Penny Tile Disaster?
This penny tile was installed by a professional tile contractor. The seams between the 12×12 mesh sheets of penny rounds are very noticeable and, in my opinion, unacceptable. How do you remedy this situation at this point, and is it that common?

That’s just lack of attention to detail. People are giving the contractor too much slack. Yes it is more difficult to install these types of tiles, but not very hard (I’ve done mini hex tiles myself in an area this size). It’s such a small area too. Need’s to be pulled up and redone.
DoorSixteen.com might have some advice on installation. They did theirs themselves, looks great.
I agree that penny rounds are very difficult to install. If you don’t mind going with a black grout, I remember reading something about a grout dye. That might be a solution instead of ripping it out.
Agree it’s unacceptable and have them redo it. Hope you didn’t give them any money.
the tile guy had a bad eye..tear it up and do it again…everyone fucks up at least once, but should man up and do it right
Start again but don’t use spacers. this way it will look like one piece not squares.
Well, your tile guy should do the right thing and do it over. You paid extra for that and he came up short. Since he told you it required extra skill he should look at the first go around as practice.
I should add that my estimate was adjusted upward when the tile person learned I was installing penny tile, and I was told that it required extra labor and skill to install hex and penny. I agreed to the adjustments–no problem, no complaints. But I was expecting a skillful installation in exchange.
