Spread the thin set mortar with a notched trowel to a small area that will allow you to install only a handful.

What is the best way to transition between them.
Too much lippage can cause an awkward and uneven look in a shower or bath.

I am considering using two different tiles for my bathroom remodel a patterned tile for the shower walls and subways for the wainscot which are of two different thicknesses.
When installing two tiles from two different suppliers often the thickness of each tile is not the same.
Lippage describes the difference in heights between tile set side by side.
For example use a to represent border tiles that are 1 2 inch thick and b to represent the main floor tiles that are 1 4 inch.
Combine that with the fact that larger tiles need more thinset which will give them even more height and you could have a height difference of almost 1 4.
It happens all the time.
Lay out the tiles to set up a dry run to get a better picture of where certain tiles will go.
Your main shower tile is 3 8 thick or thicker and your glass accent tile or mosaic is 5 16 or less with some as thin as 1 8.
You can cut your main field tile with spaces large enough for your insert don t forget the measurement for the grout line around the mosaics.
