Tiled murals on subli metal?

[Limara]

I have a kitchen wall that I want to put quite a large tiled mural on, ( 62" x 38" ) I have been researching for a while and have seen lots of problems with ceramic tiles, both printing and durability.

I have also seen that sublimated metal is supposed to be more scratch resistant and the print more vibrant.

Does any one know if its possible to do a wall mural with the metal tiles, I am not sure about either the fixing which seems to be double sided tape, or what to do with the joints as I cant see tile grout being any good the joints would not be deep enough.

So it looks like the surface should be more scratch resistant, the image more vibrant and then the cost of metal appears to be a lot cheaper compared to tiles.

Any one tried this? or suggestions as to what tiles are best. UV is not a problem that wall will never see the sun, it will also not be any where near any heat but will need to be frequently washed as it is a food prep area.

I hate threads that end in a PM. I thought forums were for sharing information?

No need to state you're sending a PM, that's the point. While you're there Steve, you'll see an unread message from me from a week ago
