Rustic Metro Tiles and Plug Sockets/Switches

[Obiwanquinnobi]

Been a while since I've posted here...

The missus wants rustic metro type tiles on the kitchen splash backs but I'm not sure how the many plug sockets/switched spur fascias are going to sit on top of such irregular faced tile.

She reckons we can fill any gaps in with caulk :/ but I'm not so sure.

Anyone used these type of tiles before where there are multiple socket fascias can share thier experiences/workarounds/advice?

Cheers in advance

Sorry, not much help, but I didn't take any real precautions.

There are some gaps, but all my sockets are under wall cabinets, so I really don't notice them, and my aesthetic sensibilities aren't offended!



You could mount some socket/switch spacers and tile around them, for a more seemless look?

Thanks for the reply. That looks OK actually.
Where are those tiles from just out of interest?

I bought them around ten years ago, so the prices have gone up a bit!...
