The tiles look exactly as expected. We’re happy with them! You may want to install in a brick layer pattern so that distinct lines don’t show after installation. The tiles we have are the 1” square shell tiles in a 12” piece. If installed in a row they may have a slightly thicker line between tiles since there’s no grout needed. It will look good either way, it just depends if you can get the tiles close together and how picky you want to be with it.
