I think the bottle cap pattern is aesthetically pleasing. What a great idea. I suppose the caps wouldn’t collapse or indent from a person’s standing on them because the morter is filling the empty space on the underside.
I’d worry about the paint coming off the caps–a sort of colorless trail could develop from door to toilet! But maybe if they put a heavy coat of polyurethane on it will be okay.
