Hi,
I'm laying some 450 x 75 porcelain tiles on a concrete floor and would normally use a 3mm grout joint, what would be the consequences, if any, of using a 2mm grout joint?
Thanks.

Hi,
I bough two types of tiles, one of them being 300x600 rectified split face for a future wall, and the rest 300x600 marble.
Only after laying few raws of the split face and one of the marble on one wall, I found out a day after that the joints don’t line up at an internal corner - I know...
I'm about to start tiling over a Impey Aqua Grade former with 600 x 600 floor tiles using envolope cuts. One of the cuts will be corner to corner so will be 850mm long. When the corner of the tile drops 20mm the gap must open up accordingly. By how much will it open up roughly? Will it look...

Very big tiles, was thinking 5mm joint, but it actually looks huge. The tiles don't seem to be very square so I'm not sure 3mm would be enough.
Any tips for slightly out of square large tiles?
Also, thinking 10mm towel with 6mm back butter
I’ve made some slight measurement errors and ended up with a relatively large joint/gap between the top of my Hardiebacker board and the ceiling (see pic). The joint is 12mm at its widest.
With the other walls, the joint was much smaller (~2-4mm) so I’ve been able to caulk those, but I’m not...
I’m just about to install 12.5mm Hardiebacker boards in my 3-wall en suite shower and I’m just wonder how I should fill and seal the joints with the existing ceiling (believe it is just plasterboard and painted).
What should I use for filler? Tile adhesive and then tape the joints as normal...
evening chaps,
what do you prefer at wall / ceiling abutment joint ?
grout
Silicon seal
caulk seal
'nothing' just a shadow gap i.e. no grout / sealant
personally I like #4 - as long as the cuts are within 1mm tolerance of each other.
Hi,
I have an aluminium expansion joint running through 600x600mm porcelain tiles, my question is whether its best to butt the tiles against the aluminium edge or to allow a 3mm gap for grout either side of the exp. joint.
My grout is a dark grey colour and aesthetically i think it would look...
