We prioritised getting a full tile immediately below the window and thought we’d get away with it at the top, but we’ve now got to the top and are left with a slither of a tile above the window - see photo.

    I have approx 14sqm of 200 x 100 ceramic metro tiles to grout, tiles are 6mm thick with 2mm spacers. Would a 5kg bag of grout (Mapei Keracolor) cover it? I've used a couple of grout calculators online which say I need less than 5kg but this just doesn't look enough to me? Have to order this...

    Cracks in newly finished bathroom metro tiles

    Metro tiles and corners

    Hi, first post and a question about Metro tiles. Never used these before but I'm thinking about the corners. Is it correct to assume that, for the full length tiles, I should remove the natural 'bevel' before cutting the 45 degree 'bevel' for the corners?
