metro tiles

Hi guys, I will be doing a kitchen splashback using metro tiles. The tiles are 10cm x 20cm in size. Should I go with 2mm spacers or 3mm spacers? Grout is Mapei Keracolor Super Fine (SF). Thank you. :)

The champers would obviously create to big a grout joint. I'm thinking a mitre. Scribing might be a bit wobbly looking?

Hi, Got a job next week doing kitchen splashback in the above tiles. Firstly, what adhesive do you recommend. I use tilemaster adhesive for pretty much everything as that's what's stocked at my provider, so if you could recommend one of their adhesives that would be great. Or is it something...

First job I ever got off the forum was about 7 or 8 years ago. Was a main bathroom that was leaking and failing and a WC. Spin on 3 years and I had very little work on and I was struggling financially. In a stroke of good fortune the clients contacted me again for 2 more ensuites, a WC and a...

Does anyone know where I can purchase white subway/metro tiles with bullnose edging? I am planning to tile alcove of chimney and would like to finish edges with bullnose tiles if possible. Thank you

What kept me busy over Easter. Few question arose - how does or should one finish around electrical sockets on such tiles ? The grout did not appear to go as far as the bag suggested (I subtracted 15% from the 4mm gap numbers (gaps are 5mm) ) - 95% of a 5kg Bag of Mapei Ultracolour on just...

Our kitchen fitter has done a lovely job overall but we are disappointed with the finish around the windows which we feel lets the other good work down. I have attached pics and we have contacted him to say that we aren’t happy with the finish around the windows with the wedge of grout along...

I’m planning to use an L shaped trim for metro tiles with bevelled edge. Is it best to always have a cut edge agains the trim or doesn’t it matter? Just wondering because of the gap on the bevelled edge or will it not be noticeable as the adhesive will level it out a bit? Thanks

I was speaking with a tiler today and he said that sometimes he puts up mini metro wall tiles using no grout. That is, they're tight together. I haven't heard of this being done before, so was wondering what thoughts are on this? There would be a 19mm thick Schluter Kerdi-board substrate...
