    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...

    Tile trim with metro tiles

    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

    Non-white grout for white metro tiles

    Would anyone care to suggest a specific colour/brand of non-white grout for white metro tiles. Perhaps a grey tone? I'm presuming a non-white grout will be less liable to showing discolouration of the grout with time. Thanks!

    Brick / Metro Tiling - Where to centre tile above

    Hi, Just about to do some brick tiling. When you centre the first tile on the row above, do you centre it on the grout line or at the edge of the tile below? So does the middle of the tile above go inline with the grout line or the edge of tile Hope that makes sense! Thanks
