And yes I will be putting a Silicon expansion in both jobs so was...
Just had a look at the RLS clips and thinking about moving with the times and giving them a go. I normally use 2 mm spacers, are the 1.5 mm clips compatable with 2mm spacers or do you not need spacers with the clips also are the pliers needed. I know this is a topic that is well covered on here...

Afternoon chaps
I've got a job coming up and the developer has spec'd the use of lash clips on the floor tiling. The tiles are 600 sq super white polished porcelain, 2mm joints and he wants the clips to be used to ensure no lips/shadows etc. Aprox 200mt area with a huge glass wall and bi-folds...

Just wondered of anyone on here uses a skate like this and how beneficial actually are they?.....also those spacers take a lot of skill away from the tiler... Anyone can bang them down and use those spacers!

A recent thread and a couple of members made me question the way I've been using tile trim recently and I wondered which way the forum guys and gals do it.
I've always butted the tile trim up to the tile WITHOUT a spacer, on both an external corner, and when tiles finish half way up a wall...

Am trying to layout 300mm x 100mm metro tiles horizontally in shower cubicle from tray to ceiling (23 rows) and want to avoid an awkwardly-sized top row where they meet...
Any one fitted one of these before......?
I've got one to do next week.....well I say one, it's two kitchens in one house really.
The boards come in 2400 x 900 sheets and I will have to cut to fit and cut out sockets etc, which isn't to much of a problem its getting a nice finish on the edges...
