    white gloss brick tiles bevelled edges 150x75, spacers? or no spacers?

    I'm after some advice. Having the above tiles fitted today and was wondering what spacers people use? I think it looks better without any spacers as there is still 0.5mm gap due to the edges of the tiles bevelled. What do you guys think?
