    Recommended grout width on 60 x 60 square edged ceramic floor tile

    Can anyone advise what is the recommended grout width on 60 x 60 ceramic floor tiles with square edges laid on a concrete floor. My wife says she doesn´t want them grouting and that they should just " butt up " but i feel sure that you must have grout to finish off. Any advice would be appreciated.
