What grout join for 600 x 300 polished porcelain,tile is light grey with dark grey grout! I usually keep joints to a minimum 1.5 or 2 with this type of tile but was thinking of going up to 3. ? Set out will be straight set landscape! ....what's you opinions?

2mm wall...3mm floor.

i'd go with 2-2,5mm. depend on quality of tiles (same size,square)

Tiles are well calibrated, I allways think smaller groutline is better, just wondering if everyone is of the same opinion and have used 3 or even 5 mill with these?

 

[DHTiling]

I have used 2mm no probs.

 

[Tony73]

Have you asked the customer what they want Charlie1?

Usually 2mm on walls but if it's a set then a 3mm to line up with the floor. Customer's choice at the end of the day.

Ye, you have experience working for them then..... As it goes, went with 2mm as usual however walls were out a mile ( 25 mm over a 1m span! Some other areas 10mm, this is all new plasterboard walls, how can they get walls this wrong? I have insisted it all gets repaired prior to fixing! Grrrr
