Acceptable Tile Level Difference

Those guidlines are for tile sizing and not lippage...

A 2p coin is about 2mm thick , so thats too much IMO....0.5mm then fair enough but really needs to be as flat as poss...

Tile sizing can happen in joint width but should not cause lippage..it can happen when cross bonding as some tile planertise (convex) in shape but straight bond should be ok...

Some rough cut stone will have lipping probs but not honed and rectified stuff..

What we have here is the professional tiler has put in a feature to the room. He should call it "the toe breaker"

polished tiles should appear to have no lippage altogether or they seem like a botch job! even the 3mm over 2m would make these tiles look nasty!

Looks like too much lippage to me, but the tiles in the 2nd photo look inconsistent. One has a noticeable bevel and the adjacent one has none. Maybe just my eyes though.

I noticed that too....i have come across afew tiles like that...some have zero chamfer and some have more....usually look ok when grouted though..if you leave the grout to set enough before washing down..

 

[basshunter]

they are all beveled mate! you just cant see it because of the g-rout

Basshunter is correct. The bevel is under the grout.
