Hi Guys.
Just quoted for 20m2 of kitchen floor(polished porcelain 330x330)
Customer specify that he wants to keep grout lines to maximum 2mm.
BS require minimum 3mm spacing(I think)any suggestions appreciated.
Funny enough always use 4mm so I`m asking for Your professional opinion.
Sub floor is chipboard witch 12mm ply(it was prepared for tiling by builder???)
Will use cement bord on the top of it.

So what minimum spacing can you recomend======= ??????

12mm ply does not comply with British Standards (15mm, which means 18mm because 15mm does not exist). Tile this job with 2mm or 22mm grout lines and when it all goes wrong you'll have to pay to rip it out and do it again. Walk away and tell him to get the "builder" to tile the floor for him instead...

As I said in the post -will use cement board over existing subfloor(chipbo`d and 12mm ply) so im not tiling directly onto 12mmp ply,am I?
So why do you think it will fail.
I`m pretty sure that most of the tilers in here will do the same maybe some will use decoupling membrane for peace of mind.

what will be your ideal method??????
