Grouting Metro Wall Tiles

[cruvz]

Do I have to grout between metro wall tiles or can I just butt them up to each other with no gap?

They must be grouted.

Thanks. Was hoping could get way without as they look really nice just butted up to each other!!

 

[Gazzer]

Are these in a wet area or not ?

Kitchen walls above work top and 3 rows behind a sink.

Any gaps are just going to be a breeding ground for all types of nasties !!!

if you but tiles to close then any movement will put presure on the tiles forcing then off the wall the grout is a cushion between tiles that takes this stress when grouting metro tiles to make it easyer to remove grout i will run the back end of a pencil up and down the joints removing exess grout then wipe clean with sponge leaving a nice smooth joint
