New BS regulations don’t come in to effect until the piece exceeds 1200 x 600mm.

...and a 5mm joint full of micromax2 will SOOOOO good on very large formats!

Bal worrying they won't sell much grout . So persuade working group to increase joint size

Vested interests and over-speccing.

Think how grout sales have diminished over the years 6" quarries with wide joints to 300 x300 with 5 mm joints to 600x600 with 3mm joints some tighter .

Look at what Bal are charging for a 10kg bag of Microflex. £30 odd. They can whistle.

My last floor size was a similar rectangle , laid 120x60 rectified porcelain onto Kerakoll idro build Mat , followed expansion gaps on liquid screed floor , with ufh and put a soft joint in the middle of floor with matching Silicon used 2mm spacers ! Can’t see anyone wanting a 4 mm joint with an expensive tile, but that’s just my opinion!

I've just done 50m2 the same size and used 3mm. Tiles were perfect and could have done smaller but it's always nice to have some breathing space!
