I like most other members feel a little confused. Is this an attack on TF? or TTA? we all know about the problems of large format tiles & brick-bond. I for one always explain to a potential customer the pitfalls of 600x300 brick-bond, sorry if I am missing something. I look forward to the outcome of this.

Paul .. have you done the tiling or had the tiling done for you .?

How wide are the joints .?

So do I explain this to the clients but when they accepted it then go back on it then ask the TTA and then the TTA confirm something that is impossible as in this case.

We cannot say anything till we know what has gone on , what the tile is and what grout width is and what the lippage amount is. etc.

Dave this client was adamant on having a 1mm joint in a brick pattern and was told by the tile shop salesman that the tiles were pre sealed and the manufactures boxes were completely blank boxes nothing regarding recommend tile joint, nothing regarding sealing, nothing regarding not to be laid in a brick pattern, nothing on flexible adhesive, nothing regarding the microscopic holes in tiles that can cause grout haze on the tile surface just completely blank boxes.

Paul, you're still not explaining the situation very well mate. Have you fitted these tiles and now the client is unhappy with the result? And as a result has contacted the TTA?

ok.. so 3mm min on floors but can go smaller IMO.. just depends on tile and size of floor area but BS5385 states 3mm min..

Some polished porcs do require a sealer to close the open pores from the polishing process , so as to avoid grout grab.

Putting 2 tiles face to face will determine the amount of bowing and if excessive then i refuse to lay brickbond.

All of above is common knowledge to tilers paul.. This is taught when learning the trade..

The grout grab can be removed but lippage is not an easy fix... is it bad..?

Ok Dave client inspected and accepted all effects that was in them floor tiles none of these floor tiles were condemn for fitting or were they condemn in being used in any pattern and no joint was specified on the boxes these floor tiles are EU / BS standard approved for fitting in any which way.
