Hi All,

This is my first post so I hope I have posted in the correct forum.

I'm wondering what is the minimum tile spacing I should use for floor tiles I am laying?

The tiles are 45cmx45cm and are being laid over electric underfloor heating (Devimat 150W/sqm). I have laid f-board 6mm insulation with weber rapid set tile adhesive (one suitable for underfloor heating but I can't remenber the name) over the concrete base, then laid the heating mat and applied a layer of Arc self levelling compound mixed with latex liquid to secure the heating element. I will be using the same Weber rapid set tile tile adhesive for the tiles.

I want to have the minimum suitable spacing between the tiles because I think that will look best with the bathroom design we want. I was hoping to use 3mm spacers but will this be ok with that size of tile and the underfloor heating?

Thanks in advance for any help given,

Slanty
