Thanks to the advice I've recieved here I am now just about ready to tile my bathroom.
But I've never used tiles of this size and I'm unsure as to grout size required.
Floor is 18mm ply over 8"x2" joists (14" ctrs) with 6X2 noggins approx very 300mm.
Then 6mm Marmox, a layer of Fibreplan with UFH in it and finally Durabase CI.
Tile is 450 square glazed porcelain from CTD.
Wall is 10mm Marmox on to 300mm ctr studs fixed to brick walls. Tile will be a 600x300mm version of the floor tile.
Adhesive throughout is Keraquick mixed with Latex plus.
I have Ultracolour plus ready and waiting and if poss (I think) I'd like the same size joint on wall & floor. 6mm maybe?
As usual I'd be grateful for any advice.

Thanks Dave,

Actually 3mm sounds good to me but from what I'd read elsewhere I thought with the UFH and large format I wasn't sure, hence I thought safer to ask.

The tile is Elegant from CTD. It's described as glazed porcelain and both wall and floor tiles measure approx 9mm in thickness.

If 3mm still sounds good then that will do me.

Thanks again

I have installed those before and with it being a square edge.. then 3mm is deffo the way to go...
