Porcelanosa feature tile

[beanz]

I done a 4m feature wall where the tiles we like split faced and took me about 2 hours as he wanted it grouted

Are these ones split faced? I can't tell from this pic to be honest!?! I can understand that grouting split faced tiles could take ages.. 😉

It's a whole tile, ceramic. There isn't really anything to grout once they're fitted, they just butt up to each other.

Yep, but is it flat, or split faced? I'd think a fine grout would get into the joint where the tiles butt up, but whether it would stick to the whole tile... Who knows!?!

Trust me ,or not! you can grout the whole face of the tile,i used mapei ultra colour plus in charcoal.

Yep I grouted them and I hate them horrible bloody things wouldn't use them in a shower actually I wouldn't use them in my shed and in Sml tilings defense it doesn't matter how long it takes to grout them you do a bang on job that's all that matters

If its the same horrid tile that topps sell (there was a thread on here a couple of weeks ago..tile from hell) then I wouldnt touch it with a barge pole..

I used good tanking and didn't grout them in the shower room, grout will ruin the look of these tiles
good luck

There could be a lot of water getting through any ungrouted joints and even if the moisture zone is fully tanked the water could possible spread out laterally and passed the tanking.
