Stef should the Porcelanosa tiles not be butt joint?
or is the spec different?
i used those ones tail end of last year and they were butt joint
not that they are much use but Porcelanosa tech recommend no join

Tiles should never be butt jointed.
I put this in with a 2mm spacer, was going to use a 1mm but there is a very slight variation in size.

 

[Dash J]

I have seen tiles all over the place butt join
I know bs standards
Those tiles look better with a minimum join
If you colour match the grout with a minimum join it looks seamless

I went over to Spain a few years ago with the intention of importing tiles, they butt join there rectified tiles over there.

Tiles are butted everywhere Russell

Porcelanosa state that for their rectified tiles a minimum or no join gives the desired finish to their products
As for tiles are you still in the market for tiles?im doing my rep for a company that imports tiles,they are really good quality

 

[Russell brown]

No, knocked that on the head long ago. Before the recession I was earning good money and fancied setting up a second business with a mate.

I've seen loads butt jointed also & they do look good but I've also seen a hell of a lot with cracks through them as there is no give between the tiles as they are too close together.
I'm doing this with the closest grout match I can get.
Ask Deano on here about advice through Porcelanosa or try & find the old thread on feature tile in wetroom.
Just because they say to do it that way doesn't make it right.

Quality door lining fitting hey?

 

[Stocks Tiles]

Apparently it's all good he will shave the door to fit... Oh my days :lol:

Re: Tomorrows Job

Ayup steff could you give me a rough estimate of how long the above floor would take you to prime and tile with 300 x 300s? Porcelain

 

[Stocks Tiles]

I'm not steff but would be a early day to tile and grout the floor you posted, how are you getting on?

You wanna quick fix or you happy cutting the tiles to suit lol? He/she musta been ****ed haha

 

[Dash J]

Need to speed up mate,you will end up owing the customer money for digs
Ha

 

[Stocks Tiles]

Considering you just started doing tiling that's good going, and getting the tiles down looking smart is the main thing, speed and quality comes with experience as you can't just drop the quality for speed
