Size spacers on 60x40 trav

[Midlandceramics]

Views on size spacer on 60x40 trav 2mm or 3mm is it a personal choice or is there pros and cons to a diff size spacer !!

 

[Ian]

2 for walls 3 for floors. Just personal choice really.

 

[John Benton]

Always minimum 3mm on floor and I prefer to match on wall with 3mm

I think 2mm on rectified edges looks a bit small so I normally go for 3mm with trav

 

[White Room]

If your doing small joints a finer grout would be better used rather than the sandy ones....

 

[cam_low]

There you go Midland. Its a personal thing is grout sizes. I'm going to bed before it all starts kicking off. There will be infractions issued within the hour

2mm for me, unless the tiles have a bit of a size variance.. Then I'd go 3mm

 

[Midlandceramics]

I do like to see 2mm on wall and 3mm on floor unless it's all in same room and I like to try and continue the line from wall to floor where poss.so would use the same ! And 3mm does give you that bit of play if trav is slightly out !!

 

[Dougs Third Go]

personally I'd use 3mm on trav, personal choice.

 

[Sean Kelly]

Topps travertine i would go for 5mm !!!!!! Only kidding, I would do 3mm for the walls and floor.

There is a britishstandard for tile spacing but as I'm on holiday I can't look it up right now.... I think my time would be better spent refilling my glass of vino...

There is, and it's 3mm for floors. I ignore that one regularly
