Spacers or no spacers?

[Chalker]

Got a bathroom floor to tile tomorrow, in a bathroom I've been fitting. He has a pallet of the stone pictured below.
question is, could I use spacers or would it not work . So will I have to just fit them without.
cheers .

To be honest i never use spacers with modulars.

I recently laid porcelain modulars from CTD. it said on the box to use 3-4 mm spacing but spaces were different through....

Chalk lines mate, and keep to them with no spacers and all will be good

It's stone. Spacers or no spacers you can cut to fit.

Bathroom finished.
I used a mixture of 3mm spacers and a bit of "by eye"

Looks like a nice bathroom Chalker

Do have a few questions though😳

With the shower glass butted up to the bath like that, how was it siliconed? Namely where the bath edge meets the glass. Of course it's easy to Silicon the joint but bath edges are very rarely 100% straight and as such any Silicon pumped in would create a jagged line of Silicon viewable from the inside of the shower enclosure. Secondly the tiled bath panel is stepped back slightly from the bath edge (maybe 3-4mm) and so again how was that gap filled between the tiles and shower screen? or maybe it wasnt?

I had the glass sandblasted on the outside where it is against the bath. For the step to t the glass I cut a 5mm strip of tile and ground two grooves to match to grout lines, this was then stuck to the tiles with two part resin. As for sealing, I put a very small bead of clear onto the bath edge and the edge of the spacer tile then fitted the screen and put some gentle pressure on the glass to make sure the gap was filled, but the Silicon didn't squash. After that dried I sealed properly using a fugi tool.

No spacers for me either.

Always used spacers on opus pattern to keep it tight, but only when tiles are rectified

If not rectified uncalibrated slate then no spacer
