Slightly off subject, doing a 35 m2 ensuite this weekend, eagle polished porc or polished porc from porcelanosa. I usually use 2mm joint with these tiles but was thinking of going down to 1mm, what do you think?

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

What bond are you doing Mark? I think 1mm is a bit tight, I would feel more comfortable with 2mm rectified edge might stand 1mm but then you have to think about expansion, cement based grouts allow for a little bit of movement not a lot granted.

I do remember when rectified edge tiles came in and people were talking about butt joints, where is the grout going? also expansion issues?

Never liked 1mm joint don't think it looks right or is practical from a fixing point of view.

looking at the poll I can't honestly believe that those that always take them out are below 50% :shocked3:

Never leave them in......

 

[Mr T]

is there a tool to take them out with ease and no risk? or is it a flat head job? lol

 

[Dougs Third Go]

if you peg them, there's five, possibly ten tools for taking them out,,,,fingers:lol:, failing that I use my tile nippers.
