What is the correct tile spacing for wall tiling? - TilersForums.com

[Smiths]

But 1mm is less than the standard right?

What standard, mine or yours?

i dont use spacers unless the tiles are very heavy Travertine etc, but i tend to have a joint of 3mm on walls, less for stone

I agree, I usually do it by eye.

eye joints only work with ceramics and porc's, not natural stone, even some spacers get crushed under the weight of say 305 x 305 marble / limestone / travertine....

wedges seem to work well on stone..

Excuse me? Stone on a wall is a whole different story, mr. fitter. I understand that, thank you very much.

With marble being very pourus, it can draw out the moisture out of the grout, therefore more chance of a wider joint cracking, so by reducing it to 1mm spacers for very porus tiles will reduces the chances of grout cracks It also looks better on marble granit etc
