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

[Dan]

The correct tile spacing for wall tiling is a minimum of 2mm. The maximum will depend on the tile size tolerance and the tile grout used. The thicker the spacing and the deeper the tile, the more coarse grout you require.

I always use 2 or 3mm spacing on wall tiles.

Some even use cardboard, I suppose providing it's at least 2mm you're still withing standards

1mm is usually for marble or polished limestone, to try and achieve a sheet face look

But 1mm is less than the standard right?
