large format tile gaps - TilersForums.com

[Bill]

Think how grout sales have diminished over the years 6" quarries with wide joints to 300 x300 with 5 mm joints to 600x600 with 3mm joints some tighter .

All my quarry tile were always done in sand & cement...... cheap as chips

Personally I hate anything over 2mm. I'll go to 3mm on a large floor tile if I must.

Hope not to offend by sabotaging thread but I'm just about to tile a wall with 120x60 porc. and was going to use 2mm or 1.5mm gap. Is there any reason I shouldn't? the wall is only 1.8m long two tiles high. (shower cubicle)

If your wall is stable and load bearing and has no deflection, 2mm will be ok.

...and if the tiles are rectified or straight enough and evenly sized to allow a 2mm gap.
