Advice about splashback tiles - TilersForums.com

Hi, can anyone advise me what size spaces are used for 100 x 100 tiles?
Also does the same spcres apply for curved edged tiles of the same size.
Any other advice about these tiles would be great too.
Many thanks

i would always go for 2mm spacers with 100x100mm and that includes curved egde!

I use 2mm spacers with 100 x 100. If they have curved edges, I put them in by eye, no spacers. With an adhesive like Bal white star, you have no slipping of the tile. Just stand back every tile or so, and make sure they look level etc.............

white star--you just don't get any other tubbed addy like it

Hi, my thoughts on th subject are similar tto the rest of the guys. are you a tiler or someone looking to have tiling done for you.
If you are a tiler tiling for someone I always find it best to ak the client first, as what I want to do is'nt always what the client wants to do.
I mostly do 2mm grot lines with 4x4s but I have been asked to make the grout lines as big as 10mm before and when doing hand made tiles, or irregular lined tiles, I find having a bigger grout line makes the tiling look better, ultimately it is the client who will say I want a small grout line.

Mapei will be fine. If you want to use tubbed stuff check out D1 or D2.
