Hi all,
I turned up at a clients for some repeat work. They wanted a downstairs toilet tiling, walls and floors. Anyway the floor tiles are the same as the upstairs bathroom I did a month back, 30 x 30 with irregular sides and rounded corners. After discussion, I did them with 5mm gaps which left big corner grout gaps because of the rounded corners.
However, the client liked them that much she chose smaller wall tiles, 15 x 15 she thought in the same version. I opened a box and found 2 sides are perfectly straight and 2 are irregular. The other boxes are the same.
After speaking to the tile suppliers they recommend 2 mm grout gaps for walls (they are porcelain as well!!:furious3: ) and a good adhesive to make sure they dont slip. Also tile in a random fashion with regard to tile orientation.
Im a bit worried about the grout lines not being totally straight and how the effect will look with the 2 straight sides and 2 irregular.
Have any of you folk used such tiles and any tips, how did the job look??
Cheers
Dave
