Is spacing a big issue with travertine

[marke]

Hi Guys
Just wondered what your thoughts are on spacing travertine , my personal preference is 2mm spaces wall and floor,
doing so much travertine at the moment and always full bathrooms walls and floor so seems sensible for the best finish keeping all grout lines bang on , i know BS says min 2mm wall / 3mm floor
my floors always solid never any comebacks but am i likely to ?
have you guys ever had problems along these lines ?

cheers

I have always stuck to the 3mm min for floors, so if they want matching lines, its 3mm for walls too

3mm all round if wall and floor are going to be tiled..

1.5mm up to 2 mm max.

Any bigger then that only shows how unprofessional you are

If 2mm walls..then floor matches...if perimeter joints are used then this is fine...BS is a standard and NOT a law.. so tiling knowledge will tell you what you can and can't do.

Really depends on the quality(sizeyness) of the Travertine

1.5mm floor and wall for me .

Every tiler will have there own idea on what looks best, nothing to do with how professional you are :lol:

I beg your pardon??? - unprofessional??? That's way to big a word for you to use

2m if poss all the time everywhere, but if the customer wants different then it will be thier choice. thats what i do, . In an ideal world i would use 1.5, but not practical most of the time.

2mm for me in general but always confer with your customer if you can,the customer is always right, even if there wrong! :yikes:
