No it wasn't a game I can a sure you of that I was just get other tilers opinions on what as been quoted by The Tile Association when it is impossible not to have tile lipping with these floor tiles that are manufactured as someone said bowed that are all within EU / BS standards it's a bit unfair for The Tile Association to quote this when they should know it's impossible not to get tile lipping in a brick pattern with tiles that manufactured warped.

What don't you understand that we all know you can't get 60 x 30 cm porcelain floor tiles that are manufactured with curvatures in them that are all within EU tolerances fitted in a brick pattern without tile lipping but the tile association are stating.
In terms of lipping it states there should be no "appreciable differences" between levels across tiles.
In my opinion tile lipping is lipping which means it cannot be level across tiles if there is lipping in the tiles.

So why not just say that to start with ?
If a tile of this size is bent/warped and laid brickbond/halfbond then it will have some form of lippage.

I like most other members feel a little confused. Is this an attack on TF? or TTA? we all know about the problems of large format tiles & brick-bond. I for one always explain to a potential customer the pitfalls of 600x300 brick-bond, sorry if I am missing something. I look forward to the outcome of this.

So do I explain this to the clients but when they accepted it then go back on it then ask the TTA and then the TTA confirm something that is impossible as in this case.

We cannot say anything till we know what has gone on , what the tile is and what grout width is and what the lippage amount is. etc.

Dave this client was adamant on having a 1mm joint in a brick pattern and was told by the tile shop salesman that the tiles were pre sealed and the manufactures boxes were completely blank boxes nothing regarding recommend tile joint, nothing regarding sealing, nothing regarding not to be laid in a brick pattern, nothing on flexible adhesive, nothing regarding the microscopic holes in tiles that can cause grout haze on the tile surface just completely blank boxes.

Paul, you're still not explaining the situation very well mate. Have you fitted these tiles and now the client is unhappy with the result? And as a result has contacted the TTA?

Re: Manufactured Curvature 60 x 30 cm Porcelain Tiles In Brick Patter
ok.. so 3mm min on floors but can go smaller IMO.. just depends on tile and size of floor area but BS5385 states 3mm min..
Some polished porcs do require a sealer to close the open pores from the polishing process , so as to avoid grout grab.
Putting 2 tiles face to face will determine the amount of bowing and if excessive then i refuse to lay brickbond.

All of above is common knowledge to tilers paul.. This is taught when learning the trade..
The grout grab can be removed but lippage is not an easy fix... is it bad..?
