Optimax Heavy Duty Expansion Joint

If laying 10mm porcelain would a 12.5mm floor Optimax Heavy Duty Expansion Joint be the one to get?

Well a 10mm would be of no use. It’s making sure you perinatal the expansion trim and then being attentive to the bedding of adhesive that you apply, if done correctly then that trim should be fine. I normally allow about 2mm for adhesive but it depends on the format size of your tile. A 300x300 will sink more into the bed than a 600x600. What size of tile are you fitting and what type and size of notch are all factors to consider.

Well tile thickness is 10mm trowel 10mm round notch, tile is 120 x 20 wood planks
