split face uncallibrated limestone slips in a wet area, would you have them?

[doug boardley]

opinions would be grateful, what would be your thoughts on the pros and cons of having limestone split face slips with tight joints in a wet area?

Any pics Doug? my doubts about tight joints in wet areas is always capillary action. I presume there will be enough joint for grout?

similar to the thread you posted a little while ago Phil,(but if you could post an image to save me trawling through the threads I'd be grateful ), at the moment it's all in the planning stage and I have my opinions about this, but I've been asked to get a general consensus amongst fellow pro's

Sorry Doug, can't recall that post, was it the slate slips? sorry.

 

[doug boardley]

they're those interlocking slates Phil that have more lips than Sting's mates in the rainforest..

butt joints or very small joints with uneven surfaces in a wet / bathroom area! Might as well bath in a petri dish:lol:
