[QUOTE="Tile Shop, post: 925898"] Thickness wouldn't make much of a difference, only to the time it takes to reach its top temperature. It would be on the assumption that the tile at the overall thickness would heat up evenly. I know thats not 100% realistic as one side would heat up quicker than the other, but the difference is neglegable and wouldn't alter the overall maximum possible expansion. If you had a 1m room, with a single 1m slab, starting at 20oc rising to 34, gives a maximum expansion of 0.056mm. Still a very tiny and almost insignificant amount. Even if it was divided into smaller porcelain tiles, the expansion % would be at the same but you would have more grout joints to buffer the effect. so if you had 10 98x98 with 2mm grout joints each tile would expand by 0.0056mm...... which is naff all.
