Grout line size 2mm or 3mm - TilersForums.com

Hi All, about to tile my bathroom walls with 600mm x 150mm tiles and not sure whether to use 2mm or 3mm grout lines also using the same tiles on the floor what would the grout line size normally be with the floor tile, Thanks in advance.

If the tiles are rectified or good size wise I'd use 2mm with stacked layout. Brick bond you'll need to make sure the tiles aren't bowed, in which case you may need a bigger grout gap.

Thanks, pdc think I will go safe with 3mm on walls and match 3mm on floor as I think tiles have slight bowing , might give me a bit more room for errors.

Put a couple face to face and see what they're like. Levelling clips can help reduce the bowing.

OK thanks will check, ideally would like to use 2mm on walls but don't want to create myself trouble

Im sure you'll be fine with 2mm. However, 3mm isn't a big jump but will give you some room for maneuver
