[QUOTE="Stuart_AC, post: 893822"] Thanks for your comments Tom.. There was nothing on site other than buckets of clean water so I'm 100% confident that it's not a spillage. Also as I said it's on about 20 tiles at all through the house so I would have had to spill stuff over and over at different locations. My gut feeling is that it has migrated from under the tile but I have no experience to back this up. Also every so often a tile got particularly messy with adhesive when laying so got quite a soaking when sponging it off. I can't be sure it was those tiles in particular but maybe thats a factor? I take your point about the grouting... It's actually fine it's just the picture that's taken in really unforgiving light. You'll see that only the left to right grout lines look low but the bottom to top look fine - that's because there's 11m of glass running along this elevation. The low sun at this time of year skims across the surface accentuating even 0.5mm as a shadow. (Annoyingly though the tile on the top right of this picture is the worst on the whole job for lippage). At the design stage I did consider the 'grimsby double' or 'swiss grouting method' which is to do a second grout pass to completely fill the joint but discouted that for a 2 reasons.. 1st being that grout isn't a wear layer so would erode in high footfall areas, 2nd being that it risks staining the tile doing the second pass.
