    You will need a cement based flexi adhesive for those tiles and flexi grout...

    What size tile is it...?

    300x300

    I'll buy the 1part gramfix flexi. I've got some grey flexi grout but don't think that will go with the cream tiles

    i just hate buying a big bag for such a small job (3sqm).

    look like i'll have to do it.

    what size spacing would be good, 5mm or 2mm?

    I would of thought you would of been better with white if you were going for a cream grout.
    Seeing as though it is a porch though I would recommend a darker colour grout as a light grout in heavilly soiled/trafficked areas tends to go dark v.quickly...from personal experience

    Darker grout on the floor.

    We used lighter colour and 5 years later it looks mucky



    The colour of the addy doesnt matter because its hidden under the tiles. Its just the grout that needs attention.



    Its that bit inbetween the little cross spacer (above) that people see
