Spacers?
Hi - am tiling my en suite floors & walls in the same (ceramic 330 sq's) tile.Received wisdom is 5mm for the floor & 2mm (poss 3?) for the walls.But as I want them to match / align and for it all to look as uniform as possible, what do I use? 3 or 4mm all over as a compromise? Worried that whichever will look too thin on the floor & too wide on the walls.What do you pros out there do please? Cheers.(Excuse fat fingers on the phone...)RSB

Re: Spacers?
As above with the grout joints, If your following the floor to walls then do your setting out but I would do the floor first so you know the grout joints will follow thru to the walls..IMO..works for me.

Re: Spacers?
dependent upon your substrate for the floor, if it's a timber floor with underfloor heating, personally i'd use 4-5mm joints and 2-3mm on the walls. Try marrying up the focal point from your centre wall joint to a joint in your floor
