About LinkBacksI'm after some advice. Having the above tiles fitted today and was wondering what spacers people use? I think it looks better without any spacers as there is still 0.5mm gap due to the edges of the tiles bevelled. What do you guys think?

Re: white gloss brick tiles bevelled edges 150x75, spacers? or no spacers?
I seen some in tops with spacers and looked not good. What would have if no spacers were in?
2mm for me too. Job would look awful with anything less IMO.....

Anyone not used spacers for these tiles. I think 2 mm gap is too big for such small tiles.
If you butt joint them , then no grout will get right through the joint and it will crack as all you are doing is filling the small chamfer on the face of the tiles. If you want a tighter joint then at least use 1mm spacers but BS is 2mm. Never butt joint.

as you grout these tiles ,finger the grout out also and work in small areas cos your water bucket will be full of grout otherwise.labour intensive tile that one.
Re: white gloss brick tiles bevelled edges 150x75, spacers? or no spacers?
minimum 2mm no less for me , no joint
Re: white gloss brick tiles bevelled edges 150x75, spacers? or no spacers?

That looks good. The tiler has made a start using 2mm spacers. hope i dont regret this. thanks for your advice.
Re: white gloss brick tiles bevelled edges 150x75, spacers? or no spacers?

Re: white gloss brick tiles bevelled edges 150x75, spacers? or no spacers?

Re: white gloss brick tiles bevelled edges 150x75, spacers? or no spacers?
most deffo white on a white tile ,,make sure its a decent brand i use bal products..never get any comebacks..dont get shrinkage or pin holes when mixed right .
They probably never looked good with spacers as topps don't grout the displays.Originally Posted by king_imy

Personally, I always do it in 2mm no matter how small the tile. Really nice finish. Would never do less than 2mm & most definite, NEVER butt joint. You will just create problems. Here's my 2mm examples on the 20x10 metros. I've no pics of the mini's:
