Width of grout

[tileunique]

Hi all, was wondering if there was a standard grout width for each size of tile or if its entirely down to the customers preference?

[Sir Ramic]

Usually 2mm for walls and 3mm for floor but no real standard. Those measurements are british standards.

Cheers sir ramic, it helps if i can quote the british standard,2mm even for big tiles, say 60x30?

[ROBSON MCGREGOR]

It all depends on what you & the customer want.

We carry spacers from 1mm through to 5mm, Have a box of sevens but never use them.

Think british standard state minimum 2mm.

For me grout is the weak point of the project.Often when i look at a job that is a few years old(especially when water is involved)the grout lines look a little nasty.I try to keep grout lines to a minimum when I have a choice(adhering to british standards)
