[QUOTE="graham35, post: 983205, member: 58133"] Thanks for your reply Dave The tiles are very good and not sizey at all, I know about the 2mm minimum for the wall tiles, but the tiler states he used 2mm spacer on all the joints, and also said BS standards state that for the size of this tile the joint can be 2mm to 5mm, now I believe he has taken that out of context, because as far as I know that would not be mixing joints of 2mm to 5mm in the same wall, I see that standard as meaning you can use 2mm or 3mm or 4mm or 5mm spacing, but if you choose 2mm then that should be throughout the whole job (my shower cubicle walls) and I know that some joints may well end up 3 or 4mm. What he has done can't be right as there is no apparent deviation in the actual tiles, he told me prior to starting the job that he was going to use 2mm spacers, he had seen the tiles we had and also said he had fixed thousands of them over the years. [B]Standards [/B]We know about the minimum of 2mm spacers, but but I can't find anything that states any acceptable +/- (I thought it was 1mm) As a tiler he could have sorted the need for wide vertical joints by using a slightly larger cut into the corner, and also starting with a cut tile at the shower tray and another at the top of the wall, as a builder I know these jobs are all about working out the detail and setting out before mixing an adhesive. What is the acceptable +/- mm ? Does any of the above make any sense please. Thanks Graham [/QUOTE]
