Grout line thickness!?!

Yupp, very true, especially for low to mid end rectified tiles. Did a bathroom with rectified polished porcelain bout 6 months ago, and they cost 50gbp/m2, and they differed up to about 2mm from each other, in the same box. I remember it quite clearly because the customer requested thin joints.

very similar story but with Villeroy Boch tiles (about £80m2) variance of about 2 mm, very annoying as they were on walls also!:mad2:

The main problem beanz is that tiles are rarely the same size unless you buy very expensive ones. It also depends on the substrate you are tiling on to. Anything with the potential for movement needs to have room for the movement, hence a bigger joint.

To have a 1 mm grout line, you will need to have very high quality tiles, a very stable and flat substrate and very good eyes!

Something like this grumpy
