Hi guys, I will be doing a kitchen splashback using metro tiles.

The tiles are 10cm x 20cm in size. Should I go with 2mm spacers or 3mm spacers? Grout is Mapei Keracolor Super Fine (SF).

Thank you.

:)

Metro tiles, 2mm spacers, Mapei Primer G (white emulsion will be scraped off first!), then Mapei https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ and tiles.

First thing is to get work top fitted dead level. Will make life easier

Is the sink centred to the two wall units left and right ?

What do you mean by internal corner trim

I'm panicking a bit now as I have a length of this, from Genesis, please see attached. Do I not bother using it in the internal corners? Shall I mitre the tiles instead in the corners?

Also, this is the external corner trim I have.

Shall I use that instead in all corners, both internal and external then?

I crossed out the wall on my atachment as that doesn't apply in my case, I will move the profile slightly to the right to sit flush with the left wall, if you see what I mean.

DIY gets me excited but when a pro says you doing wrong I start panicking! :(

So with metros. Pick the centre of your main wall. Usually a cooker hood area. But in your case it’s a sink. If that is centred between the two wall units then find the center of that. Tile from that line off the counter top.
