The gap size between tiles is often referred to as the grout line, grout joint, or grout width, with the size required depending on the type of tile, substrate, grout and your own personal preference as a tiler. These grout lines are designed to prevent water, dust and dirt from accumulating in the inevitable gaps between tiles, whilst also ensuring the tiles are able to withstand movement, thermal expansion and variations within the tiles.<\/p>\n
The common practice is a gap of 2mm or 3mm for wall tiles and between 3mm and 5mm for floor tiles, however it is important to follow the standards within the BS 5385-1 which outline the sizes required depending on the tiles being used and the substrate.
