Floor tiles are a very nice and classic way to spice up a dingy kitchen or boring bathroom. Not only is it beautiful to look at, but it is also a durable and versatile material for areas with high levels of traffic and humidity. The type of tile often determines the size of the joint that will be used. In most cases, it is desirable to have small joints. If a tile is a ground, a distance of 2mm or 3mm is possible. Easy to clean and maintain, if installed properly, a tile floor may be the last floor you will ever need. A 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm joint is good for many tiles. It often depends on the calibration of the tiles. If a tile has not been ground, most tiles will not be 100% perfectly sized, so a joint of more than 2mm is required to allow for proper installation. Their size can sometimes vary from tile to tile by half a millimeter or 1/64 ″ or so due to baking and drying factors during production, which is normal. When considering laying new tile in your home, there are a few factors to consider to ensure your flooring will keep its distance and look good doing so.
