FAQ
What is grout spacing?
Grout is the gap between tiles. Common spacing is 2mm to 5mm. Wider grout lines require more grout material but can hide slight variations in tile size.
Can I tile over existing tiles?
Yes, if the existing tiles are secure and flat. However, it raises the floor level, which might cause issues with doors.
