Hi.
We are just about to have some bathroom wall and floor tiles fitted.
The floor tiles are square and grey in colour, we intend having a dark grout. The wall tiles are also square and are white in colour, we will be having a white grout. The floor tiles around aroun 1-2mm smaller in width than the wall tiles.
It is unfortunate that the floor tiles are slightly smaller however there is an oppotunity to align the grout lines so they run along the floor and then up the wall i.e. the tiles up the wall will align with the floor tiles. This will require a narrower white grout line on the walls and a wider grey grout line on the floor.
An alternative is not to have grout lines that line up. This will allow me to have identical width grout lines on the floor and ceiling.
Please advise on people's thoughts on this. Some may think it sounds anal to have them line up. The tiler has his thoughts but I thought I would ask other people for unbiased advise.
Cheers
