Without these precise edges much more grout is needed to even things out across the floor.
Ceramic plank tile was set with 1 32 grout line. When re modeling floors bathroom or a kitchen almost everybody wants to have the minimum grout lines between their tiles. If you want to know why please keep reading. Note that using the smallest grout possible will increase installation time. Then measure several different tiles from different boxes.
Minimum grout lines the quick answer is nothing closer than 1 16. Actual finished grout spaces will vary from 1 8 to 1 4 if 3 16 spacers are used. Large grout joints will require the use of sanded grout. We recommend a 3 16 grout.
If that s the case you can use a 1 16 grout line and not have any problems. Sizes such as 6 x 24 15 x 61 cm and 8 x 36 20 x 91 cm have become the new normal when considering these wood plank tiles.

Rectified tiles are perfectly uniform with precisely defined edges requiring the least amount of grout. Tiles that vary in size and shape need large grout joint widths 3 8 to 1 2 inch. A 2 enter the grout joint width and depth in decimal inches. Rectified tile has very exact edges.
With a very good tile you should get exactly the same measurement every time. E 1 type in the tile width and length in inches. Because a medium size grout line is easier to work with and in most cases can hide some slight imperfections it is often the choice of both experts and the average diy homeowner. My initial studies looking at large format tile install said 1 4 grout lines.
If smaller spacers like 1 8 are used it will accentuate the size difference of handmade tile. All other cuts of tile from tumbled to chiseled to punched contain slight variations in shape and size. First the smallest grout lines less than 1 8 inch are ideal for rectified tiles.
