Gaps Between Homogeneous Tiles

[Yeoman 0]

Hi Home Lovers,

My tiling works for my living room is almost done.

However, I notice the gaps between every tile is

bigger than that of my neighbor's..

When I highlighted this to my ID, she mentioned that

the spacing is actually an allowance for the tiles to expand

and contract.

She also mentioned that tiles that are too closely spaced

will most likely face problems in the future based on her

experience. I did some research on my own and what she

said did have some truth. Any comments?

Btw, good thing is she said she will redo all the tiling works

if i insist. Hence now pondering whether to do it anot? !!

!!

my tiler did mention something like that to me too, saying that actually it's better to have bigger gap, if gap too thin, the cement might not last too long, but he also said that now new owner all prefer to have thinner gap, cos it look nicer.

so i think it's still up to individual.

Thanks for the reply.

Yup, after much thought, think its better to leave it as it is in case problem

arises in the future.
