What are the do’s and dont’s of grid tiling?

There are several things you should do when installing grid tiling, but there are a range of other things that you should also avoid. These include:

• DO choose tiles colours carefully- whether you want to create plain background tiling for the entire room, or you want to make a feature wall or tiling statement, you will need to choose the right tile colours. This can include alternating colours, creating a colour gradient or fade, or even using the same colour throughout.
• DON’T forget to use tile spacers- you might think that its fairly easy to lay tiles in a grid layout, but the gaps between each tile need to be equal all across the space. This means that tile spacers are an essential, and should not be forgotten.
• DO use grout colour to make a statement- if you are creating a feature wall, you can use grout colour to really help the tiles stand out and create a visual feature. Contrasting grout colour can be very effective. However, for plain background tiling, you may want to stick with regular grout colours instead.
