   We Do not  recommend installing tiles without joints.
   The width of grout lines must be decided during project-planning and keeping in mind the following considerations:

       • Dimensional characteristics of tiles (rectified joint-less products: 1-2mm depending on the size or not-rectified open-joint products)

       • Type of support/substrate

       • Destination of use of the material (indoor/outdoor floor or indoor/outdoor wall cladding)

       • Any standard and/or regulation in force in the country where the tiles shall be installed

2. How can I choose the correct GROUT COLOUR for a product?

   Josies Bathrooms staff are always at your disposal to advice you and choose the best grout colour according to tiles to be installed, providing you with the product codes of grouts.

3. In a worksite, how can the ceramic material be PROTECTED after installation and before delivery to final customers?

   In the period between installation and consignment, the ceramic tiled surface must:

       • Be kept clean and free from any cement, sand or other dirt residue which can cause stains and/or mechanical abrasion to the surface

       • Be protected from any damage caused by the presence of other operators (painters, electricians, carpenters, etc.)
