what size spacers to be used on bathroom floor and around drop in tub?
Kinda like the title says.
I'm using 13x13 porcelain tile on floor, 6x6 on on the side of the tub frame as well, as well as about 12 inches high on the wall where the tub meets the wall. there will be a 3 row glass tile pieces, roughly 3in,( they come in 12x12 pieces, but the sheet will need to be cut into 3 row wide pieces ) which will accent the edges. Bull noose will also be used.
I'm thinking 3/16 for the floor, but not sure about the wall/around the tub part.
any help would be great.
thanks,
L

3/8 or 1/4" on the floor. If the 6x6 don't have spacer nibs built in (subway tile), then a smaller spacer would be good. Remember, if you fall to 1/8" and below you will need unsanded grout. I think 3/16 for the floor may be too small. Lay it out first with different size spacers to see which one you like.
