[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3719068, member: 35036"] I’m pretty handy, but tile isn’t my thing. I have a question regarding this job I’m about to start putting wall tile in the shower. [ATTACH type="full"]250069[/ATTACH] I'm installing 12x24 11/32 wall tile in this shower. The box says to not to stagger the joints more than 33%, as opposed to the normal 50% brick style. Problem is, I don't see how I can do that in such a small space, the back shower wall is 48" wide. Will I be alright, or am I asking for trouble down the road? Also, will I be alright using 1/16 grout lines? also, when forming the butt joints inside the corners, do I space the tiles on adjoining walls out to match my grout lines and then caulk the gap? As opposed to letting the tiles touch?[ATTACH type="full"]250071[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
