Grout Joints
Grout spacing for clay tile can be between 1/16”-1/8”. Due to size variation in clay tile, a smaller grout joint can create uneven grout lines, therefore larger grout lines can be easier to install. This is a recommendation, so feel free to consult us if you need additional guidance.
Sealing Required
Seal every tile piece with an adequate penetrating sealer. We recommend Prime-A-Pell 200.
