Granite Tile
why is there a space between the tiles on a granite tile counter top?
I was wondering why a space is left between the tiles on the granite counters? Is it something to do with holding them to the counter? Why wouldn’t you put the as close together as possible?
I guess what I don’t understand is why is there a space between the tiles? why does there have to be grout?
The minimum space needed for a granite tile is 1/8″ . This space is needed for the grout. A sanded grout that is needed for this type of material because it is hard ( low water absorption) and the thickness of the granite an unsanded grout should not be used.
It has nothing to do with holding them to the counter.
Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL
I see you added a question since you still weren t sure .
Grout is needed to fill the void since over time dirt will collect between the joints and it would be an SOB to keep clean and sanitary. Also there isn t a tile, marble or granite either made or cut that is accurate enoungh to make a solid tight joint. Grout lines can make up these small imperfections in tiles or cut stone. GL
