Generally, selecting bigger tiles means less grout is needed. We aim for thin grout lines to reduce grout usage. After calculating for various tile sizes, we found that the total grout length for our smallest tile (200x65mm) is 40 times more than that for our largest tile (1200x600mm).
For a room 2 metres by 1.7 metres, fully tiled, we’ll use approximately the following:
Large tiles
- With 300x600mm tiles, 51.9 meters of grout line
- With 600x600mm tiles, 42.6 meters of grout line
- With 1200x600mm tiles (the largest in our catalogues), 10.8 metres of grout line
Small tiles
- 330x330mm tiles, 104.9 meters of grout line
- 200×200, 189.3 meteres of grout line
- 200x100mm (standard subway tiles), 295.5 of grout line
- 200×65 (the smallest tiles available in our catalogues), 409.6 of grout line
