SpacersThe spacers used are just box wrap that is about .75 mm in width. We've switched to using these instead of the plastic spacers as it is about the right grout line with most tiles.dozer00000

Granito TilesThese are the heavy granito tiles, each weighing appx 7.5 kg each. They are laid much like granite or marble because of their weight. Many 'tilers' don't know how to do a proper job with granito and I have seen it done wrong many times.dozer00000

Video Showing Granito Tile LayingThis is a 7 minute video showing the process for laying granito tiles. It is a bit funky in that the tiler goes really slow because of the camera, but it demonstrates in general how it should be done. The main thing to note is that it is a two step process using dry mix concrete as a base. dozer00000
