Kitchen Splashback

Post by REX »

I am tiling my kitchen splashback and would like to know if you can butt your border tiles directly on the worktop or do leave a gap?

you can butt them on but if your worktop is slightly out of level then you are knackered. put them onto spacers and if the worktop goes up then you have a bit of play.

I'd leave a gap to be honest, you can lay your first row of tiles onto some tile spacers. It makes it much easier if you ever decide to change your kitchen worktops :wink:
