I am remodeling my bathroom. I am getting ready to start tiling the floor and tub and shower surrounding walls. I will use 6x6 porcelain tiles on the floor and 6x6 ceramic tiles on walls.
I need to buy sanded or non-sanded grout and tile spacers.

What is the most common space between 6x6 tiles?

Thanks.

The information you have so far is all good. Go for it!

I will add that; how close you can space the tiles will also depend on the quality of the tiles...meaning if they aren't cut perfectly square they won't be easy to put close together and maintain straight grout lines.

Don't depend on spacers to keep your installation in a straight line form. They won't do that if the tiles aren't square.

In fact, spacers can get you into trouble if you don't watch what you are doing.
