I need to buy grout and tile spacers. What is the most common space between 6x6 tiles

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.

Spacing is a matter of personal taste and the design of the tile---

A very square cut tile like granite usually looks best with a small space--1/16" is common

The more common rounded edge tiles often look best with 1/8 or even 3/16"--

I suggest that you lay out several tiles--space them so they look good to you---then measure the gap and see what you have----


As to grout----unsanded for 1/8" or smaller----sanded for any thing wider---Read the package.

Not a bad plan----Let's see what Jazz or Bud have to say----Spacers? Check out the round ones from Lowes---They are much easier to use and remove than crosses.----Mike----
