These are 16 inch tiles, they cover alot of ground quickly.

The last bathroom floor I did was with 1/16th inch spacers, 12 x 12 tile. I did everything I could to water proof it. It looked good for thr 2 1/2 years I saw it. But 1 1/2 years later, it looks crapey.

Most people don't realize that you need to seal groutline once a year. That's where all the moisture and grime gets through. Done this in my bathroom about 8 years ago. I seal the groutlines at least every other year, sometimes every year.

I saw on one of those home improvement show, they now make a premixed grout that has a siliacone base. Keeps water out forever!

My shower got water under it last year and I thought I would try and fix it. By the time I was done, I ended ripping out the whole thing and starting over. Not trying to hijack your thread, just thought I'd share what I did to mine. I did use the roll on water proof material under the shower and on the walls. I agree with re-applying the sealer. I do mine every 4 months now. Its easy enough to do and I hoe it helps in the long run. Your tile job looks really good on your shower.
