More often than not, when reforming an older Spanish property (or sometimes not
so old!) is that the tiles have been hung using butting method. The benefit is to the
builder, as it is less time consuming and cheaper on materials.
The problem with this method is that with our climate here in Andalucia, where we
have high temperatures, high humidity and seasonal variations of these, surfaces
expand and contract accordingly. This causes the tiles to lift away from the
concrete base they were put on.
This impacts on: hygiene, aesthetics and of course property value.

Other than marble tiles we use a series of spacers to compensate for this.
This takes a little extra time but the long term advantages are that the tiles stay in
place.
