I want to put up a wainscoting of slate tile about 3 feet high on one
wall in my TV room.Because of the "look", I'd like to install the tiles
with the edges butting up to each other instead of having a grout line
between.

Can this be done or is the grout necessary for strength or?

Any drawbacks with doing this?


You can, but if its riven slate the edges never quite lie flush with
each other.

Which is why we use 5mm gaps and grout...

You can get dark colored grout though - BAL do lots of interesting colors.
