How Close Together can you Set Ceramic Floor Tiles?

Q. We are reflooring our entryway and hall with ceramic floor tile. We want to create a "seamless" look with the ceramic tiles. As a result, we want to set the tiles as close together as possible.
I like to have no space between the tiles, it look nicer.

When laying ceramic tile floor in a bathroom, do you need to grout/caulk where the floor and walls meet?

Q. I am having a bathroom remodeled and the contractor that did the ceramic floor, put down wood baseboards and then durock before installing the ceramic tile. He then grouted everything, but he didn't grout or do anything around the edge of the bathroom where the floor meets the wall. When I asked about this to another of the contractors, he said that that area would be covered with the shoe molding and didn't need to be grouted. Is this true. Is this common practice or should the very edges of the rooom be grouted too or caulked or something. Is this just a matter of preference among contractors or did they miss a step?

A. You need to allow the floor to expand and contract at a different rate than the walls. Do not fill the voids. Put a shoe moulding over the ends of the tiles near the walls.
