Sanded grout to go between the tiles with 1/8" joints.

After the tear out, I think part of the failure was related to floating over a 5/8" subfloor.
Unfortunately, the original builder cut some corners and made some bad decisions during the construction of the house. Even with floating this floor would not ever be 'level'.
We're shooting for the appearance of flat in all directions.

To truly accommodate a home for a floated floor a few things need to be present:

A dropped subfloor ( 3" drop )
Proper subfloor ( minimum of 3/4").
Floor joists reasonably level in relationship to one another throughout.
