Could you explain to me what a rectified tile is?

Daniel · Answer

A rectified tiles means that the edges are completely straight and squared.

Pavel · Answer

These are tiles that have been ground after firing for a more precise fit. Some natural clay tiles shrinking quite a bit during the firing process making them uneven in size.

Steve · Answer

Rectified edges give floor tiles cleaner lines and far less intrusive grout lines which help to creat a more seamless floor space.

Mark · Answer

It’s a tile with a sharp straight edge that can have a thinner grouting line once laid and looks neater in appearance for intricate tiling patterns.

Steven · Answer

A rectified tile is a machine finished tile with a square edge.

Mark · Answer

A rectified tile is one that has had its edges finished by a machine to a precise length and width,  thus giving each tile the same (within some tolerance) dimensions. This is important when considering using a small grout or gap line since any deviation from a standard length and width cannot be accommodated if the grout line is too small.

Ryszard · Answer

Hello
Rectified tiles are being cut by the end of production to have straight edge finish and could be installed next to each other without space.
I recommend no space installation at all.

I recommend minimum space between tiles 1.5 mm or 2mm for grouting to finish with grout sealer.
