Rectified Tile - Installation and Design

Most homeowners have not heard the term "rectified tile" used but probably understand what it is. Rectified tile is an increasingly standard choice for interior remodeling projects. It refers to the tile that has been mechanically finished on all sides to realize optimum precision. It’s used most often in large tiles and also occasionally when large and small tiles are used together to make a patterned design.
Using a rectified tile allows you to put the tiles much closer together using tighter joint spacing. This makes the grout less visible as there's less grout used. When a large space is used between tiles, the grout becomes a distinct part of the design and if the grout doesn't blend well with the tiles it will create a less than professional looking finish. Also, the grout will easily become soiled and discolored over time and can detract from the design of the tile itself.
That is the main reason why owners are willing to pay more for rectified tiles and their installation. The look of a room once the tiles are laid is much more desirable and engaging. It’s easier for the person laying the tile to get an exact line as there's less movement and shifting when the tile is placed down.
Laying rectified tile will have its challenges and it's always an honest plan to employ a reputable, skilled tile layer to get the best results. Covering is never a simple, do-it-yourself project someone with very little experience should undertake.
The biggest drawback for the installer of rectified tile is that there currently is no business-standard. The manufacturer will call whatever tile he likes "rectified". Consistency within the product lines is a problem. For the most part, a rectified tile is formed by grinding down a tile that has already been fired and it, therefore, should remain fairly consistent from tile to tile. But the quantity of variation between tiles is entirely up to the manufacturer.
Homeowners are usually willing to pay a little extra to purchase a rectified tile, but they're not always willing to pay more for the rectified installation. They do not understand the complexities concerned within the installation of various kinds of tiles. To them, installing a tile is installing a tile. If the tile the house owner purchases has significant size variations, it'll need more skill and experience to lay the tile properly for an optimum look.
While rectified tile is the tile of choice for several owners, it's not always preferred by the installer. In time, when business norms are standardized, it'll undoubtedly become a little easier on the rectified installation end as well. In the meantime, rectified tiles are here to remain.
