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.
