Answered on 4th Nov 2020 - Member since Mar 2018 - report"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."
Answered on 4th Nov 2020 - Member since Oct 2020 - report"A rectified tile is a machine finished tile with a square edge."
Answered on 4th Nov 2020 - Member since Nov 2020 - report"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."
Answered on 5th Nov 2020 - Member since Aug 2020 - report"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."
