If you’re shopping for your new favourite tiles, you’ll probably notice a lot of the term ‘Rectified Tiles’ in our descriptions. Unsure of what this means? Don’t worry, we’re here to explain. So, what is the difference between rectified and non-rectified tiles?
Rectified Tiles
Let’s start with rectified tiles. Rectified tiles are tiles that feature a near-perfect straight-cut edge. Their measurements will be exact, resulting in a much cleaner overall finish across your tiling, as shown with our Lucca Beige Tiles below.

The cutting process in the production of a rectified tile is much more precise and exact than non-rectified tiles, to ensure all the tiles are the exact same shape and size. The final result can often appear as one large tiled area, creating a modern and contemporary space.

Non-Rectified Tiles
Non-rectified tiles tend to have uneven edges, making for a more natural look across your tiling. They also require a wider grout joint which can often result in a classic and traditional tiled look.

The decision on what tiles you go for is completely down to the style you’re aiming for in your home. Rectified tiles are clean and elegant, creating a dynamic and fierce look across the walls and floors of your home. Whereas non-rectified tiles will complement a more rugged and vintage style.
