Rectified vs Non-Rectified

When seeking new tiles, you might encounter the term “rectified porcelain.” Wondering what it means? Allow Arizona Tile to demystify and differentiate rectified and non-rectified porcelain tiles.

 

Rectified and non-rectified refer to tile edges. Non-rectified, or pressed, tiles have natural edges with subtle variations. Rectified tiles undergo a manufacturing process involving grinding or cutting edges to minimize size differences, ensuring uniformity and sharp corners.

 

While rectified tiles offer precision for thin grout lines and a modern aesthetic, non-rectified tiles are suited for standard-width grout lines and a more casual look. Consider your project’s size, style, and budget for the best choice.
