What is a calibrated tile?

Calibrated tiles are sorted to meet a manufacturer’s stated caliber range. These tiles have tighter requirements for dimensional variation than natural tiles but do not have mechanically finished edges. Rectified tiles have edges that have been mechanically finished to achieve a more precise facial dimension.

What does it mean when tiles are rectified?

Rectified tiles, or sharp edge tiles as they can be known, are ceramic or porcelain tiles that have been manufactured to a very precise tolerance. This means they are cut to near exact measurements with a near perfect straight edge.

Is rectified tile better?

Rectification is Considered an Edge Treatment for Tile Because the grinding or sawing happens to the edges of the tile, rectification is considered an edge treatment. It does not affect the thickness of the tile. Furthermore, it does not make a tile better or worse.

What’s the difference between pressed tile and rectified tile?

It is recommended to not install pressed edge tile with less than a 1/8” grout line. A “rectified” edge is a tile that has had all edges mechanically finished to achieve a more precise facial dimension. It also allows for the PRO to install using a very narrow grout line (1/16″ or 1/8″).

Can rectified tile be cut?

Tiles can expand or contract after firing. Rectified tiles are made bigger than they need to be when they’re put in the kiln, to allow for them to be cut back to precisely the right size once they’ve been fired. The ‘rectification’ process involves either grinding or cutting the tiles with a diamond saw.

Does rectified tile need grout?
