Frequently Asked Questions
What are rectified tiles?
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. The cleaner edges also make it easier to create intricate laying patterns as you have more flexibility with the grout line width, a prime example being basket weave.
Are the tile sizes correct?
The sizes that are stated are the sizes that the goods are manufactured to – Referred to as “nominal sizes”. This means that due to the manufacturing process and nature of tiles, the exact sizes cannot be manufactured consistently and that different batches of the same tile can vary in size, as much as 2mm, which is a widely accepted tolerance within the industry.
Will all the tiles be delivered from the same batch?
We will always try and send tiles or flooring out from the same batch, however, this is not always practical or possible. It is recommended that you do not fix any tiles or flooring, until all items have been inspected prior to installation to avoid any potential batch shading problems.
When should I book my tiler, plumber or installer?
Many people will book their installer prior to placing their order, but this will cause issues if there are any delays in delivery or if you have received a damaged item and/or have decided to change your mind about it. We therefore recommend you book your installer roughly two weeks after the estimated delivery date, giving you time to receive the goods and inspect the items prior to installation.

After installation, can my damaged tiles be replaced?
If once fitted your tiles become damaged it is possible to purchase additional tiles and for them to be removed and replaced; a suitable tradesperson would be able to assist with this.
