Rectified tiles laid with 3mm & grey grou 21Jan 08, 2011 1:21 pm Rectifieds look much better laid with the smaller joint but it is not a given within the industry to assume that is going to be the standard laying technique. The onus is on the house owner to make it clear to the tiler what is expected with the finer details. IMHO 3mm with 600X600 would lose all of its class. rectifieds are a totally different kettle of fish to lay than conventional ceramics . Sadly,most people don't know. Re: $5,000 WASTED! Rectified tiles laid with 3mm & grey grou 22Sep 11, 2018 2:00 pm JanFreeman We have builders building our new house. We selected 600x600 rectified porcelain tiles which got delivered early last week.

Any advice or insight will be extremely appreciated. Hi , was wondering how did your meeting go with the director. We are building with metricon and still haven't started construction . I am having a same discussion with them about grout , cuz i had given them pictures of glendale display to show the seemless look but they are insisting that the grout line will be 3mm and will be silver grey on a white porcelein tile . I am in the same position as you are . This is one of the reasons I decided to go overseas for my double glazed windows.
