Are Rectified Tiles Better?

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.

Which is better rectified or non-rectified tiles?

Choosing a rectified or non-rectified tile is down to preference and the type of space you are tiling. Rectified can look more modern with their seamless finish whereas non-rectified gives you more opportunity to use decorative grouts. Whichever you choose, we're sure you will love your finished, tiled space.
