Benefits of Installing Tile on a Diagonal (Diamond Tile Pattern)

Choosing a tile pattern can be a daunting task.  You have to take into consideration that the more complex designs take longer to install and may increase your budget due to added materials needed.  The MeasureRIGHT Pro solves these issues by allowing you to accuratly measure and mark the sometimes complicated tile cuts you may encounter on your installation. 
The purpose of a diagonal tile pattern is to draw your eye outwards to the points, making the space seem larger.  This could be useful in a smaller space and the benefits of the design are worth the additional effort.  In order to keep the room visually appealing and not to draw all your attention to the floors you should stick to neutral colors that are subtle but still interesting.  Remember that tile is permanent and replacement is costly; so choose your tile and pattern accordingly, it will save you misery in the long run.
Now if you still are having trouble on choosing a design pattern for your tile installation then look for a little free help from a professional.  Most of your local tile stores have a design desk or person on staff whose expertise is in tile design.  Seek out their advice on how you should proceed and what patterns would look best in the space you have.

The New Trend in Flooring: Rectified Tile Installed with Minimal Grout Lines & the Tile Tools That Make it EASIER

A rectified tile is defined as a tile that has gone through an additional step in the manufacturing process to ensure uniformity in size. (It has been cut after being fired at a very high temperature)  A non-rectified tile does not undergo this process and slight variations in tile sizes may exist because each tile will shrink during the firing process as moisture escapes.

Now what does this mean to you? 

There is a new trend gaining popularity where rectified tile is being installed edge to edge with very minimal grout lines.  The look tends to make your space feel larger because there are no lines drawing the eye to each individual tile.

As long as you have the Right Tools and conditions you can Do-It-Yourself.

1. Most important is having a level floor.
Each tile has to lay flat in order for this installation to work and achieve the aesthetic look you want.

          keep your tiles evenly spaced.  If you
          want also have the 1/16” spacers (Green) for a slightly 
          larger grout joint.
3. The MeasureRIGHT Pro tile measuring gauge to install       
                   precisely cut tiles. Working with such a small grout   
                   joint means that there is little room for error when it

                  are precise the first time.
4.  The Tavy-Tile Puck is a lippage detector.  Run this
        level over your adjoining tiles to detect if one tile is    
        not level with the others.  You don’t want to stub your   
        toe later on down the line to determine if one tile is not in
        line with the rest.
