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.
