This happens after firing, to make <strong>the overall size of the tile more precise and accurate<\/strong>. Through this process the manufacturer minimises variations in size from tile to tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For grinding the tile an exact measuring procedure is applied where <strong>a perfect square or rectangle is guaranteed with each tile<\/strong>. This way it fits better with the rest of the tiles. The rectified tiles will have the edge cut at a 90-degree angle <strong>and will be completely straight.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The procedure is done with diamond grinding wheels that remove material to obtain the desired size. <strong>This polishing is only done on the edges of the tile <\/strong>and does not affect the thickness or quality of the tile surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RECTIFIED TILE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people choose this type of tile because it gives the <strong>impression of a perfect finish.<\/strong> It is as if there were no joints between the tiles, especially if we choose a joint with the same colour as the tile, this will give us a sense of continuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L<strong>aying a non-rectified tile forces you to create larger joints<\/strong> and the end result is not as perfect as with a rectified tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Rectified-Tiles-2-S-1024x615.jpg\" alt=\"Rectified Tile\" class=\"wp-image-50508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Rectified-Tiles-2-S-1024x615.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Rectified-Tiles-2-S-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Rectified-Tiles-2-S-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Rectified-Tiles-2-S-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Rectified-Tiles-2-S.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CLEAN AND UNIFORM PRECISION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When we place one <strong>rectified tile<\/strong> next to another we can appreciate the precise, clean and uniform edge. Thanks to this we can place the tile much closer to each other. <strong>This creates finer and cleaner lines of the joints. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Most rectified tiles are made of porcelain<\/strong>. This will make them more durable and easier to clean than other materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-cb70da46-ecc6-487f-99e0-1a9d87d8bf7c\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-cb70da46-ecc6-487f-99e0-1a9d87d8bf7c\" id=\"hs-cta-cb70da46-ecc6-487f-99e0-1a9d87d8bf7c\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/6786297\/cb70da46-ecc6-487f-99e0-1a9d87d8bf7c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-cb70da46-ecc6-487f-99e0-1a9d87d8bf7c\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" height=\"191\" width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/6786297\/cb70da46-ecc6-487f-99e0-1a9d87d8bf7c.png\" alt=\"New call-to-action\"><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(6786297, 'cb70da46-ecc6-487f-99e0-1a9d87d8bf7c', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HIGHER PRICE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that <strong>the cost of this tile is somewhat higher,<\/strong> due to the process.

To help, these are the points you need to bear in mind when<strong> laying rectified tiles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before laying it you have to <strong>use the thin-bed technique,<\/strong> which consists of preparing the place where the tiles will be laid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/rectified-tiles-4-s-1024x693.jpg\" alt=\"rectified tiles\" class=\"wp-image-51101\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/rectified-tiles-4-s-1024x693.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/rectified-tiles-4-s-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/rectified-tiles-4-s-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/rectified-tiles-4-s-1536x1039.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/rectified-tiles-4-s.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The walls must be mastered, this means that we will previously <strong>apply a continuous coating on master guides made of plaster or mortar.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is very <strong>important to have a smooth surface<\/strong> where there is no unevenness before the installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once we have the surface prepared, we will apply the adhesive and lay the tile.
