Default Why 13x13 tiles?


wrote in message

Hi,

Some brands (e.g. Daltile) have 6x6 and 13x13 tiles, while most others
offer 12x12. I'm a little bit confused by their choice of sizes since I
imagine 6x6 and 12x12 aligning perfectly (with twice the grout for the
larger tiles). But how would 6x6 and 13x13 align?

I'm assuming here that perfect alignment is a desired aesthetic
feature. Would you agree with that?

Many thanks in advance!

Due to variations in actual tile .. I doubt that you could get two 6" to
actually consistantly line-up with a 12" anyway.
I would even guess that two 12" from different manufacturers wouldn't
exactly line-up.
