Why 13x13 tiles?
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! Aaron Fude |

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. Mike |
