Main menu. Rectified tile is tile that has been mechanically finished on all sides to achieve uniformity and precision. During the manufacturing process, an extra step is taken to grind the tile to precise and consistent dimensions. The most sought after feature of rectified tile is that the uniform size allows for tile to be installed with narrow grout joints. The narrow grout joints create a seamless, continuous look that is desired by designers. It is recommended by the industry that grout joints for rectified tile must be at least 1/8â wide.
