Up to 10 of tiles as supplied.
Ceramic tile tolerances. Standard specification for ceramic tile that is currently being balloted rectified tiles are addressed. There are tolerances for tile lippage. Ceramic tiles are generally manufactured to conform to the european agreed standard of which the english language version is bs 6431 or the newer iso dis 10545. There are rectified porcelain tiles that are more consistent in size tolerances where they recommend 1 16 inch wide grout joints.
2c can you see daylight between the two tiles. Both specifications use the water absorption characteristic to define product type as water absorption is a commonly related item for all. Many times larger tiles are warped curved pillowed or just plain crooked. For large format tiles with one.
Manufacturing tolerances for ceramic tiles. The size requirements for rectified tile tile q a by bill griese rectifying the misconceptions associated with rectified tile and. Table 1 in as 4459 1 1999 also iso 10545 1 1995 ceramic tiles part 1. There are ways to measure.
Tile lippage which is were one edge of a tile is higher or lower than the adjacent tile edge is normal to a degree but there are limitations. Maximum deviation from square edge is 0 5 of length of tile. The ansi a108 02 standards say that acceptable lippage for floor tiles with a grout joint width of 1 16 to less than 1 4 is 1 32 plus the allowable inherent warpage of the tile. 2 how many tiles from any one batch can be outside the tolerances described in iso 13006 1998.
For tiles with all edges less than 15 the maximum allowable variation is 1 4 in 10 and no more than 1 16 in 12. However as of 2011 subsurface tolerances for tile installation based on tile unit size have been updated in the tcna handbook. For example if you have a 400 mm square tile then the maximum gap between the straight. The intent of the standard is to define reasonable lippage from one tile to another.

As an example under iso13006 the tolerances are. Accordingly the tolerance for variation from tile to tile includes the actual warpage of the tile. This document con tains both a definition and specific dimensional tolerances for rectified tile.
