Non-rectified tiles: a warmer, softer look
Non-rectified tiles keep their natural, slightly softened edge straight off the kiln rather than being ground and squared after firing. This is the traditional way tiles have always been made, and it gives you a warmer, more relaxed look with gently cushioned edges. Across this collection you will find porcelain and ceramic in the popular looks buyers reach for most, from clean whites and warm neutrals to timber, stone and concrete effects that suit floors, walls, splashbacks and feature areas.
Because the edges are not machine-ground perfectly straight, non-rectified tiles are laid with a slightly wider grout line, which most installers set around 3mm or more. That wider joint is genuinely useful: it absorbs small size variations between tiles, forgives an uneven wall or floor, and makes the job quicker and more affordable to lay. If you are after a homely, lived-in finish rather than a razor sharp minimalist grid, this is the range to browse.
Choosing non-rectified tiles for floors and walls
Non-rectified tiles suit almost any room, and the wider grout joint actually earns its keep in high traffic and wet areas because the grout gives extra grip underfoot. For a floor, a shower or an outdoor area, check the slip rating listed on each product page and match it to the room. Smaller formats and mosaics tuck neatly into showers and niches, while larger formats keep the look calm across a bigger floor, always with that soft edged, traditional character.
The trade-off to weigh is the grout line. If you want the tightest possible joints and a seamless, edge to edge modern look, a rectified tile is the better fit; if you prefer a softer, more forgiving finish that is easier and cheaper to lay, non-rectified is ideal. Exact dimensions, coverage per box and the recommended grout gap are all listed on each product page. Order a sample to see the colour, finish and edge in your own light, and every tile is price matched and delivered Australia wide.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between rectified and non-rectified tiles?+
Rectified tiles are mechanically ground after firing so every edge is perfectly straight and square, which allows very thin grout lines. Non-rectified tiles keep their natural kiln edge, which is slightly softer and set with a wider grout joint, usually around 3mm or more. Non-rectified tiles give a warmer, more traditional look and are generally more forgiving and cheaper to lay.
How wide should the grout line be for non-rectified tiles?+
Non-rectified tiles are best laid with a grout joint of about 3mm or wider, and your tiler may go a little larger depending on the tile. The wider joint absorbs small size variations between tiles and helps accommodate any unevenness in the wall or floor. The recommended grout gap for each tile is listed on the product page.
Can non-rectified tiles be used on floors and in wet areas?+
Yes. Non-rectified tiles work well on floors, in showers and in wet areas, and the slightly wider grout line even adds a little extra grip. For any floor or wet area, choose a tile with a suitable slip rating, which is listed on each product page along with the tile thickness.
Can I order a sample?+
Yes. You can order a sample of any non-rectified tile before buying so you can check the colour, finish and edge in your own light. Samples are shipped Australia wide.
