Patterning
This is a design option that many people don’t even consider.
Yet it’s one of the best ways tile can be used to express a
personal style. Tile can be laid in a grid; on a diagonal;
different sizes, colors or even finishes can be combined —
the options are almost endless — and each can dramatically
change the look of a room.

Grid pattern.
Throughout this brochure, you’ll find a variety of tile
patterns and borders to liven up the surfaces in any
room, anywhere. A dark outline on the pattern indicates
where tiles begin to repeat. The key below each pattern
tells you the approximate number of pieces per 100
square or linear feet of each tile size required to create
each pattern or border.

Hints for getting started:
– Never assume a room is perfectly square – always square
off from the center and begin pattern along one edge.
– To avoid rough edges on tile, always float the floor to
a level state before installing tile.
– Always round to the next highest footage when
calculating square footage of tile needed.
