The installation of ceramic tile should be well done and completed by following the established ANSI standards. But unfortunately, when these requirements are not met, the resulting project can be unsightly and can cause the viewer to ask, “Why does this otherwise nice-looking floor have such skinny little pieces along the wall? They look terrible.”
The person looking at a tile installation most likely is not aware that the tile industry has guidelines to ensure that a tile installation looks good and will stand the test of time. But they do know when something doesn’t look right and they begin to question if all tile jobs look like this one. This is not good for the tile industry and yields yet another black eye.
