In order to deliver an eye-pleasing tile installation, the tile mechanic needs to follow all the tile industry standards and best practices when possible. One of these requirements calls for the tile to be centered and balanced as we shall see.
ANSI A108.02 section 4.3.1 states, “Center and balance areas of tile, if possible” and section 4.3.2 states, “An excessive amount of cuts shall not be made. Usually, no cuts smaller than half size should be made. Make all cuts on the outer edges of the field.”
