Tiles
Choosing tiles
Tiles are chosen in function of the space they will be placed in. Every space requires
an other demand about tools. We have to keep two things in mind: esthetics and technics.
Esthetical: the wanted view, influence of the shape and use of space. Technical: namely,
which load is the tile exposed to?
The core goal is choosing the technical correct tile answering the esthetic demands
within a specific budget.

Ordering Tiles
Keep in mind that:
- even in a lot of first class tiles, there could be some tiles with some faults.
(The norms allow 5 % faults in a first class lot.)
- you will always have a loss of cutting. According to the pattern and space you
have to tile; you will have a higher or smaller loss.
- you keep some boxes of tiles as a reserve after tiling. In case you have to fix
something later on or you have to place some more.
It is recommanded to order 5% to 10% extra flags than you strictly need for tiling a space.
