Installing ceramic tile and other flooring that comes in pieces, planks, tiles, or other parts takes skill and precision. Installers also need an artistic touch to ensure the patterns and textures blend well together and look natural and beautiful.
When it comes to installing ceramic tile, most installers will use several different boxes to complete a job. They need to mix the boxes during installation to achieve the ideal look. If the installer does not mix the boxes by alternating the tiles they use from two or three different boxes, they run the risk of installing sections of mismatched colors.
Even though tile can come from the same dye lot, there may be some slight variations in the manufacturing process. If the installer does not mix the boxes, they might install one entire box on one side and then place another full box next to it. The mismatches would be very obvious. By mixing the tiles, any mismatches will not be apparent because the variations are spread all over the floor.
To create the most beautiful and cohesive ceramic tile floors, installers must follow the standard practice of mixing the ceramic tile boxes as they install them.
