I just learned something new: there are rectified tiles and calibrated tiles (besides "normal" tiles). Have you installed such tiles? If yes, why? Do you have photos?
... Tiles within a manufacturing process can have slight dimensional deviations, in the range of 1-2 mm. [...] However, when laying the tiles, the joints must be left 5mm wide to mask these small differences.
Calibrated tiles, on the other hand, have the same dimension. Because the tiles are measured after production and sorted by caliber. [...]
Rectification means a specific type of edge processing for porcelain stoneware tiles. After production, the tiles [...] are cut precisely to an exactly equal size with 90-degree edges. The exact dimensional accuracy of the rectified tiles makes installation with very narrow joints, approximately 2mm, possible.
