If an offset more than 33% is desired (such as a 50% offset), the ...

   • 33% offset recommendations for LFT. ANSI also provides the standards which guide the installation of ceramic tile (which includes porcelain) when the specified tile is 15″ or longer on any one side (popularly known as large-format tile or LFT).
   • Straight stack. A tile pattern of square or rectangular tile that has grout joints aligning in both the north/south and east/west directions is known as a straight stack or stack bond.
   • The 33% offset reverse. Rather than having the two low points adjacent to the high point as in a 50% offset, the tile in row one is moved to the one third point (33%) of the tile in row two.
   • The 33% offset stairstep. In this 33% offset stairstep pattern, rather than switching back and forth as in the 33% reverse, it continues in one direction forming a stairstep appearance.

   Sep 28, 2014 · 5 Tips for purchasing tile from a big box store. 1. Don’t purchase from different stores.

   What if a tile offset is more than 33%?

   • If an offset more than 33% is desired (such as a 50% offset), the specifier and owner must approve a mock-up and agree to the lippage that may result from this type of pattern being installed. The reason for this is that some tiles have what is called warpage as part of their manufacturing process. Warpage is when the tile is bowed in the middle.
