Questions & Answers

Picked up 12x24 tiles from Floor Decor for shower. Actual tile size is: 11-5/8 x 23-7/16. I noticed on your website you sell the leveling system (Leveling Clip Starter) that is 1/16", my question is what size would be appropriate for this size tile. On floor decors site for this tile you can go with either 1/16, 1/8 or 3/16. I randomly pulled some of the tiles out and found that they have a slight bow in center which I've read is a by product of this size tile. I'm not sure of what size leveling system to purchase or the brand.

Another quick question: I've read to do a 1/3 stagger on layout due to the problem that these size tiles can present, so is that correct or can a 50% offset pattern be used? From what I've read the 50% offset pattern can exaggerate the lippage especially with a tight 1/16 grout size. There is way to much info online that can become overwhelming and confusing.

I just want to say thanks is advance, and I'm grateful as well as so many others for the effort you have put forth in sharing your knowledge
