        "text": "Rectified porcelain tiles are mechanically finished after firing to ensure their dimensions are precise and edges are perfectly straight and uniform. This allows for very tight grout lines, often as narrow as 1/16 inch, creating a seamless and contemporary look. Non-rectified tiles, also known as pressed tiles, have more natural, slightly rounded edges and can have slight variations in size from tile to tile, necessitating wider grout lines, typically 1/8 inch or more. The choice often comes down to desired aesthetic and practicality, with rectified tiles offering a sleek finish and non-rectified being more forgiving of minor subfloor imperfections.",
