        "text": "Rectified tiles are mechanically cut or ground to have extremely precise, uniform dimensions and sharp, 90-degree edges. This allows for very tight grout lines, creating a sleek, continuous look that can mimic the appearance of a single slab. Non-rectified tiles, also known as pressed or cushion-edged tiles, have slightly softer, beveled edges and may vary subtly in size. They typically require wider grout lines, which can add a rustic or traditional feel. The choice affects both the aesthetic and the overall installation cost due to different labor requirements.",
