Discuss Whats that arrow on the underside of my tiles in the Canada Tile Advice area at TilersForums.com.
I've heard thatThere are a few different thoughts on it, but I was told by a tile manufacturer it was the direction in which the tiles travelled through the manufacturing process from firing through to digital print & glazing.

So as the person laying them why would I need to know. I understand with carpet tiles as they have a direction of the pile and you can see the shade difference.Is it the same idea but to a lesser degree with tiles then.I have not done many rooms but never noticed it on a tile beforeI've heard that
I only have 1 here so i cannot check an others, I didn't know they could of started out as 60x60.I believe it to be direction of travel thro ovens/kilns. And it would make sense that the pattern flows that way because it’s the direction of travel through process. If there’s a fairly even split between arrows and non arrows it’s generally cos at the end of the process, 60 x 60’s are cut in half. That’s why it’s only on some and not others.
Because a quality installer will know which way around they go, no need for arrows.I only have 1 here so i cannot check an others, I didn't know they could of started out as 60x60.
So if it is deemed an important issue by the manufacturer to aid the installer with arrows then why cut them off on half of them.
Got an idea, hold them all together and put one line of pencil down the whole stack edge in one go so it wont even be seen once its down.That’s exactly what in do. They are usually all the same direction in the box. Open a box, lean it against wall, flick through and put small pencil mark on face.
Well if remembering what way a tile is pointing is giving you trouble there is a number you can call and certian diet changes you can make to help you out.And I suppose your good at the ball under the three cups as well
Is this a p**s take?Got an idea, hold them all together and put one line of pencil down the whole stack edge in one go so it wont even be seen once its down.
Now to go through the 3 boxes of loose tiles I have opened to plan my set out. !
