Arrows on back of porcelain tiles

[Dave H]

Do you take note of direction arrows on back of most porcelain, are they for tilers benefit or just
for production purposes, have spoken to various tilers with varying thoughts

Obviously you don't, have a look next time you fix porcelain, normally a small arrow at one edge, and normally following direction of any pattern.

You've answered your own question there then Dave if the arrows point in the direction of a pattern to follow!

This way up?? lol

Can't say ive ever paid attention to it, the pattern on the face of the tile usually tells you. I would of hazard a guess at a production marking though. If any tile has a destinct pattern, surely just look at the tile face?

Normally yes, but not always the case, also had some Cotto de este 60x60 recently that were a fraction difference in size one way to other, over a few tiles this makes a difference.

They're for the cowboy tilers so they can think they are being attacks by Indians....

Just done over 200m2 of 60 x 60 porcelain and noticed the arrows. Didn't pay too much attention to them but tiles have gone down ok.
