[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3719309, member: 44288"] They are flat but all the tiles have a crown in the middle. With the tile flat on the table, measure and end for thickness. Then measure the middle for thickness. It could be up to 1/8th of an inch off. I just learned about this as our tile jobber did it the 50% brick wall method. If you do the 1/3rd method the edges of one tile will better match in thickness to the next tile offset to it because the thickest part of all the tiles is in the middle of the tile. All of our tiles stick out a 1/16th to an eighth of an inch from the tile above and below. Horizontal/vertical doesn't matter as long as wifey is happy. [/QUOTE]
