The tile installation standard states that lipping allowances of between 1 & 2mm depending on whether the tiles are ground flat or have cushion edges can have the curvature in the tiles added to the lipping tolerances.
Few large tiles come near this allowance, however the Australian Tile Council , strongly advise tile re-sellers to check their stock to ascertain their curvature. If stocked large tiles do not comply with the above mentioned standard, then the ATC suggest that tile resellers should advise their sales staff to inform the consumer of potential lipping problems which would display significant curvature within a brick pattern and therefore inform consumers that, laying the same tiles in a straight pattern would minimizes any lipping.
