That's why Arketex takes an extra step in the manufacture of its structural facing tile. Each 8" x 16", 8W unit goes through a fettling, or final finishing process. It is carefully sanded to produce true edges and uniform dimensions. As a result, Arketex tiles lay easily and smoothly into clean alignment particularly important on patterned walls to which Arketex tile lends itself so well. You end up with lower in-wall costs and a better-satisfied customer.
