Tile and Stone High Edges (Lippage)
One of the most common concerns we hear from consumers regarding their tile floors is the tile having high edges; this is what is known as lippage. What is lippage? Lippage refers to the elevation differences between the edges of adjacent tile modules. Sometimes excessive lippage can be perceived due to lighting, low-filled grout joints, or even the grout joint spacing. To determine the amount of acceptable lippage, the average width of the grout joints must be determined. Tile installations with grout joints less than 1/4 inch in width have an allowance of 1/32 inch, and tile installations with grout joints wider than 1/4 inch have an allowance of 1/16 inch. Secondly, the inherent warpage of the tile needs to be determined by measuring the edge and diagonal warping of the tile. Once these two values have been established the lippage allowance can be calculated, by adding the allowable lippage to the inherent warpage of the tile.
Not quite as simple as using a credit card, coin, or ruler to measure the allowed tolerances. This is where we come in, we can determine if the tile floor and even the tile itself are within ANSI standards and unpack it all in an easy-to-digest report form to help the consumer, installer, dealer, or builder cut through the opinions and get to the facts. This service starts at $425.00, although a consultation can be completed for $175.00
