Basketweave tile pattern
A basketweave pattern alternates pairs of horizontal and vertical rectangular tiles, creating a woven appearance. It's a classic pattern seen in traditional entryways, bathrooms, and historic buildings.
Tile requirements
Basketweave works best with tiles that have a 2:1 length-to-width ratio: 2×4, 3×6, or 4×8. The pattern can also include small square accent tiles (dots) at each intersection — if using dots, order those separately.
Why 15% waste
The basketweave pattern requires precise cutting at borders where the alternating orientation creates complex edge conditions. Unlike running bond, the off-cuts from one edge don't fit at the opposite edge.
