because the gaps and stuff
Some are, others are not. The solid white and bone tile are generally self spacing. You can tell from the slight bump on the sides of the tile.
some shapes tile and some don't because if the side angles don't equal a factor of 360 degrees it will not tile and if the side angles do equal a factor a 360 degrees it willtile.
No, the grout allows for tile expansion and contractions, without it your tile could crack but there are some tile that can be installed with minimal (1/16inch) grout lines.
Yes it may be used with certain porcelain tile made in the USA modifiers can be added for others.
There are some tools for cutting tiles. You can use a circular saw or a manual tile cutter. But for tile cutting best is tile saw. Ceramic tiles are chipping easily thats why wet tile saws are best for cutting ceramic tiles.
An [equilateral] triangle, square and hexagon are the only regular polygons which, by themselves, will tile a surface.
Yes, but only with some polygons.
Regular polygons with 5, 7 or more sides.
Yes.
Yes.
Bone
Yes.
Yes, copies of a polygon can be used to tile a surface, provided the polygon is a suitable shape. Regular polygons, like squares and equilateral triangles, can easily tile a plane without gaps or overlaps. However, some irregular polygons can also tile surfaces, depending on their angles and side lengths. The key requirement for a polygon to tile a surface is that it can cover the area without leaving any spaces between the tiles.
Triangles, squares and hexagons. That is if they all have to be the same. If you use different regular polygons, you can tile a flat surface with triangles and 12-sides or with squares and 8-sides for example.
The only ones are equilateral triangles, squares and regular hexagons.
There are only three regular polygons which with tile. These a re a triangle, quadrilateral (square) and hexagon.This is because if there are n tiles meeting at a point, then the sum of the angles around that point must be 360 degrees - otherwise the polygons will overlap. The only regular polygons with interior angles that are factors of 360 are the ones mentioned above.
