Tile Installation In 1/3 Pattern - How Does The Third Pattern/Design Look? See One 3rd Tile Pattern
This 88 SF bathroom floor got 12 x 24 in. porcelain tile installed in a third/3rd pattern/design. Each additional row of tiles is offset by 1/3 of the length of a tile.
So if the tile size is 12 by 24, we take the length of 24 in. and divide it by 3 (3 thirds, right?) and each grout line in the next row will be moved in the same direction by 8 inches.
It takes more time to install tiles in this 3rd pattern and there's probably more waste as some cut tiles may not be able to be used because of the tile size needed for the pattern. More of those cut tiles may have been able to be used in a regular or random pattern but then you don't get the beauty of the 3rd pattern - that is, if you like it.

what was said in the video: third or one third pattern and this is how it looks and a simple explanation of it will be 1/3, 2/3 and a full length this one is 24 inches long this one is 16 this one is 8 so if you start like that then the pattern you get you know these lines here every line is one third of a tile and then this is how it looks so this is the one third and from here looks like this that's the third pattern distance from here to here it's supposed to be a third of a tile so this is 24 this is 8
