Thank you for your review of our tiles! Since these tiles are designed for a nail up application, they are larger than a standard lay-in tile would be as they manufactured with an overlapping feature. For future install needs, we do make the tiles in a Lay-In version of all the same style and finish options. I've linked this one below for reference.
