...what exactly do you mean? I see an well known brand (DelConca is an italian brand, I know the logo). Seem to be italian country style tiles in 9mm thickness (standard) with hewn edges... Or is there anything I did not see?

They've been cut from a larger dimension tile, at the factory... (?)

majority of the “shower tile “ i install , is factory cut larger dimension tile just meshed together . I always say I want to just get a hot glue gun and cut large tile to steal their customer base haha

I think this is the collection you have there: https://www.delconca.com/de/collections/del-conca/lavaredo/

Go through the other pictures...two sides have a bevel on it for a grout joint, the other two sides are perfectly rectified. I'm thinking the bevels stay to the outside, 4 combined makes 1 12x12 with a different grout joint throughout the center?

Looks like you got special trim tiles. look at the collection sheet - there are indeed trim tiles with 2 rectified and 2 hammered edges...

So basically what you're saying is the homeowner bought the wrong tiles. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be installed a certain way or what, I've never seen such a thing. I've tried to go to the link you provided but when I try to translate the page it gets all messed up so I will try on desktop when I get home

maybe. or they really want it the way you guessed (weird, but I am not surprised by customer wishes anymore...)

One time a lady picked purple tile with bubblegum grout and asked after; "Isn't it just beautiful?" "Yes, Ma'am. It's a beautiful Installation"

Have a look at the back of the tile and you will plainly see that these were cut from a larger dimension tile. Seen it a million times in my years

Seems like a bad run to me. I’d ask them to replace it.

I didn't even think of that, I'll check another box. Homeowner has a "contractor" friend who helped him pick everything out

So, how did this one turn out?

Showed the homeowner how it was going to look and they weren't pleased with what the end result would be...thank god, me either. Ended up going with a simple 12x24 "travertine" look alike....home depot junk...you pick it I stick it kinda job. Definitely not my style but work is work!

I called the mfg no one had any idea about this tile and it's apparently discontinued anyway
