The 24x24 running bond pattern lays the same large 24"x24" tile with a 1/3 offset between rows instead of the standard aligned grid, following ANSI guidance to limit lippage on tile this size.

At 24 inches per side, running bond on this tile always uses the reduced 1/3 offset recommended by ANSI A108.02 for tile 15 inches or larger, rather than a traditional 50% half-lap.
Offsetting a square 24x24 tile is a deliberate stylistic choice, occasionally used to add visual texture to a large floor, though it remains far less common than the standard stack bond grid for this size.
A 1/3 offset is recommended for 24x24 tile rather than 50%, per ANSI A108.02 guidance, to limit lippage risk on a tile this large.
Because the tile is square, an offset direction doesn't follow naturally from the shape, and most large-format porcelain is marketed and installed as a straight grid instead.
Yes — as with stack bond, rectified (precisely calibrated) tile is recommended at this size regardless of offset, to minimize visible size inconsistency at the joints.
A standard 10% waste allowance applies, the same as for a stack bond layout of the same size.
