The 9x36 running bond pattern lays a wide, wood-look plank tile with a 1/3 offset between rows, the layout most installers use to imitate the staggered look of engineered wood flooring while following ANSI guidance to limit lippage on a tile this long.

9x36 is part of the same wood-look plank tile family as 6x24 and 8x48, sized to closely mimic the proportions of engineered hardwood planks, and running bond is the layout most associated with that flooring look.
Because the tile exceeds the roughly 15-inch length threshold in ANSI A108.02, a 1/3 offset is used rather than the 50% half-lap traditionally used on wood flooring, to avoid lippage while still producing a convincingly staggered, plank-like appearance.
A 1/3 offset is recommended for 9x36 tile, following ANSI A108.02 guidance for tile longer than about 15 inches, while still giving a wood-flooring-style staggered look.
Yes — 9x36 is a common size in the wood-look plank porcelain category, designed to mimic the proportions and staggered joint pattern of engineered hardwood flooring.
All three are part of the same wood-look plank family at different width-to-length ratios; 9x36 sits between 6x24 and 8x48 in overall size, offering a similar staggered running-bond look.
A standard 10% waste allowance is typical, with more allowance in rooms with many corners, transitions, or a herringbone-style border.
