12x24 Basketweave Tile Pattern
A basketweave doesn't need two tile sizes. This single-size variant weaves one 12"x24" plank in matched over-under pairs — two upright planks beside two flat ones — so the woven look comes entirely from orientation rather than a change of format. For the decorative version with small square dots between the planks, see the two-size basketweave with cabochons.

- Thin-set adhesive: ≈ 3 bags (22.7 kg) — recommended trowel: 12mm notch, large format
- Grout — the tile sets the joint width, not you:
- ≈ 1 bag (11.3 kg) — 3mm joint, rectified / tight-set tile
- ≈ 1 bag (11.3 kg) — 5mm joint, natural or non-rectified tile
It's the tile that decides the joint, not the setter — dry-lay a section to find your width. Assumes 9.5mm tile depth; adjust for your product.

About the 12x24 Basketweave
Single-size basketweave is the oldest and simplest form of the weave: pairs of identical rectangles turned 90° against one another. It needs only one tile size, which keeps ordering and cutting straightforward.
Whether a basketweave is single-size or two-size is a purely decorative choice — the two-size version tucks a small cabochon square into the corners for accent, while this single-size version keeps a cleaner, more uniform field.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a basketweave use just one tile size?
Yes. The classic weave pairs identical rectangles turned 90°; the small cabochon dots of a two-size basketweave are decorative, not structural. This layout uses a single 12x24 plank throughout.
What tile size is this basketweave?
This layout uses one 12x24 plank. Any 1:2 rectangle — 2x4, 3x6, 6x12 — weaves the same way at a different scale.
How much waste should I add for a basketweave floor?
Around 10% is a sensible starting point. Opuslay lays the module out tile by tile against your actual room, so the estimate reflects the real cuts at the walls rather than a flat percentage.
