A seamless tile texture with crazing tile arranged in a stretcher pattern. The image represents a physical area of 1016 x 1016 mm (40 x 40 inches) in total, with each individual tile measuring approximately 250 x 250 mm. The joints are filled with mortar and are 4 mm (0.2 inches) in width.
Crazing tile sourced from tenement stairwell in Glasgow. Crazing is a phenomenon that naturally occurs during the manufacturing process of a ceramic or porcelain tile. When a tile is fired in a kiln, the material bonds with the glaze layer, and the fluctuations in temperature cause subtle, fine cracks to appear on the tile surface.
This texture uses a running pattern also known as a stretcher bond. The stretcher bond is one of the most common bonds used in masonry construction and uses stretchers, bricks laid flat with their long edge parallel to the wall. Each alternating course is offset by a half stretcher.
This image is seamless, meaning it can be tiled repeatedly for use in architectural drawings and 3D models. It can be used as a SketchUp texture, Revit material or imported into Photoshop for use in 2D illustrations.
