Answer 1

You should have asked this to the person who suggested this, it may not be too late to contact the person.

No Q? is bad only some answers can be including mine.

Vitrified sound more accurate. Vitrification means glassified but one person says it has a look of natural stone. This could be true try on Internet and see the results.

Tiles should have some texture, if layed on floor, otherwise there are chances of slip and fall. Wall is different. Bath rooms are same way but they use smaller tiles with grouting in between.

Rectified may mean rectangular vs square, local tile deader can also help.

Answer 2

I have heard of 'Vitreous Porcelain' but not rectified.When I sold tiles for Expo,There are Two types of Porcelain.Porcelain GLAZED and True porcelain.The glazed version is just that,Only the top glaze has the hardness value (5) to be considered Porcelain,(less than .005 absorbsion rate) while the True porcelain is porcelain all the way through.The glazed on the "glazed" porcelain,can be chipped off,revealing the base tile below.The true porcelain has the same color,all the way through.Like comparing a Formica© verses a Corion© top.

Rectified porcelain is a product precut to exact specifications. The edge is even across the entire dimension of the tile. Rectified porcelain is used when you want very minimal grout lines, and when using extremely large sheets of tile.
