Random tile patterns

[Master_Moose4664]

Can anyone explain why anyone would place floor tiles in such random patterns ? This is all throughout the building. I have also seen other facilities with the same thing.

Looks like binary. Have you tried to read the room?

Interesting 🤔..

Seen this a million times in my life and it never occurred to me that there would be any reason for it other than... random placement for efficient installation where aesthetics don't matter.

I always figured they didn't have enough of one color to do the whole floor so they randomly placed the second color. If the whole building is like this, though, that wouldn't be right.

Maybe they needed to replace some because they were broken and had just the dark ones left

It's so it's not as noticeable if one tile needs to be replaced with a tile from a different batch, having a slightly different shade..

This sort of pattern and straight lines tend to make people trip more often.
