This invention relates to wall, floor and ceiling tiles, made of ceramic, plastic or other relevant materials that are adhered to a surface and are subsequently grouted. A self-aligning and self-spacing tile system comprises one or more tiles, wherein a tile comprises a cosmetic face (1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 12, 13) with a perimeter; at least one side wall (2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) around the perimeter of said cosmetic face (1, 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, 12, 13); at least one projection from said side wall (2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d). Said projection has a top surface (6, 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) projecting outward from said sidewall (2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) to a top edge (7, 7c, 7d), further projecting laterally in two directions to a filleted or square side edge; and further has an inward front curvature (9, 9d) or a front inward chamfer that originates at the bottom of said side wall (2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) and either joins directly with said top edge (7, 7c, 7d), or via a front face (8, 8c, 8d) which extends downward from said top edge (7, 7c, 7d); and further has further has an inward side curvature (11, 11d) or a side inward chamfer that originates from the bottom of said side wall (2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) and either joins directly with said side edge, or via a side face (10, 10a, 10b, 10d) which extends downward from said top edge (7, 7c, 7d).
