Whats the difference?

A course grout heavy in aggregates could cause the scratches.
Looking at the images closely, the scratches appear to have been caused by a circular motion, maybe during cleaning, not by walking.

Was a buffing machine used ?
I thinking along those lines ,, as if I was grouting or buffing by hand the circles wouldn't be so perfect , I'm also thinking is there a fault in the tile that wasn't spotted until after installation where in fact they are marks made in production

If its a grouting cause it would be on specific tiles not on all 90 msq area with same shapes and distances.. Its a fault in production.. I was said to have 1st choice italian Grac!!!!

Looks like it occurred after the tiles were set, it's like the scratch patterns span across multiple tiles.
I might agree hut if scratches occured when tiles were set when grouting some areas should be in good conditions.. Im telling you all 100 msq area eventhough i didnt start living in my home yet 😊

Personally I think it's scratches from the polishing process in the production and it's just not very good

If those are leftover or not yet installed tiles, open a box and examine a few to see if the scratches are there as well. That should help get it sorted.
