Large Format Tiles
The impactful trend for innovative design and modern interiors
Go big or go home
Trendy large format tiles bring the classics together. Inspired by the impact of marble and severity of concrete, these tiles give a timeless look and innovation to any space. The larger size of these stone tiles not only makes the installation look seamless, but their fewer grout lines make maintaining the quality effortless.

The larger size also means these tiles are heavier than regular tiles, so they require a stronger substrate and an even installation surface: horizontal surfaces need to be level and vertical surfaces need to be plumb. Spaces that are slightly uneven will need some preparation before installing large format tiles – but once done, these tiles are a beautiful choice for many interior projects.
Fearless design with large format tiles
The advanced technology of manufacturing has changed the landscape of design and architecture. What is possible in terms of quality and design of contemporary tiles is beyond imagination: realistic stone texturing and veining, the bold look of concrete and the mysterious shades of marble can all be created in durable porcelain tiles.
Should I use large format tiles?
If you are after a cohesive space that feels big and open, large format tiles could be your perfect match. Maybe you have a small bathroom that you want to make look bigger, or you have a majestic open plan kitchen with an island that needs to be honoured with an impactful tile. Large format tiles, sometimes called slab porcelain, create a unique look and are great for flooring, accent walls, showers and tubs, countertops, kitchen islands and backsplashes.
Installing large format tiles
To create a seamless impact, format tiles come in large sizes of up to 3600 x 1200mm and 3200 x 1500mm. They are also available in two different thicknesses for a smoother installation, depending on your project.
Planning your layout is always important when designing a space but it is especially so with large format tiles. A detailed layout will help you choose a pattern that suits the room, as the visual impact will be very different to smaller tiles.
