7 Good Reasons to Choose Large Format Tiles
Large format tiles are wall or floor tiles that exceed the average 12×12 sized tile. These tiles are available in square or rectangular shapes and can be as large as 40×120.
The popularity of larger format tiles continues to grow. Here are our top 7 benefits for using large format tiles:
- The rectangular or square shape of large format tiles is on trend right now.
- Depending on how they are laid, rectangular large format tiles can make a space look longer or wider & lead the eye to see a bigger space.
- They will create a great visual of luxury and opulence.
- They are perfect for a seamless flow from indoors to outdoors.
- Large format tiles require fewer grout lines and therefore make the space less busy and showcase the stone, not the grout.
- With fewer grout lines comes the bonus of less cleaning and easier maintenance.
- There is less cutting required during installation.
Large Format Tiles for Indoor to Outdoor Living
Designing a space to flow seamlessly from indoors to out is easy with larger format tiles. With fewer grout lines and therefore easier cleaning and a visual that appears to create more space, large format tiles are the perfect solution for a homogenous floor that takes you gracefully from inside to the great outdoors.
