Large Format
A "large format" tile refers to tiles that are characterized by their larger size compared to standard or traditional tiles. The specific dimensions that classify a tile as "large format" can vary, but generally, these tiles are larger than 12x12 inches (30x30 cm). They can range in size from 12x24 inches (30x60 cm) to even larger dimensions like 24x48 inches (60x120 cm) or beyond.
The use of large format tiles has become increasingly popular in both residential and commercial settings. These tiles are known for creating a more expansive and seamless look, with fewer grout lines, especially in larger spaces. The trend towards large format tiles is driven by their ability to provide a modern and sophisticated aesthetic, as well as their practical benefits in terms of easier maintenance and cleaning due to fewer grout joints.
Large format tiles are commonly used for flooring, walls, and even countertops, offering a contemporary and sleek appearance. However, their installation may require careful planning and skilled professionals due to the weight and size of the tiles. Additionally, the choice of grout color and width becomes more critical in large format installations to achieve the desired visual effect.
