Are large-format tiles right for your bathroom?
Large-format tiles can create a clean modern bathroom, but substrate preparation, falls and set-out matter more than ever.
They reduce grout lines
Large-format tiles are popular because they create a calmer, cleaner look with fewer grout joints. That can make bathrooms feel larger and easier to maintain.
They need flatter surfaces
Bigger tiles are less forgiving on uneven walls and floors. Substrate checks and preparation are important before choosing a tile size.
Falls and drains need planning
In showers and wet areas, large tiles need careful planning around floor falls and drain positions. A smaller tile or different layout can sometimes be more practical.
