The Benefits of Large-Format Tiles in Modern Homes

Large-format tiles produce a smooth, uninterrupted surface. They add a modern and refined aesthetic to any space. The reduced number of grout lines creates a clean and cohesive look that can make your designs look more intentional.

Installing small tiles usually results in many grout lines, which can be distracting for the eye, causing an interior space to appear more cluttered than it is. Large-format tiles minimize grout lines, which creates the illusion of expansiveness and makes small rooms, such as kitchens and bathrooms, appear larger than they are.

While large-format tiles are generally associated with modern aesthetics, they come in many different textures, styles, and finishes to complement any interior or outdoor space. Whether you're searching for non-slip tiles for your pool deck or need slabs for your walkway, there's a perfect large-format tile for every project.

Let's face it. Cleaning and maintaining your flooring isn't always fun, even less so if you've installed small tiles with many grout lines that stain over time. The fewer grout lines created by large-format tile installation make cleaning much easier and less time-consuming.

Large-format tiles are generally more durable than smaller tiles. They have a high resistance to scratching and shattering. Their durability and resistance to wear and tear make large-format tiles excellent flooring for areas that experience heavy foot traffic, such as walkways, hallways, and living rooms.

The once-dominant trend of grey and white is giving way to warmer, more inviting beige tones.

Opt for tiles made from natural materials like stone and terracotta, and pair them with porcelain tiles in soft, earthy shades such as brown, beige, sand, cream, and ochre.

For a cohesive yet dynamic look, try sticking to a single neutral shade and mixing tiles with different textures to introduce variety and visual interest.

Large-format tiles are superb heat conductors and distributors, making them a great option for underfloor heating systems. Their smooth surface ensures even heat distribution, which can be hugely beneficial in areas where floor heating is necessary for comfort, such as bathrooms and living rooms.
