GO BIG AT HOME!

Large-format tiles are the latest trend in tile products.

The versatility of this impressive product used on floors and walls allows for a wide variety of creative uses. The aesthetic impact of large tiles is eye-catching and elegant and offers inspiration for designers, builders, and homeowners looking for ways to make a bold statement within their spaces.

If you are looking for ways to add depth and visual interest to your rooms, largeformat tiles are your answer. These tiles come in square and rectangular shapes in both ceramic, porcelain, and stone. One of the benefits of using large-format tiles is that they provide sharp grout joints for a clean, seamless look without the visual interruption of the more common wider grout joints. Another benefit: using these tiles on your walls creates the illusion that your walls are taller. Plus, aside from creating durable, easy-to-clean floors, large-format floor tiles have a major impact on making a room seem bigger—and they are easier to install.

Maybe it’s time to transform and customize your kitchen, living area, or bathroom with large-format tiles, available in a variety of colors, patterns, and textures to match your individual style. Ceramic and porcelain tile floors outperform other floor finishes in the long run when comparing the cost per square foot. Other benefits of tile include sustainability, better indoor air quality, and the reduction of heating and cooling costs due to its unique thermal mass.
