Large format tiles can add an interesting dimension to your interior decor with lovely clean and uncluttered lines and a more modern look.
What Are Large Format Tiles
Quite simply, large format tiles are tiles that measure over 600 mm on the longest side. But, you’ll find that the sizes of large format tiles can vary from one brand or style of tile to another.
The benefit of using these tiles is that you’ll need fewer tiles to cover a large area. Using these large tiles also gives you a more clean and uncluttered look because there will be fewer grout lines to distract from the beauty of the tiles themselves.
In Which Spaces Can Large Tiles Be Used?
Large tiles have a multitude of uses and can be utilised as both wall and floor tiles. They look amazing in bathrooms that feature floor-to-ceiling tiling.
But, these tiles look equally as good in the kitchen when they’re used in splashbacks or on countertops. You could use these tiles in your living room as well to create a feature surround for your fireplace.
What Are The General Sizes For Large Format Tiles?
Large format tiles come in a range of different sizes to suit your interior decor such as:
- 800x800 mm
- 800x400 mm
- 900x900 mm
- 900x320 mm
- 1000x1000 mm
- 1200x1200 mm
- 1200x600 mm
- 1500x750 mm
- 1800x900 mm
- 2400x1200 mm
- 3200x1600 mm
As you can see, the sizes of large format tiles can vary quite significantly depending on the type and style of tiles that you’re looking for. We find that the 750x1500mm large format tiles are especially popular with renovators.
Key Benefits Of Large Format Tiles
There are numerous benefits to using large format tiles in your home. These include:
Fewer Grout Lines
As you’ll need fewer grout lines with large format tiles, they will provide a very clean and uncluttered overall look to your walls and floors.
Less Maintenance
With fewer grout lines also comes less maintenance.
Create The Illusion Of Space
Large format tiles are ideal for creating the illusion of space because the expansiveness of the tiles will instantly make the room look larger and more spacious.
A Modern Aesthetic
Thanks to their large size, these tiles can add a modern look to your interiors.
Greater Durability
Because these tiles are thicker than regular-sized tiles, you’ll find that they are much less likely to chip or crack.
What You Need To Consider When Selecting The Right Large Format Tile
When selecting the right large format tile for your next renovation project, make sure that you select tiles that are going to fit the space that you want to use them in without too much cutting.
Remember that these tiles are large and much heavier than regular-sized tiles, so you want to ensure that you’ll have good access to get them into your home.
You should also be aware that installing large format tiles often requires specialised equipment, so make sure the tiler you engage to lay the tiles for you has experience with these tiles.
A Quick Guide For Large Format Tile Installation

- Prepare the surface
- Lay the tiles out to ensure they’ll fit correctly
