Large Format Tiles

They're Not Just for Floors Anymore!!

Shower walls, tub surrounds, countertops and fireplace surrounds are all applications that are appropriate for large format (16x16 and larger) ceramic tiles!

              The larger tiles provide our clients more of what they are buying -- ceramic tile -- and less of what they generally don't want -- grout and caulk!

              In many instances the quality of the tiles allow us to set them as close as 1/16" apart. With grout joints that size, our clients are getting more than a full measure of ceramic tile with all the ease of maintenance and style benefits, rather than the maintenance concerns and distractions that grout can cause.

              Many of our shower and tub surrounds have less than 1% grout in them versus the 5-10% that would be in the same area using traditional sizes.

We often, even in very small bathrooms, utilize the same large format tile on the floor and walls (in one recent instance we used the same large tile on the floor, tub steps and deck and walls up 14 feet!). The large format tile gives a very elegant marble and or stone like appearance at a fraction of the cost of marble or stone. The long term value for our clients is also increased as we have dramatically reduced the potential for scratching and or staining of the floors or walls that is a real concern should marble or stone be used in the application.
