Large Format Tile

Create a clean, contemporary look. Perfect for open concept spaces, minimalist designs, and modern interiors, these large tiles reduce grout lines for a sleek, uninterrupted finish. Available in a variety of styles, including large format porcelain, ceramic, and marble look porcelain, they’re ideal for floors, walls, and even countertops.

Why Choose Large Format Tile?

Fewer grout lines mean more than just a cleaner look — they mean less maintenance, easier cleaning, and a surface that reads as one continuous plane rather than a grid of individual tiles. In open-plan living areas, kitchens, and master bathrooms, large format tile creates the kind of seamless, high-end finish that used to require natural stone slabs at a fraction of the cost.

All large format tiles in our collection are rectified — mechanically cut to precise, uniform dimensions — allowing for grout joints as narrow as 1/16" for a near-seamless result. Available in sizes from 18×18 up to 24×48 and beyond, in matte, polished, and lappato finishes across porcelain, ceramic, and stone look styles.

24×24 — the most versatile large format size, works in any room
12×24 — ideal for walls and smaller bathrooms, creates a taller feel when laid vertically
24×48 — the premium choice for open-plan floors and feature walls with maximum visual impact

Large Format Tile Shower

Whether you're designing a luxurious bathroom or upgrading a shower space, large format tiles offer both visual impact and practical benefits, easy maintenance and a more expansive feel.

Large format tile on shower walls eliminates the visual busyness of smaller tile grids and makes enclosed shower spaces feel significantly larger and more open. A single large format tile running floor to ceiling with a minimal grout joint creates a hotel-quality finish that is also one of the easiest shower surfaces to keep clean — fewer grout lines means less grout to seal and maintain.

Pair large format porcelain shower walls with a coordinating mosaic tile on the shower floor for slip resistance and drainage, or with a matching small format tile for a cohesive, layered look.

FAQ

What counts as a "large format" tile?

The tile industry generally defines large format tile as any tile with at least one edge exceeding 15 inches. Common sizes include 18×18, 24×24, 12×24, 24×48, and 32×32. Our collection focuses on the most widely used large format sizes that can be installed with conventional methods and standard thinset.

Is large format tile harder to install than smaller tile?

Yes - large format tile requires more preparation and precision. The subfloor must be extremely flat, typically within 1/8" over 10 feet, because large tiles are more sensitive to subfloor imperfections and more prone to lippage. A back-butter technique applying thinset to both the substrate and the back of the tile ensures adequate coverage. We recommend professional installation for tiles 24×24 and larger.

Can large format tile be used on walls?

Yes, and the effect is stunning - particularly in showers and as feature walls in bathrooms and living rooms. Wall installation requires a structurally solid substrate, a high-quality polymer-modified wall thinset, and often a non-sag thinset specifically formulated for large heavy tiles. Mechanical support such as wedges during installation is also recommended while the adhesive cures.

What are the best large format tile sizes for a small bathroom?

24×24 and 12×24 are the most practical large format sizes for smaller bathrooms. These sizes are large enough to significantly reduce grout lines while remaining manageable to cut and install in tight spaces. A 12×24 tile laid vertically on walls draws the eye upward and makes low-ceiling bathrooms feel taller.

How do I prevent lippage with large format tile?

Lippage prevention starts with a flat substrate - use a self-leveling compound if needed. Apply thinset using the back-butter method with a notched trowel appropriate for the tile size. Lippage leveling systems - clip-and-wedge systems - hold tiles flat relative to each other while the thinset cures. These are inexpensive and make a significant difference in the finished result.
