Large-format tile looks seamless when the substrate is flat and the setting is precise. Our 6-person crew brings floors and walls to tight tolerances, controls lippage, and finishes with movement joints and clean profiles—so your space feels solid underfoot and looks crisp from every angle.
Large-format tiles demand precision at every step. Our proven process
ensures flat substrates, zero lippage, and seamless results that showcase the beauty of bigger tiles.
Flatness verification to
large-format
tolerances.
Large-format tiles expose every substrate imperfection. We verify flatness to ANSI standards (1/8″ in 10 feet), apply leveling compounds where needed, and install uncoupling membranes to prevent stress cracks.
Uncoupling and
movement
accommodation.
Large-format installations require proper support systems. We install Schluter Ditra or similar uncoupling membranes to accommodate substrate movement and prevent tile cracking.
Lippage control and
perfect alignment.
Large-format tiles demand precision. We use high-performance mortars with extended open time, clip systems for lippage control, and laser levels for perfect alignment across the entire surface.
Seamless appearance
with high-performance
grout.
Large-format installations feature minimal grout lines. We use high-performance grouts designed for large tiles, ensuring consistent color and preventing shrinkage cracks.
Flatness check and
final inspection.
Final inspection includes lippage measurement, joint consistency verification, and overall flatness check. We provide care instructions specific to large-format installations.

Every tile placed with millimetre precision for stunning, lasting results. Our attention to detail ensures perfect alignment, consistent spacing, andprofessional-grade finishing that stands the test of
time.
Perfect substrate preparation
Consistent spacing & layout
Waterproof protection system
High-rise sway, humidity shifts, and temperature changes demand engineered joints. We plan movement at perimeters, transitions, and penetrations, calculate spacing, and install flexible sealants—so large-format floors and walls stay flat and crack-free.
Movement joints at walls, transitions, and corners.
Detail: We plan perimeter joints for wind loads, seasonal temperature swings, and building movement typical of modern construction.
Minimal grout lines with
strategic expansion points.
Detail: We calculate spacing for seasonal temperature ranges to ensure longevity in any climate.
Flexible sealants that move with the building.
Detail: We specify indoor-rated sealants proven in residential and commercial conditions.
Precise installation with clean,
consistent lines.
Detail: Final execution meets building-code requirements; movement joints and profiles maintain structural integrity and aesthetic perfection.
Even the flattest substrate expands and contracts with temperature and humidity changes — and large-format tiles magnify those movements. Without engineered joints, tension builds behind the surface, leading to cracks, tenting, or grout failure. Our joint design process calculates movement at walls, transitions, and perimeters to protect every installation. Flexible sealants, uncoupling layers, and precision spacing work together to maintain flawless alignment and lasting performance in any environment.

Bigger tiles create bigger problems without proper materials. Our supplier partnerships ensure every large-format installation uses systems designed for size, weight, and movement.
Large-format tile (one side ≥ 15 in / ~380 mm) delivers calm lines and fewer joints—but it demands stricter prep, smarter layouts, and precise setting to achieve zero lippage.
Costs vary by five drivers:
Substrate flatness: big tiles need ≤ 3 mm over 1 m; grinding/levelling adds time and material.
Tile size & handling: 24×48, 32×32, 48×48 require staging, two-person carries, clip systems.
Layout complexity: centring on focal points, avoiding slivers, drain alignment, threshold transitions.
Movement details: perimeters, transitions, penetrations, and plane changes finished in silicone, not grout.
Products: extended-open-time mortars, full-coverage back-buttering, colour-matched 2 mm joints.
Use the Tile installation Cost Calculator for a fast range; we confirm scope after a site assessment.
We laser-check floors and walls, mark highs/lows, and correct with grinding, patching, or self-levelling. Moisture tests, priming, and crack isolation are applied where required. Flat, clean, dry, and sound substrates prevent hollow spots and stop lippage before it starts.
We design layouts that maximise impact and minimise cuts:
Align long sightlines and centre courses on room focal points.
Keep joints straight and avoid slivers at edges and thresholds.
Match formats to rooms: stacked 24×48 planks, true-grid 32×32 squares, minimal-joint 48×48 slabs.
Set linear drains flush and parallel with the tile course for a seamless wet-area look.
Directional trowelling and full back-buttering for bond strength.
Levelling clips to maintain plane during cure and deliver zero lippage.
Movement joints at perimeters and changes of plane; neatly tooled silicone.
Slim metal profiles or 45° mitres at exposed edges.
Heated floors: suitable uncoupling and mortar selection matched to radiant systems.
Large-format installations require minimal maintenance when properly installed. Fewer grout joints mean reduced cleaning requirements, while proper substrate preparation prevents tile movement and cracking. During handover, we demonstrate appropriate cleaning techniques that maintain the seamless large-format aesthetic without damaging surface finishes.
With fewer joints, large-format surfaces are easier to clean. Use pH-neutral cleaners and soft pads. Movement detailing handles seasonal expansion/contraction, protecting grout and corners. We include a simple care sheet at handover and a lifetime workmanship warranty.
Big tiles amplify small mistakes—so our 6-person crew specialises in the details that matter: substrate correction to tight tolerances, lippage-control systems, directional trowelling, and engineered movement joints. Exposed edges get slim profiles or 45° mitres; plane changes are finished in silicone. In wet areas we’re experienced with Schluter® systems(KERDI/DITRA/DITRA-HEAT). Every project includes pre-installation assessment, coordinated scheduling, full site protection, and clear handover documentation. The outcome: zero lippage, crisp 2 mm joints, and a seamless surface that stays flat and beautiful for years.
