Installation
Large tiles need a flatter base
Bigger tiles show lippage and hollow spots more easily. Base preparation, adhesive type, and laying technique matter more than the tile itself.
Note: guidance is general. On-site conditions can change the right choice. Use this as a checklist, not a substitute for an engineer/contractor.
What to ask
- •Ask your installer about substrate flatness checks before laying.
- •Confirm adhesive type and laying method for large formats.
Red flags
- !Installer says “same method for all tiles” for very large sizes.
