The big-slab look, without the compromises.

Large format porcelain has become the tile most Leicester customers ask for when they want a seamless, open feel, fewer grout lines read as one continuous surface rather than a grid of tiles. We stock an ample range of large porcelain slabs across both showrooms, in polished and matt finishes.

Sizes run from 750x750mm right up to full 3000x3000mm slabs, with grout joints as tight as 1mm on suitable installations. Our team will walk you through sizes, finishes and what your floor needs to take them.

Definition

What counts as large format

Generally anything from 750x750mm upward. We stock sizes right up to full 3000x3000mm slabs.

Substrate

Flatness matters

The larger the tile, the flatter the substrate needs to be to avoid lippage. Preparation is key.

Joints

Minimal grout

Grout joints as tight as 1mm give a near-seamless, one-piece appearance across the floor.

Fitting

Handling & installation

Larger slabs need careful handling and the right tools. Professional installation is strongly advisable at the bigger sizes.

Expert Advice
“Large format lives or dies on the substrate, get the floor flat and the result is stunning, near seamless. Skip the preparation and you get lippage on every edge. If you are going big, budget for getting the floor flat first; it is the part that makes the difference.”
