Large Format Tiles in Leicester
Porcelain slabs from 750x750mm up to 3000x3000mm, with grout joints as tight as 1mm for a near-seamless floor. Polished and matt finishes on display at both Leicester showrooms.
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.

Getting large format right
What counts as large format
Generally anything from 750x750mm upward. We stock sizes right up to full 3000x3000mm slabs.
Flatness matters
The larger the tile, the flatter the substrate needs to be to avoid lippage. Preparation is key.
Minimal grout
Grout joints as tight as 1mm give a near-seamless, one-piece appearance across the floor.
Handling & installation
Larger slabs need careful handling and the right tools. Professional installation is strongly advisable at the bigger sizes.

Estimate your coverage
An estimate only. Large format needs fewer tiles but careful setting out; bring your room dimensions and we will confirm quantities and preparation.
“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.”
