Any decision-making process you instigate goes through a number of stages. Say you choose tiles – that means you have already dismissed alternatives like carpeting, laminate flooring, vinyl or linoleum.
But that initial decision only takes you through to the next level. What to go for now? Which tile is right for my space? What size of tile do I need?
It’s enough to get the mind whirring, that’s for sure. The Stone Tile Company blog is packed full of information to help you make this kind of decision. But not many of them focus on the size of tile.
One type of tile at the higher end of the spectrum is XXL tiles. Big by name and nature, XXL tiles are a great investment in certain scenarios in the home. They are also good options for outdoor spaces, so we wanted to dedicate some time to celebrate all things XXL in the tiling world.
The Beauty of XXL Tiles
XXL tiles have really come into fashion in recent times, with this trend starting to take off in a number of contexts. The trend for open-plan living has really driven the use of larger tiles, as you want to create a sense of space, and larger tiles with less grout lines are the perfect choice.
Given the size of these tiles, their visual and aesthetic effect differs significantly from smaller tiling. The busyness and vibrancy of smaller tiles is replaced by the smooth and sophisticated effects of XXL tiles.
More homeowners are also taking a leaf out of the hotelier’s design book and creating a spa-like sanctuary, this sense of luxury and space allows for larger tiles to be used floor to ceiling.
The larger tile provides fewer interruptions to the overall surface. So, if smoothness and continuity of design is a priority of yours, XXL tiles fit the bill. And what’s more, this effect makes a room seem bigger. The general lack of interruption offered by XXL tiles can help provide a feeling of expansiveness and make a medium-sized room feel that bit larger.
And interestingly, bigger tiles are typically easier to lay than small tiles. With less grouting required, installation can be a relatively smooth and simple process with XXL tiles.
