Benefits of Large Format Tiles

Large format tiles are easy to clean and create far fewer grout lines to worry about cleaning than traditional sized or mosaic tiles. Cleanliness isn’t the only reason why large format tiles are so popular, though! Larger tile can create a greater sense of spaciousness and continuity in small and large bathrooms alike, and are the ideal choice for modern and contemporary styles.

Don’t limit your love of wood to the floors! This Japanese-inspired Kasai Carta Sakura 10x60 Rectified Porcelain Tile boasts an elegant floral pattern that looks great on walls and floors alike!

Wood floors are always a hot trend in home design, and not limited to the bathroom. The primary issue with designing a rustic wood bathroom? How easily hardwood and shiplap can get damaged by water! Since wood look tiles give you all the benefits of tile with the look of wood, you get the best of both worlds: beautiful flooring and wall designs that’s also way easier to maintain than traditional wood. It’s a win-win!
