Porcelain has been rapidly increasing in popularity as technology continues to improve. As it is man-made, it is usually more lightweight than traditional stone, yet equally as hard-wearing.<\/p>\n<p>Porcelain tiles are one of the less porous flooring materials, meaning that they don\u2019t always need to be sealed. This makes fitting them much easier and they won\u2019t need to be re-sealed in years to come \u2013 making maintenance a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>They are also easy to keep clean &#8211; stains can be mopped up easily using a pH neutral cleaner. And, they are also known to be resistant to fading helping to maintain their colour years down the line.<\/p>\n<p>Porcelain also has a unique contemporary look which wonderfully compliments large-format tiles. Helping to create a futuristic space with effortless upkeep.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Studio-Session-012-3-Edit.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/mastering-the-modern-flair-large-format-porcelain-tiles\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Studio-Session-012-3-Edit.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/mastering-the-modern-flair-large-format-porcelain-tiles\/&text=Mastering the Modern Flair: Large Format Porcelain Tiles\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/mastering-the-modern-flair-large-format-porcelain-tiles\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Studio-Session-012-3-Edit.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Castile Vein Cut Porcelain<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Do I need a Bigger Space for Large Format Tiles? <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A common pre-conception is that large tiles are only suited to larger areas. However, this is not entirely true. Due to the lack of grout lines, the floor will look less busy and give the illusion of a bigger space. These tiles have the potential to create a calmer, more expansive feel to a smaller room.<\/p>\n<p>These tiles are ideal for bigger areas too. If you\u2019re looking for a way to make an open plan space look straight from a design magazine, large format tiles can give a substantial space a feeling of true grandeur.<\/p>\n<p>Our new collection of large format porcelain tiles have a range of finishes, from polished to matt to slightly textured. Therefore, these tiles are a simple solution for a kitchen, bathroom or hallway in desperate need of a splash of sophistication.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/DSC_0315-Edit.jpg\"><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/mastering-the-modern-flair-large-format-porcelain-tiles\/?img=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/DSC_0315-Edit.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/mastering-the-modern-flair-large-format-porcelain-tiles\/&text=Mastering the Modern Flair: Large Format Porcelain Tiles\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/mastering-the-modern-flair-large-format-porcelain-tiles\/&media=https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/DSC_0315-Edit.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.floorsofstone.com\/our-tile-range\/porcelain-tiles\/damasse-porcelain-0\"><em>Damass\u00e9 Porcelain<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you have been inspired by this article, our collection of large format porcelains are now live on our website and you can order samples\u00a0here.
