From ceramic tile to terra cotta, there are many flooring options available. When making your bathroom selection, don’t fixate on the material, and instead, consider the tile’s size. Here are a few reasons why you should consider large slabs for your bathroom.

3 Benefits of Large Tile Flooring

1. Doesn’t Require Extensive Maintenance

Unlike their smaller counterparts, larger tiles use less grout, minimizing the maintenance to keep them clean—simply sweep and mop weekly. It’s also easy to get rid of water on floors with large tiles because there are fewer joints. Accumulated water can damage your floors because mold and mildew can form in the crevices. This flooring is ideal for busy families that don’t have time to clean and people who experience difficulty bending down to scrub.

2. Withstands Everyday Wear

Large slabs are durable because they don’t have as many vulnerable areas, which is where multiple tiles intersect. Since the bathroom is a frequently used room, foot traffic and wear and tear can cause these edges to lift. Several small, uneven tiles can be a tripping hazard to your family, especially if the floor is wet.

3. Creates the Illusion of Space

Large tile slabs can make bathrooms feel more spacious because they don’t feature the busyness of smaller tiles. To take advantage of this design trick, select a flooring material that has small or minimal markings, like ceramic tile. You can also opt for granite as it has sparkling flecks that can bounce light, further creating the illusion of extra square footage.
