Large-format tiles for the home: benefits and tips
12 October 2022
But what are the main qualities of Atlas Concorde large-format porcelain tiles?
First of all, large format slabs stand out for their immense esthetic and graphic impact both on the floor and on the wall. Regardless of the effect or pattern, large-format porcelain tiles ensure a uniform rendering of the look and texture, resulting in a perfect perception of visual continuity across the surface. Large formats offer many effects and finishes of different inspiration that respond to a broad variety of needs and preferences.
In addition to esthetics, large-format slabs offer technical and functional benefits. In fact, porcelain tiles are one of the healthiest materials: they are hypoallergenic and free of toxic organic substances. The surface is compact and virtually free of pores, characteristics that ensure resistance against mites, bacteria, fungi, and molds. Porcelain tiles are also impervious to liquids (such as oil, wine, coffee and many others), easy to maintain, and can also be used in an array of indoor and outdoor settings.
XL-size tiles for the home
Large-format tiles are trendy solutions for residential kitchens, bathrooms and outdoors: indeed, large-format porcelain tiles are the solution that combines the style of contemporary design with the practicality of performance.
The graphics are certainly one of the strong points of these products. The large dimensions ensure a visual continuity that allows the largest, most spacious and brightest spaces to stand out. Versatility also transforms them into solutions capable of overcoming the rigid distinction between architecture and interior design, becoming kitchen counters, table tops, and much more.
The large slabs also ensure fundamental practical aspects: they greatly reduce the amount of joints on the surface and therefore allow greater visual continuity both on the floor and on the wall, both indoors and out. The ceramic material is hygienic, durable, environmentally sustainable and easy to clean. The minimum thicknesses make installation easy and the products more manageable thanks to a lighter weight.
The compositional proposals are designed to satisfy a variety of tastes: Atlas Concorde offers a wide range of colors, looks, motifs, and decorative options.
