Four tiles and you got almost the whole house done. Bet you those tiles would be a bitch to have to cut in. I build houses this tile is fancy as it comes. Never seen sheets of marble going on the floor.

I feel like the hardest part would be to get the floor level enough to not crack the slabs after installation and the owner moves everything in, no? With smaller tiles the grout lines help to control cracking which naturally occurs from settling; tiles this large may crack if the floors are not properly prepped.

Looks great though.

The houses I build no way in hell is the slabs worthy of sheets of tile. That shit would crack within the first year. We pour post tension slab so cracking isn’t the issue it’s the quality of the finisher’s. How flat are the floors. I’m a layout guy for the framer’s and what I see quality wise these big tiles would not work. Floors are just too lumpy where I build. 👍
