The understanding and definition of tile sizes vary from country to country, depending on market demands, design trends, and building standards. Here are some of the main market understandings and application trends for large-format tiles:
In China, large-format tiles are typically defined as 600x600 millimeters and above, with increasingly popular sizes including 900x900 millimeters, 1200x600 millimeters, 1200x1200 millimeters, and even larger sizes like 1200x2400 millimeters. These larger tiles are widely used in high-end residences, commercial spaces, and public buildings due to their ability to reduce grout lines and achieve better visual effects.
In Europe, large-format tiles generally refer to sizes of 600x600 millimeters and above, especially larger sizes such as 750x1500 millimeters, 1000x1000 millimeters, and 1200x2400 millimeters. These larger tiles are increasingly used in residential and commercial decoration, particularly for flooring and wall applications, due to modern minimalist design trends.
In the United States, large-format tiles are typically 300x600 millimeters and above, with popular sizes including 600x600 millimeters, 600x1200 millimeters, 1200x1200 millimeters, and others. These sizes are commonly used in modern residential, hotel, and commercial projects, emphasizing open and continuous spatial concepts.
In the Middle East, large-format tiles are generally 500x500 millimeters and above, with common sizes including 600x600 millimeters, 800x800 millimeters, 900x900 millimeters, and even larger sizes like 1000x1000 millimeters. These larger tiles are widely used in luxury residences, hotels, shopping malls, and other high-end locations, particularly for their durability and luxurious appeal.
In Australia, large-format tiles mainly refer to sizes of 400x400 millimeters and above, especially sizes like 600x600 millimeters, 800x800 millimeters, and 1200x600 millimeters. These sizes are widely used in both home renovation and commercial decoration, emphasizing practicality and aesthetics.
While specific definitions of "large-format tiles" vary among countries, the universal trend is towards larger tile sizes to meet consumer demands for seamless, modern, and high-end decorative effects. The installation of large-format tiles requires higher technical requirements and better materials to ensure the final appearance and durability.
The low porosity and complex patterns of large-format tiles pose special requirements for tile adhesives and installation techniques. To address this, the introduction of Puyang Yintai's redispersible latex powder base material can enhance the performance of tile adhesives, making them suitable for thin-bed installation processes and capable of handling various types of substrates and tiles. Additionally, this latex powder base material can improve the performance of grout, thereby enhancing the overall quality and reliability of the tiling system.
