To have delusions of grandeur !
There are few reserved for living rooms alone, large, even very large, tiles are making their way into kitchens and bedrooms. Design and chic, they offer volume and create an impression of space. Square or rectangular, they adapt to all interior fittings. If their dimensions can go up to 150 cm x 150 cm, or 150 cm x 300 cm, their thickness, conversely, becomes more and more fine, showing 6 small millimeters.
What is the advantage of these XXL tiles ? They limit the number of joints, 2 mm joints, the same color as the tiles. So almost total discretion for a practically smooth surface.
