In the dynamic world of interior design and architecture, trends come and go, but one trend that has firmly established itself as a game-changer is the use of large-format porcelain slabs. Ceramic Décor is now officially in the large porcelain slab business, and we thought it would be helpful to our customers (and to whoever else might be curious and renovating) to provide some insights and tips on one of the design and building industry’s fastest growing trends.

Why Large Porcelain Slabs?

Now more than ever, the seamless “slab look” has become one of the single most popular design trends, making it a top choice for showers, fireplaces, and various wall applications. The vast array of designs and colours, combined with the sheer size and scale of these porcelain slabs, contributes to their undeniable appeal. We consider large porcelain slabs as anything exceeding the standard 2' x 4' tile size. "Slabs" range from 5' x 8' to 5' x 10' in height, offering a unique aesthetic advantage.

Benefits of Porcelain Slabs

The primary benefit of large porcelain slabs lies in their size. With a seam-free appearance, these slabs create a visually striking and extremely sophisticated look. 

Considerations Before Choosing Porcelain Slabs

At Ceramic Decor, we like to be honest and transparent with our customers. We would like to stress that there are certainly some considerations to make when it comes to choosing porcelain slabs.

The installation of these slabs requires specialized tools and expertise, making it a much different process from regular tile installation. Installers must be equipped to handle the size and weight of the slabs, and be well-versed in the unique installation techniques associated with larger formats. We recommend engaging in a conversation with your contractor or installer before purchasing porcelain slabs. Our team can even recommend experienced contractors who are equipped to handle the installation of these impressive slabs.
