One slab where a wall used to take two hundred tiles. Fewer seams, far less grout to scrub, and a surface built for Florida humidity. Most installs are finished in as little as 48 hours.
Standard shower tile runs four to six inches a piece. On a 36 by 84 inch wall that is close to two hundred pieces, and every edge between them is a grout line waiting to discolor. A single 24 by 48 slab covers the same wall in three.
Less porous than ceramic, so it resists Florida humidity.
Substrate floated flat first. Lippage is what ruins large format.
Florida humidity is hard on bathrooms, and grout is one of the first things to show it, discoloring or growing mildew even with regular cleaning. Cutting the amount of grout dramatically means less surface area for that to start on in the first place.
Fewer grout lines means less scrubbing and less mold to fight.
No fading or wear that cheaper tile shows after a few years.
Spread the cost of the remodel instead of paying for the whole bathroom up front.
Every installation is backed for as long as you own the home.

One bathroom out of action for a weekend, not a month. The exact sequence shifts with whatever is found behind the old surround.
The old surround, the pan and any rotten backer come out to the studs.
Large format is unforgiving. The substrate gets shimmed and floated until a straightedge finds nothing.
Membrane goes on before a single slab. Then the porcelain, back-buttered, with lippage tuning clips.
Frameless door hung, seams sealed, silicone tooled, and the bathroom is back in use.
No stock photography and no renders. Every shower below is ours.

The questions Tampa homeowners ask us most before booking a large-format porcelain install.
It can cost more per square foot than small ceramic tile, but the lower maintenance and longer lifespan often make up the difference over time. We can walk you through real numbers for your specific bathroom during a free estimate.
Not when it is installed correctly. Cracking issues with large format tile almost always trace back to an uneven wall surface or a rushed installation, not the material itself.
Most of our remodels are completed in as little as 48 hours, including large format porcelain installations, though the exact timeline depends on the scope of the project.
Both. It works well in walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, and standard shower enclosures alike.
It is actually easier. Fewer grout lines means less scrubbing and less mold to fight, which is one of the main reasons homeowners switch to it.
