Large marble effect wall tiles

8 years ago

I have seen some lovely marble wall tiles for my new bathroom. They are fairly heavy, have about 10-12mm thickness and are 120cm x 60cm. Would these be suitable to hang on the wall. Or would they be too large and heavy. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Naomi

Hi Naomi

Once your fitter is experienced in installing large format tiles using the correct adhesives, these tiles should be fine. It is generally not recommended to install large heavy tiles on ceilings. Best of luck.

agree with comment above - call Cosentino and they can direct you either to a local kitchen showroom with worktop installed in a colour you are considering or they can tell you where you can view the slabs. i live in Ireland and visited the Cosentino warehouse in Dublin to view slabs - it certainly affected our decision making. we went for lagoon and its great - no problem with staining

Hi Vandana, although we agree with some points Minipie mentioned, but we think glossy marble in the house is just beautiful. Concerns that it feels cold can easily be solved by installing underfloor heating. And the fact that is glossy, we agree it can be slippery, but in the living room we presume you will have a nice big rug to make it cozy and non-slippery, but in the kitchen, that glossy finish will make it much easier to clean the floor.

The floor person does have a point I guess, in old houses the walls are never straight due to movement and in the new extension the walls might not be straight due to the person doing the dot and dab not making the walls straight despite the actual brick walls being straight! Look forward to seeing the end result, it’s a lovely huge space!

Many thanks for your comments but not not quite. I am new to stone effect porcelain so I am not describing it well. I found yesterday that it is known to bookmatch marble slabs to create an amazing marble mural and that there is a porcelain marble effect equivalent for example https://www.porcelain-tiles.co.uk/range/bookmatched/. It looks amazing but there is still a replicating pattern because it is "bookmatching". I am wondering if an artist / manufacturer has taken this a step further and created a large mural image requiring a large number of tiles to replicate a whole slice through a mountain of marble ... so the marble mural would be continuous not broken by the tiles and 100 tiles would be unique. And my question initially was about stone rather than marble so that the uniqueness is subtle .. but marble would be nice too.

I am sure there is not much need for this advice.....it is also important the 'base' where the tiles are going to be fitted is adequate for those tiles, so don't use simple plaster boards please but hardiebaker cement boards, they are stronger boards and should be fine for the tiles you have in mind.

there are also thinner wall tiles like those......but still very large format ( they are only 6mm in thickness)
