Why Vancouver Chooses Us for Large-Format Tile
Big tile only looks “slab clean” when flatness, layout, and finishing are controlled to a higher standard. We manage tolerances, pattern flow, and edges so surfaces read as clean, continuous stone.
Porcelain Panels & Slabs (48×96 / 60×120) — Slab-Look Walls Done Right
If you searched “porcelain slab installers”, you’re likely planning a surface that reads like one continuous stone sheet. We install panels for full-height shower walls, feature walls, fireplace surrounds, and backsplashes—with clean terminations and watertight detailing.
Slab showers & wet areas
Full-height porcelain panels reduce grout lines and simplify cleaning. We integrate membranes, drains, corners, niches and benches so the assembly is built for real-world use.
Feature walls & fireplaces
We plan vein direction, minimize seams, and execute crisp terminations and miters where appropriate—so the surface looks intentional from every angle.

What Is Large Format Tile?
The sizes designers want
Large format typically means tiles over 15″ on any side. Common sizes include 24×48, 30×60 and 48×96+. Fewer seams create uninterrupted flow and make rooms feel larger.
Oversized porcelain reduces grout maintenance—especially in showers, backsplashes, and feature walls.
Performance in coastal BC
Porcelain is dense, stain-resistant, and stable—excellent for humidity and everyday cleaning. In wet areas, waterproofing assemblies help prevent moisture intrusion, while uncoupling and expansion management protect the assembly long-term.
We can sequence panels for vein continuity through corners, miters, and niches so the pattern flows as designed.
