Another Dimension: the 120×278 Format

Large size porcelain tiles are a growing trend, and we’re not just talking about 60×120, 80×80 or 80×160. Extra large sizes are a highly popular choice available on Italon’s catalogue.

 

The new 120×278 size explores innovative applications of porcelain stoneware in diverse architectural contexts. Its 6 mm thickness is ideal for both walls and extravagant solutions: nowadays, specifically, kitchen countertops, as well as bathroom and bar countertops are increasingly popular items manufactured in porcelain stoneware.

 

It is also worth mentioning that the 120×278 format with 6 mm thickness is particularly fit for outdoor applications on building facades. Large size porcelain tiles allow for the reproduction of extremely realistic textures inspired by a wide range of materials. This is why porcelain stoneware is often used as a decorative element in living rooms and bedrooms, often as a replacement for wallpaper.

Moreover, the installation of large size tiles helps achieve a monolithic covering effect. When decorating a shower wall, for example, three 120×278 tiles are going to be sufficient, achieving a much greater result than compared to traditional size ceramic tiles.

Currently, Italon offers the 120×278, 6 mm format in 12 colors, including 9 shades of marble effect with Lux finish and 3 concrete effect products in 3 colors with natural finish.

 

 

The majestic size of porcelain tiles with shiny finish highlights the beauty of marble effect, while natural finish enhances the concrete effect. Indoor and outdoor environments with Italon’s extra large porcelain tiles achieve a modern, contemporary look that lasts in time.
