From preparation to finished surface

The photos show a bright living area with sliding glass doors, windows and a ceiling fan, covered in large polished porcelain tile with a white body and bold gray veining. Some views were taken during installation, with leveling clips still in the joints and along the edges. Others show the finished floor with furniture back in the room.

Large-format tile on a big open floor depends on a flat substrate, full mortar coverage and a layout that keeps cut pieces balanced at walls, doorways and transitions. Leveling clips help keep tile edges in plane while the mortar cures, which matters on glossy tile where any lippage catches the light. Movement joints, transitions and substrate conditions are worked out for each project.

Installation details to note

  1. Large square-format porcelain with a polished finish covers the open floor.
  2. The gray veining runs across the joints, so tile placement was planned for a continuous look.
  3. Leveling clips are visible in the progress photos, keeping tile edges flush.
  4. The tile runs through the room to sliding glass doors, windows and an adjoining kitchen counter.
