Common questions

Do large tiles suit small rooms?

Yes, often, fewer grout lines make a small room read as one surface.

Are cuts a problem?

They need planning so no narrow slivers land in a visible position.

Not ready to book, just weighing it up?

That is fine, questions at the thinking stage are the cheapest ones to ask, and they usually save a change of mind later.
