You can imagine that considering that ceramic tiles have fewer seams, they should be easier to bond and install. But it’s not like that. We know that even transporting these ceramics is complicated due to their large dimensions and sometimes it takes two people to move a single ceramic.

Another point is that the surface under the ceramic tile must be completely smooth, the slightest unevenness becomes a problem in the installation process.
Large size ceramics are not too thick despite their large dimensions. The thickness of these ceramics is usually one centimeter below. The dimensions of large size ceramics are usually 120*120 and 150*150 in square shape and 100*280 and 120*60 and 100*280 and 120*240 and 160*320 in rectangular shape.
