What is 24x48 tile best for?
A 24x48 tile covers 8 square feet, so a room needs few pieces and the grout lines are far apart. In a living room or kitchen the floor reads as one continuous surface, and on a shower wall a few large panels replace dozens of small tiles. The size suits modern and minimal interiors, open plan rooms and tall walls.
Which 24x48 porcelain tiles look like marble, stone or concrete?
Marble looks are the largest group of 24x48 marble look tile, with white Calacatta, Carrara and Statuario styles in the Eden, Kaya, Regallo and Charme lines and darker Marquina Noir. Exotika adds polished exotic stone looks in white, beige, blue, green and black, such as Lux Iceberg, Oceano, Verde Vivo and Soho Noir. Limestone looks include Mood, Girona, Chateau and Traktion Maven, travertine looks include Trail in cross cut and vein cut, and concrete looks include Made.in and New York. Essence Montauk brings a slate look, Infinity and Journey a stone look, and Landmark's Contract range, Seattle, Berlin, Brooklyn and Charleston, plain porcelain faces on an 8 mm body. More marble styles are in marble look tiles and concrete look tiles.
Matte, polished or lappato?
Most 24x48 tiles here have a matte finish, which gives a soft, natural surface for floors. Polished 24x48 porcelain, such as the Exotika, Eden, Kaya and Regallo marble looks, has a glossy face that reflects light and makes marble veining look deep and rich. Lappato, a semi-polished finish, gives a low sheen on the Girona, Chateau and Elbe tiles. Eden, Kaya, Regallo and Sande come in both matte and polished, and these MSI marble looks are listed for interior floors.
Is 24x48 shower tile a good choice?
24x48 shower tile is a popular choice for walls because a few large panels cover a whole shower, and many 24x48 porcelain tiles here are listed for shower walls. Lines listed for shower walls include the Mood limestone looks, Trail travertine looks, Charme marble looks, Explore quartz looks, Essence Montauk slate looks, Infinity and Journey stone looks, the New York and Made.in concrete looks, and the Contract range of Charleston, Seattle, Berlin and Brooklyn. The product listing for each tile shows where it is listed for use, and smaller tile for the shower floor is in shower floor tiles.
24x48 tiles for floors
Nearly every 24x48 tile here is listed for interior floors, from kitchens and living rooms to bathrooms. A 24x48 floor tile laid across an open plan room keeps the floor quiet and lets furniture and walls stand out. Light marble and limestone looks such as Kaya Carrara Bianco, Eden Statuary, Mood Frost and Trail Cross Cut Ivory brighten a room, beiges such as Sande Cream and Mood Sand warm it, and concrete looks such as Made.in and New York suit lofts and modern kitchens.
Patterned and textured 24x48 tiles
Not every large format tile is plain. Deco XL from Landmark Ceramics prints large botanical patterns, Autumn Leaf, Blue Peony, Green Ginkgo, Red Lily and Sketch Jungle, onto 24x48 porcelain for a feature wall or a statement floor. The Ridge tiles, Avorio Ridge, Lablanca Ridge and Livingstyle Beige and Cream Ridge, have a ribbed, linear surface for walls, a large format alternative to fluted tile.
Which 24x48 tiles come in black?
24x48 black tile comes in marble, slate and solid looks. Black options include Regallo Marquina Noir in matte and polished, Exotika Soho Noir, Regallo Midnight Agate, Durban Anthracite in matte and polished, Elbe Obsidian lappato, Architecta Graphite, Seattle Black and Essence Montauk Black slate look. Seattle Black and Montauk Black are also listed for shower walls, for a dark, dramatic shower, and a black large format floor gives a bold, modern room.
Is 24x48 the right size for the room?
A 24x48 tile suits large, open rooms and tall walls, where its size shows and the room has few corners to cut around. A smaller large format rectangle such as 12x24 tile is easier to fit into a small bathroom, a hallway or a room with many doorways, and it comes in a much wider range of looks and colors. Many lines, such as Mood, Trail and Kaya, are made in both sizes.
How thick is a 24x48 tile?
Landmark Ceramics 24x48 tiles are 9 mm, or 8 mm in the Contract range. Most MSI 24x48 tiles are 0.32 to 0.41 inch, with a few thinner at 0.27 inch and a few Dimensions tiles at 0.50 inch.
