Large-format porcelain tile installation in Dubai – professional services for laying tiles ranging from 120x120 cm to 160x320 cm on floors and walls. We work with porcelain tiles of any complexity: glossy, matte, polished, structured, marble-look and natural stone-look. For owners of private villas, apartments and commercial properties in the UAE who value quality, aesthetics and durability.
Advantages of large-format porcelain tiles
Large-format porcelain tiles allow large surfaces to be laid with a minimum number of joints, creating a visually seamless surface. This is especially important in rooms with panoramic glazing, where tile joints disrupt the visual integrity. Porcelain tile is resistant to temperature changes, high humidity and mechanical loads, making it ideal for Dubai's climate and high-traffic areas. We select a grout colour to match the tiles, virtually eliminating the visibility of joints. We use two-component epoxy grouts, resistant to mould and temperature fluctuations, which is especially important for bathrooms and kitchens. The cost of installation varies from 80 to 250 AED per m² depending on the size and complexity.
Features of large-format porcelain tile installation
Working with large-format porcelain tiles requires the use of special equipment: powerful tile cutters with water cooling, tile levelling systems (TLS) and vacuum suction cups for carrying. Before laying, the base is checked for differences of up to 3 mm, priming and waterproofing are carried out. The adhesive is applied with a notched trowel with a tooth size of 10-12 mm, and the tile is pressed using a rubber mallet and a level. High-quality base preparation is the key to durability, so we always check the screed and, if necessary, level it using self-levelling compounds. In the hot climate of the UAE, the adhesive for porcelain tiles must be special (class C2 with high adhesion), with an extended open working time.
Stages of large-format porcelain tile installation
Base preparation – checking for evenness, priming, waterproofing, levelling. Tile layout – dry layout taking into account the pattern and lighting. Adhesive application – using special adhesive compounds for large formats. Tile installation – mounting using levelling systems and a level. Grouting – selecting a grout to match the tile, using two-component epoxy compounds. Final treatment – surface cleaning, protection and polishing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is large-format porcelain tile better than ordinary tiles?
Large-format porcelain tiles (from 120x120 cm) visually expand the space, create a seamless effect and look more expensive and modern. Fewer joints make maintenance easier and make the surface more hygienic.
Which adhesive should be used for large-format porcelain tiles?
For large-format porcelain tiles, special C2 class adhesives with high adhesion (at least 1.5 MPa) and extended open working time are used, adapted for the hot climate of the UAE. We recommend using Mapei, Litokol or Weber adhesives.
What is the minimum adhesive layer thickness?
For large formats, an adhesive layer of at least 10-12 mm is required to ensure reliable adhesion and compensate for irregularities in the base.
