Large-Format Living Room Floor in North Aurora

About This Project

This living room floor in a North Aurora home used large-format cream stone-look porcelain tiles in a straight stack pattern. The tiles are 24x48 format, which creates a clean, expansive look in an open-plan space but requires careful handling and back-buttering to achieve the 95% coverage standard on large-format tile. The slab subfloor in this North Aurora home was in good condition but had a few minor high spots that were ground down before tiling began.

The layout was planned to center the tile pattern on the main living area, with equal cut tiles at opposite walls. Leveling clips were used throughout to keep the large-format tiles flush across joints, which is critical when the tiles are this size. The grout is a warm light gray that complements the cream tile without disappearing into it. Expansion joints were placed at the perimeter walls and at the transition to the adjacent hallway flooring.
