Why are large-format tiles favored for grand-scale projects?
Vietceramics' exclusive imported large-format products all meet three criteria: impressive dimensions, unique aesthetics, and high versatility. These collections offer numerous benefits to living spaces, opening up possibilities to realize the most spectacular projects.
1. Showcasing vein designs:
The expansive dimensions allow large-format tiles to fully exhibit the vein designs without interruption. Modern manufacturing technology enhances depth and ensures the sharpness of the veins, defining the style and the charm of the space.
2. Seamless spatial connectivity:
Thanks to their substantial size, large-format tiles significantly reduce the appearance of grout lines within a tiled area, thereby minimizing fragmentation and increasing continuity. This allows the tiled surface to simulate a monolithic natural stone slab, elevating the aesthetic appeal.
3. Spectacular veining effects:
The continuity between large slabs creates captivating veining effects such as Bookmatch (symmetrical) and Endless (continuous) veining. These effects faithfully recreate natural stone patterns, achieving an impressive level of authenticity and enhancing the space's connection with nature. Furthermore, these veins help expand, elongate, heighten, or deepen the perception of the space.
4. Versatile applicability:
Large-format tiles offer diverse applications. Beyond wall cladding and flooring, these slabs can be used as furniture such as doors, kitchen islands, stairs, etc., creating consistency thoroughly and serving as unique focal points – something standard sizes often struggle to achieve.
5. Integration of comfort and safety technologies:
Vietceramics’s large-format collections imported directly from Italy and Spain are equipped with advanced surface technologies that enhance both function and aesthetics, such as Sensitech (Ultra-smooth anti-slip technology), Velvetech (Smooth and silky surface technology), Krystal (High-gloss, anti-scratch surface technology). These anti-slip technologies meet the international DIN51130 standard and are 99.9% effective against bacteria, bringing better health benefits.
Additionally, with fewer grout lines, these tiles limit the risk of dirt accumulation in joints, which can be unsightly. The cleaning procedure is similar to that of regular tiles, offering convenience to users.
With these superior advantages, large-format tiles are truly the perfect choice for monumental projects, from luxurious villas and high-end apartments to hotels and commercial centers.
