Wall and Floor Tile Installation
Large-format tile demands its own craft — double-sided adhesion, a levelling system, and laser-aligned joints that leave no hollow spots.
- Large Format 60x120 & 120x120 Tiles
- 45° Mitered Edge Wet Cutting
- Adhesive Coverage Checked for Tile Format and Area
- Contractual Workmanship Warranty
With large-format porcelain now standard, tiling has become its own specialism: slabs of 120×60 and above demand double-sided adhesive coverage (buttering-floating), because a hollow tile cracks under load. At EMC Decor every tile is bedded to full contact with a notched trowel, lippage is prevented with a levelling system, and joints are laser-aligned.
In wet areas, tiling always goes over waterproofing with drain slopes preserved. Grout options include stain-proof epoxy for bathrooms and kitchen splashbacks. We work demolition-included and report the substrate's screed and bonding condition at the survey.
Why EMC Decor
Large Format Mastery: Specialist handling for 60x120 & 120x120 cm slabs.
Zero Lippage: Locked levelling systems ensure smooth floor transitions.
Clean 45° Miters: Water-cooled miter cuts eliminate ugly plastic trims.
Legal Security: Contractual workmanship guarantee & manufacturer material warranties.
The Challenges You Face, Our Fix
RISK 01: Hollow voids beneath tiles causing cracking under foot
SOLUTION: Where the tile format and installation area require it, adhesive is applied to both substrate and tile back, and coverage is checked during installation.
RISK 02: Lippage and uneven edges between adjacent tiles
SOLUTION: We lock all tiles using heavy-duty Tile Levelling Systems (TLS) guided by 3D cross-line lasers.
RISK 03: Blackening, crumbling, and water leaks through grout
SOLUTION: We apply stain-proof and completely waterproof epoxy grout in wet areas and kitchen backsplashes.

Is laying large-format 60x120 cm tiles more difficult?
Yes. Large slabs require a compatible flexible adhesive, appropriate double-buttering and levelling clips to achieve high adhesive coverage and reduce voids and breakage risk.
Do you use plastic edge trims or 45-degree miter cuts?
As standard, all outer corners are mitered at 45 degrees using a wet diamond tile saw. We do not fit cheap plastic trims.
What is the difference between epoxy grout and standard cement grout?
Epoxy grout has lower water absorption and stronger stain resistance than standard cement grout. Performance still depends on correct preparation, installation and cleaning.
