Begin by accurately measuring the space. The old saying <strong>\u201cmeasure twice, cut once\u201d<\/strong> is vital here; errors are costly when working with expensive, oversized tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rooms are rarely perfect squares with 90-degree angles. Start by finding the midpoint of your space and <strong>dry-laying tiles <\/strong>outward. Then assess: do you want a full tile in the centre, or should the grout line fall in the middle? <strong>Play around to avoid awkward, thin edge cuts<\/strong>. Even a slight miscalculation can throw off the entire layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What separates professionals from DIYers is the time spent at this planning stage. <strong>It\u2019s worth the effort.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Prepare the Substrate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Large tiles magnify imperfections, so <strong>your substrate must be clean<\/strong>, flat, dry, and structurally sound. Think of it like the classic \u201cprincess and the pea\u201d story. <strong>Any bump or dip will be glaringly obvious <\/strong>because tiles don\u2019t flex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure how to prep the substrate, check out our previous blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/subfloor-for-tile-installation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a> dedicated to this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Precision Tools for Precision Cuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s expensive to install large format tiles<\/strong>, so mistakes hit harder. You\u2019ll need high-quality tools for accurate, clean cuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/17924_a_01-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Install large format tiles\" class=\"wp-image-86851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/17924_a_01-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/17924_a_01-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/17924_a_01-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/17924_a_01-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/17924_a_01.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>TZ 1800<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>RUBI<\/strong>, we\u2019ve developed a full range specifically for large format tiles, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Slim Cutter G2<\/strong> and <strong>Slab Cutter G3<\/strong>: precision tools for delicate, oversized tiles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>TZ-1800<\/strong>: a powerful manual cutter large enough to handle large format tiles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/product\/tc-125-g2-circular-saw-kit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TC-125 G2<\/a><\/strong>: a circular track saw designed for wet or dry cutting with mitre capability, running on Slim Cutter G2 rails.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Mitre cuts are a game-changer for edge alignment and seamless finishes, especially for high-end jobs.
