What should be checked before installing Florida Tile large-format porcelain?
Check substrate flatness, tile size, layout, mortar coverage, grout-joint width, lippage, handling, and movement joints.
Large tile reduces grout joints but requires a flatter supporting surface.
The installer may need patching, self-leveling, or wall flattening before installation.
Large-format mortar, back-buttering, appropriate troweling, and lippage-control methods may be necessary.
