2X4<\/a> tile size is a versatile size, neither too small that you\u2019d end up looking at a room full of grout lines nor too big that may cause inconvenience not just logistically but also during installation (more on this later).<\/span><\/p>\n

This tile size can be easily installed and would look great in a smaller space and would enable it to look more spacious, and accentuates bigger spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mason\u2019s First Choice, Logistically Practical<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Buying tiles of your choice is only half a battle won, but how the tile is going to come to you and then installed by the mason can make or break the look of your space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Imagine buying a tile that your mason may not be trained at installing, all the money, effort and time invested in buying the product goes in vain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since most masons are now recommending 600x1200mm size tiles, logistically they are trained and well-practiced at carrying this size even to the highest floors without a hassle and also understand the challenges around it.<\/b><\/p>\n

Also, these tiles save a lot of mason\u2019s time. The tiles aren\u2019t too big that they need an additional hand nor too small to install lots of tiles to complete the room. Lesser tiles in a big size reduces the amount of effort that goes into preparing each tile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
