Also, tools like tile handling clamps firmly grasp the slab edges for secure lifting and moving, while lifting straps evenly distribute the weight to minimise the risk of back strain.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Transportation and Positioning<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transport slab tiles on a flat surface to prevent cracking or breakage. Lift slabs instead of dragging them to avoid edge damage. Align slabs carefully with the installation area using guiding lines or markers, and ensure they are supported evenly.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Storage<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Store slabs vertically against a stable wall or in a specially designed rack with rubber gaskets or pads to prevent slipping and protect edges from damage.

For precise cutting, either score and snap the tile along the line with a tile cutter or adjust the wet saw fence to the correct measurement for a smooth cut through the tile.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>L-Shapes and U-Shapes<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For L-shapes, measure and mark both sides of the L, then cut with a tile saw or angle grinder, finishing with nippers or a grinder to shape the corner.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For U-shapes, mark the outline of the U, make straight cuts with a saw or grinder along the outline and shape the inner corners carefully using nippers or a grinder.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Holes<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a template and pencil to draw a circular outline on the slab tile.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make a starter hole inside the circle using a drill with a carbide-tipped bit.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attach the correct-sized hole saw to a drill or an angle grinder equipped with a hole saw attachment to cut along the marked circle outline, keeping the tool at low speed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Preparing and Installing Big Slab Tiles<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17278\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orientbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/850x450-Pix_2-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orientbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/850x450-Pix_2-8.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.orientbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/850x450-Pix_2-8-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orientbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/850x450-Pix_2-8-768x407.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orientbell.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/850x450-Pix_2-8-150x79.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before installation of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.orientbell.com\/tiles\/slab-tiles\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">big slab tiles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it needs some pre-installation preparation.

For a lump-free adhesive paste, blend it using a low-speed mixer. Let the mixed adhesive rest for about 5 minutes before use to ensure proper activation. After which, it remains workable for around 8 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Handling Slabs<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Utilise a sturdy professional trolley to transport and position the slab tiles safely and efficiently.

Here is our take on how to keep your big slab tiles in proper condition:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>For a regular inspection<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check for Damage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Check for damages around your big slab tiles, particularly along edges and corners. Look for cracks, chips, or loose tiles. The sooner you realise something is off, the less likely it will escalate to a more serious and in all probability, costlier repair.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Grout Lines:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Look for grout lines for any discoloration or damage. The grout shall be intact, free of mildew and mould. In the case of visible cracks or gaps, reapply grout to maintain the tiles&#8217; stability and appearance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Cleaning and Protection<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Regular Cleaning: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To maintain the beauty of your big slab tiles, use tile-safe cleaning products and avoid harsh chemicals. Opt for pH-neutral cleaners designed for tiles. Clean the floors with a vacuum cleaner daily or once a day and use a damp mop to wipe the surface in case of any dirt.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Deep Cleaning:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Occasionally, scrub the slab tiles to remove all grime or dirt the routine cleaning might miss. Non-abrasive, tile safe cleaners should be used to clean it while using a scrub brush to clean it properly. Wash it carefully and make sure to dry the surface with a cloth to avoid any water stains.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Edge Protection:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Install edge trims or profiles to protect the edges of slab tiles from damage. These trims get to protect the tile edges which in turn increases their durability and give the installation a finished look.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sealants:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Applying a good quality sealant will further protect your large slab tiles. Sealants help resist moisture penetration, stains and damage from spills. Just be sure to apply a sealer that will be suitable for your type of tile material and always follow the instructions of the manufacturer in terms of application and reapplication.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slab tiles are one of the game-changers in contemporary home design.
