Tips for Installing Lappato Porcelain Tiles

  • Prepare a Flat Surface Before Installation: Large-format lappato tile will show uneven areas easily, in sizes like 24x48 and 36x36. Make sure to take your time checking the surface carefully making sure there are no high or low spots before you begin. A flat base helps your lappato finish tiles sit properly.
  • Dry Lay Tiles to Preview the Final Look: Before applying any mortar, lay out a few of your lappato tiles to see how the pattern, tone variation, and overall layout looks. This step is useful for large areas, especially large floor tile applications or open spaces where direction and flow matter.
  • Use Mortar Designed for Large-Format Porcelain: Lappato porcelain tiles are dense, so they need a strong thinset to ensure proper adhesion. Large format lappato tiles like our 24x48 and 36x36 tile styles require a more stable bond over time.
  • Choose Grout Lines That Complement the Finish: Since lappato tile has that soft semi-polished surface, grout choice plays a big role in the final appearance of your tile layout. Go with matched grout color to create a more seamless application while allowing your lappato tiles to stand out naturally.
