Are Large Tiles Harder To Install? 7 Ways LFT Are Harder & DIY Tips For An Easier Install

This is absolutely the toughest tile I've ever installed as a solo DIY project, for a few reasons. Watch this before you buy and install those extra large LFT.

When LFT tiles started trending years ago, most of those tiles were just 12x24. Improvements in mortar made it safe to install that longer tile without increased risk of cracks. But, over the last few years, I've noticed even bigger tiles showing up in stores like Floor and Decor. Sometimes 3'x3', some 2'x4', and lately a bunch of 1'x4' or even 1'x5' long tiles (like mine).
