Big tiles................ - Tile Advice

What would you say is the largest size porcelain floor tile you can fit on your own...?

 

[LM]

Largest I’ve fitted on my own was 1200x1200x10 and I ain’t doing that again!

Must of killed your back ...

Each tile was 34kg plus addy back skim, in conjunction with the awkwardness of the size it felt like a bloody ton, I’m only 5ft8 which didn’t help the reach. Took some forward thinking to get it done to say the least.

1800 x 900 thin tile Andy, can get tricky, but can be done. Just done 1800 x 900 thin tile wet room completely on my own.

1200'sbloody hell Lee ..after last two weeks I reckon 800x800 is big enough on your own, and some of those with Lcuts I couldn't get in without another pair of hands..

Been asked to price some 1200x800 but don't think my back will take it on my own...

If they’re 10mm they won’t be that bad Andy. That 400mm less makes a big difference. About 12kg actually haha

I did 1200x800 stone think it was about 25mm thick, the first few were a nightmare but once you get into handling them you don’t really think about it until you crawl upstairs to your bed!

Yeah you learn to walk the tiles into a pile of sticky stuff for sure.
