1. The critical role of dead-level subfloors
Large rectified porcelain stoneware cannot accommodate dips or slopes. A deflection exceeding 3mm over a 2-meter straightedge results in unsightly edge lippage under foot. Laser leveling is essential prior to fixing.
2. Mandatory double-buttering for large formats
Under French building standards (DTU 52.2), any tile exceeding 2,200 cm² must be double-buttered with adhesive on both the screed and tile backing to prevent hollow pockets.
