Large-format surfaces have become one of the most solid and sophisticated choices for contemporary architects. Their presence goes beyond aesthetics: it is a technical and strategic decision aligned with the needs of today’s projects. In this article, we explore the key reasons behind this preference and how at Ascale we bring this solution to its fullest expression.
The power of large format: much more than just a trend
Functionality and technical performance
One of the main reasons architects choose large-format porcelain surfaces is their high technical performance. These materials stand out for their:
- Resistance to impacts, scratches, and stains
- Minimal water absorption
- Easy maintenance and cleaning
- Indoor and outdoor compatibility
These characteristics make large format tiles the ideal choice for high-traffic areas, ventilated facades, countertops, furniture, and integral cladding.
At Ascale, we work with state-of-the-art technology to offer large-format plates measuring up to 324×162 cm, maintaining consistent and uniform quality.
Here you can find our large format collections.
Visual impact and aesthetic continuity
The large format allows you to create continuous surfaces with fewer joints, which improves the visual perception of spaciousness and cleanliness. This is especially valuable in:
- Modern residential spaces
- Luxury hotels
- Corporate offices
- Shopping malls
Thanks to their design versatility, our surfaces perfectly imitate noble materials such as marble, natural stone, or concrete, without the technical limitations of these materials.
Construction advantages and efficiency on site
Shorter installation time
Large-format tiles allow you to cover more surface area with fewer pieces, which:
- Speeds up installation times
- Reduces labor costs
- Minimize waste on site
Lightness and sustainability
Thanks to their reduced thickness (up to 3 mm in some collections), Ascale surfaces are lightweight yet highly resistant, facilitating transport and reducing the project’s carbon footprint.
A smart choice: design, technology, and sustainability
The architect of today is not only seeking aesthetics, but also comprehensive solutions that address the challenges of contemporary design: energy efficiency, durability, sustainability, and timeless aesthetics.
At Ascale, we are committed to this vision, offering:
- Eco-friendly surfaces, with recycled content and responsible production
- International quality and sustainability certifications
- Wide variety of collections adapted to any architectural style
Discover our commitment to sustainability
In a context where functionality, aesthetics, and innovation must go hand in hand, large format represents a high-level architectural response. It is not a trend, it is an evolution. And at Ascale, we offer you the best of this technology so that your projects speak for themselves.
