60x120 tiles too large for tilers?

OfflerCrocGod

I saw a few 60x120 tiles today which I am tempted to purchase for a kitchen/dining, hallway, utility and downstairs bathroom in a new build. But I'm now worrying that they are simply too big for a tiler to manage and that they'd look ridiculous in a 3 bed semi. Has anyone any experience with tiles this size, did tilers balk at them, are they just too big for a home?

Its a big tile, but ring round some tilers and seek there opinion as part of the quote?

You might have to speak to more people than thought just o figure out if they have experience of putting such a tile in a domestic place?

you would need very very good floors to put that size tile on

I agree with tpm,the floors would have to be spot on.it would be some fun [not] trying to cut them around the stairs,around the bathroom doorframe/utility doorframe with no break.How ever it can be done.Expect to pay twice the price for labour and adhesive that a more standard tile

The more I talk to people about tiles this large the less practical they seem. I think it will be 60*60 then. In fact I was almost tempted to have the 60*120 in the kitchen/dining and 60*60 in the hall/utility/bathroom but I imagine that would look weird.
