Hi - I would really appreciate your advice here.

I need to decide whether to have large format tiles 600*600 or 300*600 in kitchen, as opposed to glass splashback. My concern is cutting large format tiles to allow for powerpoints. Is it easier for builder/tiler to put up splashback or tiles ? Which will take longer ?

Thanks

Cutouts for sockets etc can be cut into both but i would think the glass will be a more risky job, but for someone who does it on a regular basis it shouldnt be ( putting socket holes in tiles i do with my eyes shut lol) so really the choice is your as to what you want.

I wouldn't put 600 x 600's or 600 x 300's in, if you want to go for a large format tile then it's better to go for a long thin tile on a landscape, I did some 500x 150's recently, looked great in a kitchen

Hmmmm, I see the OP isn't quite so appreciative after all.

Friend of mine had them landscape tiles put in his kitchen. Redish type tiles and white thick grout. It looks excellent, When I he told me what he was doing I though he was mental
