VITL Surfaces offers Large Format Tile (LFT), a preferred choice for many commercial projects due to its sleek appearance, minimal grout lines, and outstanding performance in high-traffic environments. Whether used on floors or walls, LFT delivers both form and function across a wide range of industries. Here are some of the best commercial applications where large format tile shines:

1. Lobby and Entry Spaces

LFT creates a bold first impression in lobbies with its visually expansive tile design and effortless, modern, seamless look. With large format tiles, you immediately convey professionalism and style.

2. Wall Cladding

Perfect for vertical applications in public spaces such as hospitals, offices, and retail interiors, tile serves as a clean and serene wall.

3. Retail Spaces

Large format tile provides a uniform surface that supports seamless updates while standing up to heavy foot traffic and daily wear and tear.

4. Hospitality Settings

From hotel lobbies to luxury suites and restrooms, all interior design elements should be fashionable, fresh, pair well with lighting, and be easy to clean.

5. Commercial Bathrooms

With fewer grout lines, LFT improves hygiene and is a preferred choice for public restrooms in malls, stadiums, and schools.

6. Healthcare and Medical Facilities

Durability is key in hospital corridors, patient rooms, and operating areas. LFT tiles resist chemicals, withstand stress, and enable surface and sub-surface hygiene management.

7. Educational Institutions

Hallways, classrooms, and labs need durable and low-maintenance surfaces, making LFT an ideal choice due to its strength and clean finish.

8. Conference and Meeting Rooms

Large tiles create clean, uniform surfaces that enhance acoustics, add style, reduce distractions and reduce distortion in presentation areas.

When time, cost, and disruption are major concerns in commercial renovation projects, tiling over existing tile can be a smart and efficient solution. But it’s not always a one-size-fits-all approach. At VTIL Surfaces, we help our clients navigate the decision with confidence by sharing the key considerations that determine if this strategy is right for their project.

Why Consider Tiling Over Tile?

Time Savings: Avoiding demolition can dramatically reduce downtime—ideal for busy commercial settings like restaurants, retail, or offices.

Cost Efficiency: Eliminating the need for tear-out, debris removal, and substrate repair can result in lower overall project costs.

Minimized Disruption: Tiling over tile allows businesses to maintain more normal operations during renovations.

When It’s a Good Fit

Tiling over tile is a viable option when:

• The existing tile is firmly bonded and in good condition
• There are no signs of moisture damage or underlying structural issues
• Floor height changes won’t interfere with doorways or accessibility compliance
• The existing surface is clean, level, and properly prepared

Considerations Before You Start

Surface Prep: Cleansing and priming the old tile surface is essential to ensure proper adhesion.

Height Tolerance: Adding a new layer increases the overall height. Be sure this won’t disrupt transitions or ADA compliance.

Weight Load: Ensure that subfloors or wall structures can support the added weight of a second tile layer.

Adhesive Compatibility: Use the appropriate setting materials designed for tiling over existing ceramic or porcelain surfaces.
