Hello there;



I am redoing my shower, I replaced the walls with hardibacker board (vapor
barrier as well)

and now I'm ready to tile. I noticed that most showers use small tiles but I
would like to use

16 x 16 tiles (Low water absorption). Is there any reason why we don't see
too many large tiles

in walls? is there any tip I should know before I do it? Can it be done??



I would have to suggest that it can be done. I used solid
surface material in my shower which means my large walk-in shower only
has thee tiles (panels.) It sure makes cleaning easier. Not much in
the line of grout lines to clean.
