36" x 72" porcelain tile for shower wall

Anne K

Hello, I hope someone can provide some pros and cons for using 36x72 polished porcelain tile for my shower wall. I currently have a standard size bathtub 60"x32" and would like to convert it into a walk in shower. I've been shopping for tiles and the marble looking tile that I prefer comes in 36x72. My contractor says he has installed this tile size before so he is comfortable with this size. I haven't seen a lot of comments about this tile size (I live in Vancouver Canada) but I have read some comments online saying that extra large tiles are prone to cracking? I would prefer large format tile since there will be less grout to clean. Hope to hear from the Houzz community and thank you in advance.
