When building with large tile, often times you’ll have to self level…Many companies will “build up” the tile with thin set…Some refuse to self level and you’ll end up living with huge lips. Many times people don’t want to pay for the added expense of self leveler. I advise you to do what needs to be done to get the substrate ready for large format tile. Tile doesn’t bend!
