Ceramic tile producers are crazy?

Are the ceramic tile producer crazy? If you have a look to the last tiles that the tile producers launched on the market you could really think that there is something strange on the market. 120...150 cm and maybe longer tiles, 14, 16 mm thickness with very very special surfaces (special textures, mixed materials). Every day our job is becaming harder and in order to cut and to drill this kind og tilers we need special wet saws with spacial blades. All the tiling tools world is trying to follow this trend that I like to call crazy tiles but I don't know which will be the limit. Today to fix a kerlite tile (1m x 3 m x 3 mm) or Graniti Fiandre tile (1 m x 1,50m x 12 or 14 mm) you ned special equipement etc etc and this isn't the end because next yeear the caramic tile producers will lauch new strange tiles...I personally think that maybe these ceramic tiles are an opportunity for the end users but I think also that the ceramic tile producers should ask to the professional tilers and to the tiling tools producers before to put on the market a new type of tiles!
