Tile in the bathroom.
Today we will tell you about the main options for tile design in the bathroom. Photos will also be presented.
It is worth remembering that tiles are slightly different from ceramics. The technology of cooking tiles is almost the same. But tiles, in contrast to ceramics, are more durable and quality material. The fact is that ceramics are simply burned in furnaces during manufacture, and tiles are covered with a special glaze on top, which has additional positive properties. Also there are different types of tile burning - triple, double and single.
The tile is given a longer warranty( up to 30 years), unless you, of course, knock it with a hammer.
The price for tiles, however, is also higher.
Before buying a tile, you must correctly calculate the consumption of the material. Bathroom can be of different sizes, so you need to calculate exactly how many square meters will be covered with
tiles. Also pay attention to the properties of the tile before buying. Often you can overpay for such unnecessary properties as frost resistance and resistance to toxins. It is better to visit several shops and read the inscriptions on the packages.
Please determine in advance whether the slab is very slippery. Often, the bathroom on the floor is slippery enough, this can lead to completely unnecessary injuries. Do not forget to check the evenness of the tile. Ideally, the surface should not have a slope. For verification, you can use a regular square.
It is also necessary to check the strength of the tile. For this, it is not necessary to knock with a hammer, just look at the wrong side of the "table".If the color is uneven, and the surface shines, then most likely the technology of making tiles has been violated.
You have to look at the picture. Lines should not be greased or intermittent. It is necessary to exclude any, even small, defects.
Laying tiles
Almost the only thing you will need for tiling is yourself( sorry for the tautology) tile. Well, tile glue.
Pre-surface, which will be glued tiles, cleaned from dust and dirt, degrease. Remove skirting boards and platbands. If necessary, repair cracks. Cracks can be closed by priming( for 1-2 sets).
Do not forget to make a waterproofing.
After that, according to special technology( it is better to find out from the manufacturer of tiles), the styling is done.
