When starting a bathroom renovation, most owners ponder the selection of tiles for the bathroom, considering the room's constant exposure to high humidity and temperature changes. Here, we will consider which bath tiles are the right fit for your project.
In principle, several main criteria should be taken into account when purchasing: technical characteristics, shape and size, texture, and design.
Which tile to choose based on design? There are many modern bathroom tile collections on the construction market.
When selecting a design for interior decoration, certain rules should be followed:
A glossy light surface will visually expand the space, but under artificial lighting glare will appear that tires the eyesight;
For low ceilings, it is better to choose a vertical pattern for the visual effect of high walls;
The space will visually become smaller if you choose a large ornament, but the surface will become solid;
Dark colors tend to visually shrink the room.
Technical characteristics of tiled in bath
Before selecting and purchasing bathroom wall tiles or bathroom floor tiles, it's essential to thoroughly examine the characteristics specified on the packaging of the finishing material. Â
Basic performance qualities that address the selection of shower tiles include:
Purpose. Finishing material for walls is marked on the packaging with a palm print, and washroom floor tiles with a silhouette of a foot.
Moisture and heat resistances.
Thickness. For walls, a thickness of 6-9 mm is sufficient; for shower floor tile, this figure is larger.
The anti-slip coefficient ranges from 1 to 4, with the packaging displaying an image of a boot on an inclined plane.
Before choosing shower bases for tile or walls, you need to check the strength of the product, which is determined by the number of firings. On the packaging, this indicator is marked with flames, inside of which there is a number indicating how many times the firing was carried out. Products that have undergone one firing are more durable and suitable for floor finishing.
Abrasion resistance is illustrated on the packaging with a serrated gear with five classifications available. Products of class 5 are used for floors in high-traffic areas, while class 1 is reserved exclusively for walls.
The chemical resistance of the shower wall tile is marked with Latin letters and a flask; for a bathtub, it is better to choose a shower with tile walls with the symbol 'AA', such a designation will guarantee the durability of the coating, and such surfaces are also easy to care for.
