Special elements of the collection are borders of several types and thicknesses, special and elements, usually they have darker colors in wall collections, various inserts with miniatures, etc. D.
There are collections of different dimensional tiles with the ability to vary the design of styling on adjacent walls of the bathroom. Each collection has its own styling features from the point of view of design, and from the point of view of the location on the wall and floor. There are technologies when ceramic tiles alternate with wooden, metal design details or even with natural stone. It is possible to cut by a master of whole elements of individual parts of a non -standard size according to the designer drawing, the combination of factory tiles and stone mosaics, as well as a glass of glass or mirrors.
And yet, most are limited to ready-made collections of one or two species and sizes.
And even in this case, it is difficult to choose from the proposed variety of finishing materials. Other factors come into force here. The price has already been mentioned. There are important properties of material that are very significant and often missed by customers. For example, for the floor in the bathroom you can not take fragile and slippery tiles. What is suitable on the wall is usually not suitable for the floor. On the floor there should be a tile not slippery and perfectly accurate, with an ideal coincidence of sizes, with an absolute rectangularity to reduce gaps. The less moisture falls into the gaps, the longer the styling on the floor will last, and there will be no abet.
In addition, floor collections should withstand the fall of objects in the bathroom, there is always the possibility of dropping something heavy on the floor of the hands slippery from soap. Of course, tiles for the bathroom, if it has gilding and other coatings, should not be washed from frequent washing, the pattern should not be afraid of prolonged exposure to water and detergents. As well as on the floor, on the walls of the bathroom, a minimum gap between the tiles is required, for the same reason. Choose such a collection so that the main tile in it has the largest size so that the total area of the joints is as low as possible, and place a place where there are a lot of fine beautiful tiles, place higher from water flows.
Another selection factor is that people are stripped in the bathroom, so you can easily cut about any ledge, which means that a relief surface with cutting edges at body level is undesirable. Part such details either below the knee, or above eye level.
