Between the wall and the bathroom bowl there is almost always a small gap when installing such plumbing and repairing the room. The consequences of this can be very unpleasant if you leave it as it is. A musty odor, mold may appear in the bathroom. In adverse circumstances, you can even flood the neighbors. For this reason, this gap must be closed. For this purpose, a variety of borders are offered for sale. Here are some examples of the most popular options.
Many buyers give preference to ceramic borders which are perfectly combined with a tile on walls. Under the tile, this option to choose products is quite simple, because the range of such products is very large. You can purchase borders to close the gap between the bathroom and the wall and complete with ceramic tiles. In this case, the result will look perfect.
The main plus of the ceramic border is durability. It will serve no less than wall decoration, if you follow the rules of operation and correctly carry out installation. Aggressive detergents cannot harm the ceramic, as it does not come into contact with them. It is an environmentally friendly material.
In the bathroom, borders made of natural stone can also be used, but they are very expensive. This option is usually used if the finish of the floor and walls corresponds to the declared level.
Plinths or curbs made of plastic are the most common. They manage to take leading positions due to the ease of installation and affordable price. There are two options for selling plastic borders. One is designed for mounting on tiles, the other - for tiles. Plastic products are installed during wall decoration. Replacing borders of this type is difficult, but at the same time they close the gap quite qualitatively. Skirting boards are easier to install. They can be installed at any time independently. This is a universal option that goes well with almost any wall decoration. But at the same time, plastic skirting boards usually do not differ in durability. Over time, their attractive original appearance is inevitably lost.
Self-adhesive tape is the easiest option to close the gap. Sizes of rolls on sale are different. This is the most affordable type of border. Even a person who is far from construction and repair can stick it on their own. But at the same time, the service life is short, once in several years the tape will inevitably have to be changed.
