Starting a repair in the bathroom, one of the main stages is the choice of tiles. This material is most popular due to its operational characteristics, because it is not at all afraid of moisture, and it is also easy to care for. Given that a huge number of models are offered in stores, many choose the option they need, only given the size of the tile and its decor, but in addition there are many other factors that are also important to take into account Attention.
Given the additional characteristics of the tiles, which are necessarily indicated on the packages, but on which few people pay attention to, you can choose the most suitable option specifically for your bathroom rooms. Such a tile will last for many years, and will still retain its original appearance for a long time.
Resistance to load and slip
The bathroom is one of the most frequently visited places; the floor tiles in it are often subjected to pressure, and sometimes impacts. If its resistance to loads is low, then very soon the surface will become unusable.
For human safety, it is very important that the tile has a high resistance to slipping, this is especially true for families with small children and the elderly. The tile must have a high ability to resist slipping of the object that is on it. The coefficient of friction should ideally be 10.
Chemical resistance
When cleaning almost any surface, everything uses household chemicals. Some components may adversely affect the surface. The tile seems to be able to withstand any impact, but there are some nuances here. When choosing a tile for your bathroom, be sure to choose class A or AA. They have good resistance to chemicals, which means they will not spoil their appearance after several exposures.
Household practice
If you do not want to buy tiles for your bathroom, and then be disappointed in its quality, you should perform several simple tests before buying. To do this, it is enough to take two tiles from the same series, lay them on top of each other, if their surfaces and corners do not fit tightly together, it is better to refuse such a purchase.
