The main advantages of the material

Demand for products is growing steadily for several reasons:

1. Long period of operation. The manufacturer offers a warranty of 10 to 35 years.
2. Wear resistance. This factor is due to the presence in the composition of additional impurities that protect the surface and retain their pristine appearance for a long time.
3. Not susceptible to direct sunlight.
4. Resistance to high humidity.
5. Resistance to mechanical damage.
6. Fire safety.
7. The optimum ratio of quality and cost.
8. A huge range of colors.
9. Easy to install.

But it is worth saying that sometimes the consumer is faced with a problem, which is that the joints diverge and the tile sits in length. In this case, you need to perform the styling process again. If the joint between the tiles is insignificant, then you can use a special grout.

To avoid problems, it is worth approaching the preparation of the foundation with all responsibility and seriousness. The quality of work depends on this. As for the problem of seams directly, this is often observed with underfloor heating, or with non-compliance with the temperature regime during installation. That is, the material is significantly heated and therefore expands.
