Until recently, it was dominated by tile in the decoration of the walls of the bathroom - it was considered a practical and convenient solution. But is it possible to replace the tiles in other variants of the bathroom decoration? They are. And that talk about them further.
Options for replacement tiles in the bathroom
Many artists identify several options for bathroom decoration without tiles. Which ones?
- The first material - plastic panels. They are easy to care for, as well as installation, and their appearance is quite pristoen. And if they are made under the imitation tiles - cast from their past is not easy. They are resistant to moisture and therefore whether to serve you faithfully for many years, and the wide variety of set textures and shapes, colors - succinctly fit into any interior.
- The wall can be painted. Many do not like it, but previously used oil paints, today it is possible to use a more modern latex formulations. But make sure the wall surface before painting is treated with primer, and then covered with 2-3 layers of paint.
- Instead, the tiles in the bathroom can be easily and simply pokleit wallpaper. But as they say masters - optimally combine them with tiles or panels, placing the top to the wallpaper does not fall into the water from entering the danger zone. For rooms with high humidity optimally select washable wallpaper, including fiberglass, or choose vinyl. Main before pasting wallpaper primed the wall of a special moisture-resistant primer, and the joints themselves - also be treated with silicone, transparent and invisible sealant.
- Instead, the tiles in the bathroom on the wall will look good and mosaics, and the material can be very different - from ceramics and plastics, and ending with a stone. Mosaic can be used for finishing the wall in the bathroom, but the disadvantage of this material for finishing is the complexity of its installation. Simply put, if you've never placed a tile - it is not necessary to take up the case.
- Often, the use of modern bathrooms and a separate material such as natural stone. Undoubtedly, it looks kind of stuff on the walls of luxury, allows walls to breathe, but the only negative - they are expensive. Very expensive natural stone such as granite is the same, and the walls themselves requires careful preparation, testing for strength, sustain or not the weight of the stone.
Everything seems to be good, but I would like to highlight the special attention and another material - is the use of micro-cement or microconcrete. This material is perfectly mimics the concrete or cement screed and perfectly fit the style of loft. And such a move - finish concrete has become in recent years the fashion trend.
