In general, laying of floor tiles consists of three very important stages: this is the choice of tiles, preparation of floors in the bathroom for laying tiles and actually laying itself. Let’s talk about the first stage.
Choice of tiles.
The laying of tiles in the bathroom should start with the purchase of this very tile. Most often this process takes place in the store. Of course, the brand new tiles for the bath can be stuck on the nearest construction site, but this approach has a number of serious minuses. Firstly, you can be caught and planted for five or even eight years-it all depends on who exactly you stole. Secondly, the construction artel, in which you will steal materials, will not give you any guarantees of the quality of the goods. And thirdly, stealing is still bad and unethical. Perhaps your mother told you in childhood that in the children who steal, shreds of black wool grow from her hands. Do not take risks once again.
So, you decided to buy tiles in the store. Now let’s talk about small tricks when buying tiles.
First.
Do not save too much. When buying tiles, it is very difficult to overpay. Trying to save every penny on building materials, you will get a tile that literally after a few years will be covered with ugly cracks and will take a completely unpresentable look.
In this case, you will find either a new exhausting repairs, or a bad mood and condescending smiles of friends who came to visit you – oddly enough, sloppy floors are striking first of all. All this is not worth the money saved. When buying tiles more expensive, you choose a product that will delight your eye for many years and even decades. For this it is worth forking.
Second. The purchase of all tiles should be made at a time. The fact is that the same tile, but from different parties, can quite significantly differ in its shade. When buying tiles in parts, you risk turning the floor in your bathroom into a striped zebra.
Third. The tile should be bought with a margin. Repair is an unpredictable case, and in the process a small part of the tile can be beaten. As already mentioned in the previous paragraph, tiles from different parties can differ in their shade. It will not be very beautiful if you will find separate islands from one or two tiles on your neatly laid out the floor in the bathroom lovingly laid out in the bathroom, which will be knocked out of the general ensemble.
