Choosing Polish Bathroom Tiles
Finishing materials used in high humidity conditions must be of good quality, as well as heat and moisture resistance. High technical characteristics are inherent in ceramics from Poland.
Not everyone knows how to decide on the choice of Polish bathroom tiles, as its range is quite wide. We will consider an overview of well-known manufacturers and recommendations for choosing in as much detail as possible in this article.
Peculiarities
It is believed that the highest quality ceramic tiles are made in Italy. However, coatings from Poland are practically not inferior in technical and aesthetic properties to Italian ceramics. In addition, the price of Polish tiles is much lower.
Tiles from Poland are made of high quality clay, which is mined in the same country. The production process of finishing materials has been completely modernized and includes some technologies that were borrowed from the leading European countries in the production of ceramic tiles (Italy, Germany, Spain).
The low price of Polish tiles is not due to the poor quality of the material, but to the improved production process. The latest equipment and the use of advanced technologies can significantly save on costs, which entails a decrease in the cost of the final product.
Advantages and disadvantages
Today, Polish tile coverings are the best in terms of price / quality ratio.
This tile has several advantages.
- Harmless to the body. Polish ceramics are made only from high quality materials of natural origin without the addition of harmful components.
- Ease of care. The coating is not afraid of household chemicals and moisture, which allows regular wet cleaning in the room.
- Hygiene. The tile coating is not susceptible to the formation and spread of mold and mildew.
- High moisture resistance. Polish tiles do not deteriorate when exposed to water.
- Ceramic tiles from Poland create a highly durable hard surface. Such a finishing material is able to withstand heavy mechanical loads that heavy plumbing creates. In addition, the tile surface is insensitive to abrasive particles and chemicals. Under the influence of such substances, the material will not be scratched and will not lose its original appearance.
- Fire resistance. The tile is not subject to combustion and fire propagation, which provides a high level of fire safety. Under the influence of high temperatures, which can be created by water heated towel rails, the material does not deteriorate and does not emit toxic gases.
- A wide variety of designer collections from well-known Polish manufacturers allows you to choose the right option for any interior.
Despite its many advantages, Polish ceramic tiles have a number of disadvantages, which most often relate to certain collections.
Let's note the main disadvantages of such coatings.
- Some batches, even produced by popular manufacturers, may be defective. For example, an uneven surface or an incorrectly applied design that will be difficult to join.
- Slippery and cold surface. This disadvantage is inherent not only in Polish coatings, but also in all ceramic tiles. Choosing this option for finishing the bathroom floor is far from safe.
- Fragility. The material creates a durable coating after installation.Each individual tile can easily split or be damaged during transportation or rough handling.
Views
Polish bathroom tiles can be used to decorate both walls and floors. Most often, the finishing material is made of ceramics. However, there are also collections made of porcelain stoneware. Porcelain stoneware is most often used for flooring, since such a coating is less slippery and has higher technical characteristics.
The sizes and designs of tiles from Poland can be very diverse. These parameters will depend on the specific manufacturer and collection. You can find both large tiles and material in the form of a mosaic.
How to choose?
When choosing Polish tiles, first of all, it is necessary to take into account the design of the bathroom, its dimensions and the type of surface to be finished.
In rooms of a small area, you should not use large tile material. (for example, 100x100 centimeters). For wall cladding, it is better to use a glazed coating with a high degree of gloss, which visually makes the room larger. As a floor covering, the most suitable option would be matte tiles or porcelain stoneware.
When choosing a shade of material, you need to pay attention to the prevailing color gamut and the level of lighting in the bathroom. If the room is dimly lit, then the shade of the tile will visually appear darker than it actually is. It is also worth remembering that using light-colored coatings, you can visually increase the area of the room.
