Everyone wants to live in a beautiful and comfortable home to repair the repairs please not only the beauty of novelty, but also by its practicality and durability. Therefore, when it comes to choosing a facing tile, you need to take into account various indicators.
1
To begin with, we determine where exactly the tile is meant: in the bathroom, kitchen, hallway, living room, steps, other. Here it will be necessary to take into account the wear resistance and stability of the tile. We are facing the floor or walls. Depending on the purpose, certain operational requirements are presented to the tile. Usually all the necessary information about the tile is applied to the packaging. For this there is a certain marking:
foot on a black background - floor tiles;
image of hand brush - wall tiles;
snowflake - frost-resistant tile;
foot on a shaded background - increased wear resistance;
multiple application of one picture on the package is a high level of this indicator.

If the tile is intended for the bathroom, then the basic requirements will be: waterproof, elevated chemical characteristics, low porosity, good acid resistance and resistance to bases, as the tile in the bathroom is constantly in contact with chemicals (cosmetics, soap, detergent and cleaning agents). For the walls, the tile with a glossy, smooth surface (glazed) is selected, for the floor in the bathroom, the tile should be embossed or at least matte so that there is no slippery in the room.

If the tiles cover the floor in the hallway or corridor in a private apartment, the main requirement is wear resistance. The floor tile should have surface mechanical and chemical characteristics, so it is best to choose a durable and low-porous tile, resistant to surface abrasion.

If the tile is designed for the kitchen, then the main requirements for it will be: high mechanical and chemical characteristics, significant wear resistance. It should be durable and stripped, resistant to the effects of water and chemical means, should not be afraid of the effects of steam and hot fat, do not deteriorate when exposed to hot items. Tile for the kitchen should be combined with future furniture in color, this nuance also needs to be thought out in advance.

When choosing a ceramic tile, it is worth considering the color solution for the room in which the repair is made. We think over the color match and the size of the tile. Consider that bright shades will make the room visually more, and dark is less. It is an inappropriate small room to separate a large tile, such as 100/100 or 50/50 cm, it will be more beautiful to look at a small tile, a mosaic. To visually increase the height of the ceiling, you can put a rectangular tile (20/30 cm) to lay out in a vertical position. And if in a horizontal, then the ceiling will seem below. Decide: whether there will be a monophonic tile or with a pattern which preferably saturation of the pattern, whether you want to position it on all the walls or one. Consider that different colors are visiting different emotions. Do not neglect decors, friezes, borders. They make the interior richer, rich and divide the room on the zone.

Already in the shop when buying, we look at: there is no chips and cracks, is uniformly, the tile is uniform (should be without divorce and spots). All facets must be even. If the tile is high-quality, then when folding two fragments, the gap between them is not greater than 0.5 mm. With inside, too, check for integrity. Well, if the irrigation side is rifled - it provides better tile gluing. As a rule, a tile for one room is selected by one manufacturer - for the floor, and for walls.
When choosing a ceramic tile, savings are not at all relevant, because the miser pays twice! It is very important to choose high-quality tiles well-proven manufacturers! It is also important to consider the appearance of the room, it would be nice to consult with the designer. This repair is done for many years, and it depends on you whether he will delight you for a long time.
