Pros of ceramic tiles
Today, tile is the most convenient, practical and versatile building material, allowing you to create a comfortable and cozy environment in the bathroom, hallway or kitchen. This is because tile is a completely harmless and environmentally friendly product. It is available in a wide variety of types and colors, and is stronger and more durable than any other wall and floor covering. Also on the market you can choose an original baseboard on tile floor in the color of the facing material and even install beautiful LED lighting on aluminum profiles.
However, it only makes sense to completely tile the bathroom and toilet. The kitchen is a completely different option, since there is usually a large amount of furniture on the walls in this room. Cabinets attached to the wall usually contain dishes, pots, and jars. Therefore, it is best to attach such furniture to the wall itself, and not on tiles, which, moreover, will be covered by kitchen cabinets and cabinets. In this room, it makes sense to lay tiles in open areas. The result will be both economical and, in turn, reliable.

In addition, ceramic tiles, despite different strength classes, still remain a fairly fragile material. Therefore, it can crack if something hard and heavy falls on the floor.
If you still decide to make decoration from this material, it is worth considering completely new and non-standard ideas in the design of the room. For example, consider options in which aluminum skirting for tiles can be used. These are innovative construction products that open up more opportunities for creating the most original interior design in a bathroom, toilet, kitchen or hallway. Unlike analogues made from other materials, such as wood or plastic, they are more durable, have an attractive design and a unique design.

For the floor, it is advisable to buy tiles of at least 3 abrasion class. It should be highly resistant to moisture, cleaning agents and mechanical damage.
