Famous masters of design recommend to start to choose tiles for the bathroom, and only then begin to choose plumbing. This method will help to create a harmonious design, to avoid many problems with the installation of the acquired tile due to the design features of the sanitary equipment. Alas, high cost today cannot be the main sign of the quality of products of this kind.. Many manufacturers specifically overestimate the price of their products, hoping that inexperienced buyers will rely only on this criterion when choosing.

To be completely confident in the excellent quality of the purchased goods, you need to do the following:

• Ask the seller for all documents on his products, including certificates.
• Inspect the box with tiles on all sides. All titles and images should be well viewed. On the box you need to find the manufacturer's coordinates, all contact information.
• It is best to accurately know the name of the Italian factory. Many "craftsmen" from China in the name of the factory change one or a series of letters that does not catch the eye, and it seems that you have in your hands the products of a famous brand. Thus, they are trying to protect themselves from prosecution of famous manufacturers, at the same time slipping low-quality products at a high price to inexperienced customers without negative consequences for themselves.

• Open the package itself, carefully examine the tile. Attach two tiles to each other with the front sides and if you notice gaps and reels between them, then you have a 100% counterfeit.

Obviously, some ordinary people have noticed more than once that in the kitchen, where food is cooked, the tile floor often looks worn and untidy at the stove and at the entrance to the room. This phenomenon occurs quite often. It arises from the wrong choice of proper coatings. Even expensive and stylish kitchen tiles from Italy are made without taking into account the operation in our domestic environment. A room such as a kitchen is most often visited by family members in our country. For this reason ceramic tiles should be as resistant to various influences.

There are several degrees of tile wear resistance. The higher this degree is, the longer this coverage will last.

In addition, you need to know that the harder the product is, the lower the probability of it being accidentally or purposefully split. Cases where a fairly heavy pan or pan falls onto the kitchen floor are often encountered.Such situations are fraught with the formation of cracks or chips, which can be repaired difficult. You should also pay attention to the thickness of the selected products: the more it will be, the more resistant to chipping will be the surface.

In addition to strength, the preservation of the stylish look of tiles is influenced by various powders or gels that are used in the care of walls and floors. Of course, for a frequently visited kitchen, it is better to choose the product with the greatest resistance to possible damage.

An important criterion - the so-called "coefficient of friction." The kitchen is also considered a place quite dangerous, since, having lost balance on a slippery floor, you can fall down and drop a hot frying pan or a kettle on yourself. therefore need to buy a coating with a coefficient of friction above 0.75 and a rough texture.

If a lot of difficulties may arise when purchasing products for the floor, then there may be no problems with wall samples.

Remembering the fact that a tile from Italy goes through a multiple cycle of quality control, for its long service life, you can not worry at all. The main problem is initially to choose the right design.

Types of tiles for toilets and bathrooms also differ in the type of surfaces. They are both glossy and with a matte effect, are available glossy smooth or noticeably embossed. It is necessary initially to correctly choose such products, based on the possibility of its full application.

In fact, the images or patterns on the tile are not as important as its parameters. A small-sized product may be out of place in the overall room, and the time spent on its installation will be spent a lot. Big tile is also not in all cases suitable for kitchens, especially if they have low ceilings. Here a lot can depend on the design flight of thought.

If you are advised to buy floor tiles with rough edges, then the wall may well be glossy. If the shiny tile is dark in color, it will not be easy to care for it, but light products are very easy to maintain. If you want to choose an excellent glass tile, you need to pay attention to its appearance. The glass product should have a stylish and attractive appearance, should not have cracks, chips and streaks on the surface.
