Under the influence of such substances the material will not be scratched and will not lose its original appearance.

Despite many advantages, Polish ceramic tiles have several disadvantages, which most often belong to certain collections.
We note the main disadvantages of such coatings.
- Some parties, even produced by popular manufacturers, may have a marriage.For example, an uneven surface or an incorrectly applied pattern that will be difficult to dock.
- Slippery and cool surface. This disadvantage is inherent not only in Polish coatings, but also in all ceramic tiles. To choose this option for finishing the floor in the bathroom is far from safe.
- Fragility. The material creates a durable coating after installation. Each individual tile can easily split or be damaged during transport or careless handling.
Kinds
Polish tiles for bathrooms can be used to finish both walls and floors. Most often, the finishing material is made of ceramics. However, there are collections of porcelain. Porcelain stoneware is most often used for lining the floor, since such a coating is less slippery and has higher technical characteristics.
The size and design of the tile 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 a Polish tile, first of all, it is necessary to consider the design of the bathroom, its dimensions and type of surface,which is to be finished.
In rooms of a small area it is not necessary to use a large tiled material (for example, 100x100 centimeters). For wall cladding it is better to use a glazed coating with a high degree of gloss, which will visually make the room larger. As a floor covering the most suitable option would be a matte tile or porcelain stoneware.
When choosing a shade of material you need to pay attention to the prevailing color range and the level of lighting in the bathroom. If the room is dim lighting, then the shade of the tile will visually appear darker than it actually is. It is also worth remembering that, using the coverage of light colors, you can visually increase the area of the room.
