Tiling the bathroom with style

The choice of covering the bathroom walls with tiles is a practical and aesthetically satisfying solution that allows you to completely waterproof the wall, protecting it from moisture and, at the same time, to create a modern and elegant wall covering.
Choosing the right material for the tiles
The material of the bathroom tiles is essential to ensure their good durability and resistance to humidity even in the most critical points, such as the shower area.
Marazzi, for example, a leading company in the production of bathroom, home and outdoor tiles, produces resistant and well-made porcelain stoneware products, but also single-fired white-body wall tiles suitable exclusively for wall installation.
Porcelain stoneware tiles, on the other hand, thanks to their greater resistance, can be used both as cladding and as flooring.
Before starting to tile the bathroom, in any case, it is of fundamental importance to make an exact calculation of the square meters needed to cover floors and walls: to the exact number of square meters it is necessary to add 10-15% more material for the stocks and cuts.
Concrete effect bathroom tiles
The major tile manufacturers realize the most varied effects in an ever more realistic way.
Especially in the large format, from the 60x120 tile to the maxi slabs, the concrete effect is the best-selling and most requested type of tile by individuals and architects for the creation of modern and design bathrooms.
One of the most popular tiles is the Marazzi Appeal collection: these tiles are available for floor or wall application and with sizes ranging from 20x50 cm up to 60x120 cm.
In fact, Appeal is a collection available in 5 colors, perfect for the coverings of industrial-style environments that enhance the beauty of the spatulated concrete guaranteed by the solidity of the porcelain stoneware.
The solutions, both for tiling indoor and outdoor environments, are many and are available with natural or structured surface, ideal for a non-slip surface.
Mosaics, geometric decorations and three-dimensional structures complete the collection and allow for aesthetic solutions with a contemporary charm.
The use of a large tile in the bathroom allows you to reduce the number of joints and, consequently, the points where limescale or encrustations can form, especially in the shower area.
Laying the bathroom tiles
To ensure a good seal over time of the bathroom wall and floor and to avoid the vacuum effect of the glue that shrinks over time and causes the tile to detach in the long run, it is necessary to use a quality glue.
We recommend using Mapei's Keraflex glue in the Gray version for flooring, and in the white version for coverings.
The whole can then be completed with one of Mapei's Ultracolor colored grouts to obtain a result that is studied in detail.
