02-Placing glass mosaic (tile) 01-Change The glass mosaic (or also called "tile") is a very suitable material for lining baths and toilets, their placement is particularly suitable for shower trays and areas will be in contact usual with water (for this reason is used in both pools).
The tile offers endless combinations of colors and textures, versions gloss, matte or non-skid ... Do not go out of fashion and gives a great result with over the years.
This topic will detail my intention is different things to keep in mind about glass mosaic, give you know the major brands with which I work, and other technical clarifications, liquid finishing and protective tile that will make your stay as the first day.
A. Should I put tile in shower work?
As you could have read in another of my themes ( " Change 01-tub shower tray " or " 09-piece shower tray (process) "), the dish does NOT work absolutely no problem in the future. The surface of the shower tile is very hygienic, especially the glossy or enamel which, although non-slip, having no pore, do not break the dirt and germs. That's telling that the grouting and the grout is always made with quality materials. In my case, the joints prepared with high quality materials by mixing a special anti-aging solution that repels dirt. In my more than 14 years of experience, I have made large number of coatings in tile walls in showers and bathtubs, the results are excellent and requires no maintenance.
B. Where I can look at colors of glass tile manufacturers?
Given my extensive experience working with major brands such as: Reviglass and Togama . In each case there is a variety of colors and shades, gradients, blends and borders, as well as different surface finishes.
If price is a determinant, it is preferable to choose, for example, a glass mosaic within the range DK "Fog of Reviglass (enamel is bright) for example a size 2.5 x 2.5 cm and that is pretty standard and the prices do not soar. This range also "game" because I myself, at the time of placement, I can make a custom mix and pretty simple but (Photo B ).
In specific cases I have also had to resort to placing non-slip tile, such as the model "AntiSlip" of Reviglass (this tile has a rough surface which is extremely safe).
C. What I can put tile measures?
As you have seen in each of the manufacturers' web pages, there are different measures of square tile (1 x 1 cm / 2.5 x 2.5 cm / 3.6 x 3, 6 cm / 5 x 5 cm). All are equal in quality, but remember that the larger measures may increase slightly in price, as well as combinations, gradients, etc.
size 5 x 5 cm glazed, I would not recommend to place on the basis of a shower, and that having more material together separate "breaks" a little non-slip effect offer smaller measures, by contrast is superb in kitchen walls (only in certain areas, preferably away from areas where cooking, above the hob vertical , etc).
pool tile
It goes without saying that the tile is essential in the resvestimiento inside a pool. To be vitrified and glazed, sunlight does not mistreat the color or the material itself thus ensuring durability and resistance to UV radiation or any external abrasion .
