One of the most popular is the Polish tile, the pros and cons of which will be discussed in this article.

Production of tiles in Poland began in the 80s. It is still considered one of the highest quality and strongest in the European market. Polish manufacturers offer glazed and unglazed ceramic tiles, clinker, large-format ceramic tiles and much more.

And due to territorial proximity to the leaders of tile production - Germany and Italy, Polish manufacturers quickly pick up new solutions, launching high-quality original products. The factories use modern equipment and good materials, so the finished product meets all modern requirements.

The high popularity of ceramic tiles from Poland is due to the unique price-quality ratio. In addition, it meets all European and Russian standards, has many advantages.

One of the main advantages of Polish tiles is hygienic. The bathroom and the kitchen are rooms with a high level of humidity, the environment of which is conducive to the rapid reproduction of microorganisms.

That is why many manufacturers pay special attention to the moisture resistance of their products.

Another advantage is its high strength properties. The tile is in good contact with abrasive materials, it can be safely rubbed with powders and brushes (not metal).

Not everyone knows that most Polish ceramics are fire resistant. The tile is able to withstand even very high temperatures, without cracking and deforming at the same time. You can safely decorate it with a stove or a fireplace - your design will benefit from it.

The advantages of tiles include chemicals resistance. Often, all household chemicals are stored in the bathroom, but not every coating is able to make contact with such means.

Like any other products, ceramic materials from Poland are not without flaws:

• can get caught "floating" tile size;
• products of some manufacturers are thinner than analog products and can lose in strength;
• there are instances with uneven surface (check with the purchase).

There are many collections and models of tiles, so before you make a purchase, you need to know its main types and their purpose.

The enameled ceramic tile is used for laying on walls. It does not have high strength, but this criterion is not the main thing when choosing a wall tile. The main advantage of this type is the excellent protection of the building walls from the environment. A characteristic brilliance will give the room elegance and elegance.

Mosaic tiles are often used as floor tiles. This method is good for its simplicity, at the same time, mosaic is a great way to create an original coating. In addition, such a design kitchen or bathroom will always be presentable.

For laying on the floor in the bathroom is great granite. It has a matte finish and is presented in a variety of colors and textures. Particularly beautiful products with a rough or ribbed surface.This tile allows you to create a not too slippery coating, but will cost several times more expensive than usual.

In addition to the production of facing tiles and porcelain tiles, Polish companies are engaged in the manufacture of clinker tiles (tiles "under the brick"). It is famous for its excellent quality and takes pride of place among analog products of leading European manufacturers.

The process of laying the Polish tile is no different from the usual, and you can cope with it yourself. First you need to level the surface on which the coating will be laid, and you can proceed with the installation.

The tile on the wall is laid from bottom to top, using slats for the first row. On the floor, laying starts from the far corner towards the door. Each new row is laid using a level: vertical slats are installed at the corners, nails are driven into the corner ones, and the thread is tensioned. When laying, make sure that the rows are clearly horizontal.

The distance between the tiles should be about 2-4 mm. When glueing the tile with tiles, make sure that it covers the entire surface of the square.For cutting tiles, use a grinder or tile cutter. After laying, let the tile dry and rub the joints with a spatula.
