Types

The modifications of Sokol's tile product are varied. Among them, we can distinguish tiles by purpose: for the floor (floor) and for the walls (wall). Each collection also has decorative components.

Decorative tiles stand out from the big picture with their individual style. A huge number of unforgettable patterns and impressive colors will give the room being arranged the desired effect.

From the decor, let's single out individual elements that are worthy of detailed consideration: inserts, panels, freesize and border.

  1. Inserts. A distinction is made between bas-relief and flat inserts, which are also available in almost any collection of this manufacturer. The difference of such an element is that it brings contrast to the overall picture, diluting it with original colors.
  2. Panel. This is a set of several inserts. But often only one tile is used, which is significantly larger than the base tile. As an image here can be used as a single graphic sketch, as well as different semantic compositions.
  3. Freesize - Several tiles united by a combination of patterns. This peculiar panel is particularly popular. A distinctive feature of this work of art is that this original genre does not have any specific shapes and dimensions.
  4. The boarding - A highlight of any interior. It is a ceramic decor, made in a rectangular version with a thickness of up to 80mm. It is usually laid horizontally to separate two types of ceramics or light and dark shades. However, there are variants with vertical laying, which allows you to visually divide the space.

How to choose?

Since the facing of the surfaces of any room or structure is assumed for a long time, and in the extensive range is not difficult to get confused for an ordinary buyer, it is necessary to follow certain tips to correctly approach the question of choosing the finishing material. Consider a few points that will help make the right choice of product facing.

  • The first point you should pay attention to is to know firmly what you will be equipping: what kind of room it will be, or maybe it is the exterior of the house or structure.
  • The second aspect: determining the class of tiles. It is necessary to take into account the technical characteristics of the facing material: they will be different for different rooms.
  • The third question - about the place of laying ceramics. This issue must be worked out very carefully. You have to know all the nuances of the place. For example, whether the room requires visual enlargement, whether there are irregular outlines of surfaces, know all the defects that could meet in the laying, etc.
  • Fourth point: based on all the above points, make a picture of what you would like to get. For example, if the room is small, it is better to use light colors and a fine pattern, this will give the room a visual volume. Dark tones give the opposite effect, but the dirt will not be noticeable.

And the last thing you should pay attention to is the adjacent plane and room. It is important that they are in harmony with each other. Because after a while, this point can manifest itself negatively and dissatisfaction with the design solution will affect the tiling works.

Also, you should not forget about how much finishing material will be needed. To do this, you need to calculate the number of tiles.

Hopefully, these few simple rules will help anyone make the right choice before they start tiling.
