The main criterion for choosing tiles in the bathroom is the size of the products. For a large room, tiles of any size are suitable. Care should be taken when choosing tiles for a small room. For a small bathroom, it is not recommended to choose mosaic tiles. Visually, such a cladding will narrow the room even more. Large tiles will also make the room miniature, as the room will be divided into a pair of large geometric shapes. Small items, for example, 15x15 in size are also not suitable.

The best option for finishing a small bathroom is purchase of medium tiles. You can choose a square or rectangular shape with a size of 20x30 cm. The rectangular shape of the tile will correct the space. If the tiles are laid horizontally, the room will become longer. Laying the tiles vertically will increase the height of the room.

The properties of the tiles are usually indicated on the packaging. For example, floor tiles are indicated by a foot, wall tiles are indicated by a palm. It is also worth paying attention to the resistance of the material to chemicals. The property is indicated by a flask symbol with a degree of resistance: AA, B, C, D. It is better to choose tiles in the bathroom with the highest degree of stability (AA).

The optimal tile thickness is 9-12 mm. Thickness is considered ideal for bathroom installations. It is also worth paying attention to the type of product. It is indicated on the packaging. The highest quality products of the first grade, low quality is indicated by the third grade.
