Spain tiles for the bathroom are one of the best finishing materials

Along with Italian and Chinese, Spain bathroom tiles are one of the most popular for finishing rooms. Manufacturers are able to provide unique performance characteristics through the use of local clay, subjected to a special firing technology. Durability, practicality and high strength have made Spanish tiles a standard of quality, which allows them to be used to improve and transform the interior of bathrooms and other rooms.

Subtleties of choice

Today there are a large number of different types of tiles on the construction market. This makes the question of the correct choice of material for certain types of work acute. Moreover, depending on the surface, tiles with different characteristics are used even in the same room.

For many years, ceramic bathroom tiles in Spain have been one of the main types of finishing materials. The reason here lies not only in the attractive appearance. The advantages of the material include:

• environmental friendliness;
• strength;
• endurance;
• practicality;
• ease of installation;
• low thermal conductivity.

However, different types of material may have different characteristics. There are wall and floor tiles for the bathroom. The wall-mounted one is more aesthetically attractive, while the floor-mounted one has greater wear resistance and practicality.

When choosing a finishing material, it is important to familiarize yourself with all the characteristics indicated on the packaging. You can also consult with a specialist who will help you choose the right tile for a certain type of work, taking into account other factors.

What to look for?

When considering different collections of bathroom tiles, it is important to pay attention to the degree of absorption. Considering the high air humidity typical of the room, the wrong choice can negatively affect durability. In addition, it may become cloudy and lose its attractiveness. Some divide the choice into stages, each of which involves consideration of a specific characteristic.

1. Porosity is directly proportional to absorbency. Denser material has better characteristics and higher cost.

[note] However, tiles with a low-porosity base are only necessary for laying on the floor. For wall tiles, this parameter is practically unimportant. [/note]

2. Bathroom tiles in Spain must have a face that is resistant to detergents.
3. For quality installation, it is important that the tiles are level.
4. If there is a pattern, it should be clear and uniform. This is achieved with the help of modern technologies and equipment.

If you take into account all these characteristics and make all the calculations correctly, the home owner will be able to provide an optimal estimate for bathroom renovations. High-quality tiles with the best characteristics will have an appropriate price.

The main qualities of Spanish tiles

Production quality

Most often, people purchase glazed Spanish bathroom tiles for renovation work. To produce this material, single or double firing can be used. In the first case, glaze is applied to the clay base, after which the workpiece enters the oven. This process includes several cycles, each lasting 45 minutes.

[note]Single firing technology is simple and inexpensive, and also allows you to automate most production processes. [/note]

Double firing involves 40 hours of processing the clay mold in a similar scenario, after which a glaze is applied to the surface. Then the product goes back into the kiln, where it is fired for 20 hours. This approach allows you to reduce the porosity of the tile and increase its strength. As a result, Spanish ceramic bathroom tiles are durable, strong and wear-resistant.
