The bathroom is very different from all other rooms in the apartment, since its operation is associated with the use of a large amount of water, both cold and hot, which creates high humidity. This feature imposes special requirements on the materials with which the bathroom is finished, since in addition to making the room attractive, they must be highly resistant to moisture and practical.
To date, there is a wide range of moisture-resistant material that finishes bathrooms. Among this abundance, cement tile stands out, which guarantees reliability, high quality and absolute safety during operation, since it is processed with moisture-resistant materials.
The right choice of cement tiles
The use of cement tiles in the design of such a specific room as a bathroom requires special care when choosing. Here every detail is important and therefore a difficult task falls on the buyer. When choosing, pay attention to:

Methods for laying cement tiles
The interior of a small bathroom, as well as the design of a large bathroom, is influenced not only by the materials chosen for finishing, but also by the methods used for this. Facing the surface of walls and floors can be done in the following ways:
- Solid coverage - when the entire surface is completely covered with tiles.

When renovating an apartment or house, the bathroom is the most difficult object. Firstly, it is usually a small room where it is difficult to turn around. Secondly, there is a mass of various pipes outside, through which hot and cold water and heating are supplied.
Which tile is preferable when choosing for bathrooms
Historically, most bathrooms have been finished with light-colored cement tiles. Beige, light green, and azure tiles are very popular. White harmonizes well with many other colors. Decorating the bathroom entirely with blue tiles is possible, but for many people it will evoke an association with a hospital.
Therefore, it is necessary to dilute the walls with colored tabs or tiles with patterns. A tiled ornament or even a whole picture looks good in the bathroom. Important: the main thing is that it does not quickly bother the owner of the bathroom.
