The choice of bathroom tiles is not just about the floors. These rooms of the house are particularly subject to humidity, thermal changes and splashes of water, which is why it is a well-established habit to also cover one or more walls. The choice of the height of the coverings is dictated by both reasons of use and style.
bathroom coverings over 2 metersCladding the bathroom walls up to 2-2.20 meters, that is up to the upper edge of the door frame, is the most common choice, because it ensures adequate protection from mold and humidity. This solution allows you to be able to choose the tile design. It is also the most recommended solution if the shower box is near the door. This will give continuity to the coating, creating a uniform aesthetic effect throughout the room.
coatings up to 1.20 - 1.50 metersThe half-height coating, i.e. up to 120/150 cm, is ideal for long and narrow bathrooms. Keeping a free band between the cladding and the ceiling allows you to give more brightness to the environment. for this solution, aesthetically more flexible, some critical points must be considered: the sanitary control plate and the shower: in these cases it is also necessary to consider a difference in height, maintaining design and movement in the cladding.
ceiling claddingBringing the tiling up to the ceiling is a "vintage" fashion, in fashion in the 60s / 70s. Suitable for very large and bright bathrooms, it brings with it the preference for large format tiles, which allows you to eliminate the joints and cover an entire portion (or wall) with a single slab.
Critical points of this solution are the irregularities of the ceiling and the attention that must be paid to finding the right installation combination that does not force irregular cuts of the tiles at the corner with the ceiling.
no liningThe total absence of the tile covering is a risky and uncommon choice, especially due to the effects of hygiene and maintenance: molds and halos can appear much more easily and it is therefore necessary to use different solutions, such as resin, which however allow less aesthetic flexibility.
