disadvantages
The disadvantages of ceramic products are mainly related to rectification. Seamless canvas looks perfect on walls, especially if it has a unique texture. In addition, the absence of seams eliminates the appearance of mold, mildew and the growth of bacteria, the accumulation of debris and dust particles. For this, the final processing of the edges of ceramic products is carried out in the production - the material is practically devoid of chamfers and for this reason it is stacked closely.
This achieves seamlessness, but at the same time the use of edged porcelain stoneware becomes more complicated:
- Wall cladding requires a professional approach. The master has no room for maneuver, and any inaccuracy will affect the appearance.
- In ordinary tiles, the joints protect the material from temperature changes and displacements.When laying a monolithic coating, a certain temperature regime is required, so there is no question of underfloor heating or additional heating systems.
- If the surface of the walls is not even enough, curvature is inevitable, since the rectification fragments cannot have precise geometry. Because of this, the front horizontal surface of the monolith may be distorted.
In such cases, recalibration or allowing narrow joints between the plates helps. Otherwise, Spanish tiles can be considered flawless in all respects.
