Ceramic tiles are beautiful, durable and easy to clean. It is widely used in the residential sector, when finishing factory floors, laboratories, healthcare facilities, sports facilities, etc. Ceramic tiles are easily cleaned from a wide range of contaminants while maintaining a sophisticated appearance. However, laying the material will require serious financial investments, so the choice should be taken responsibly. Since many domestic and foreign manufacturers sell their products on the Russian market, it is impossible to do without the help of our experts when choosing.

Scope. At the first stage of selection, it is necessary to determine the scope of ceramic tiles.

1. For dry rooms, any materials are suitable, as long as they are beautiful and affordable.

2. When it comes to bathtubs or pools, special moisture-resistant collections should be preferred.

3. When facing external bases, rain, snow, ultraviolet radiation, and temperature changes will have a destructive effect on the tile. Therefore, the material must withstand all atmospheric influences.

Features of operation. A superficial examination of ceramic tile catalogs reveals two varieties.

1. Outdoor products are distinguished not only by their size and a special pictogram (human footprint). The surfaces are usually covered with an anti-slip coating for safe operation.

2. Wall ceramics is distinguished by a variety of sizes, a smooth surface and a soft base. It is best to buy a collection where the manufacturer has selected patterns for wall and floor tiles.

Dimensional accuracy. The beauty of the finishing coating largely depends on the accuracy of geometric dimensions. Today, manufacturers make tiles ranging in size from 5×5 cm to 500×500 cm. When seamless installation is carried out, even a small error of 1 mm leads to a shift in the rows. It is very difficult to find ceramics with verified dimensions in the budget segment. It is suitable only for seam styling.

Texture and drawing. The range of ceramic tiles is rich and diverse.

1. The simplest, most practical and affordable is monochromatic ceramics with a smooth glossy texture. It is suitable for finishing laboratories or swimming pools, toilets and bathrooms.

2. Embossed collections look elegant and luxurious. Finishing will be somewhat more difficult to clean, but beauty requires sacrifice. The drawing can be the most unexpected, from the image of cities to the imitation of natural minerals.

We have selected 18 of the best ceramic tile manufacturers for our review. All of them sell their products on the domestic market. When distributing places, the editors of the magazine simplerule relied on the opinion of experts, taking into account the feedback from Russian consumers.
