Registration of walls indoors of the apartment, as well as the facade of the house decorative brick Or material imitating brickwork - never came out of fashion. However, unfortunately, it is not always possible to use a real brick for the interior decoration, as it will waste the slab overlapping multi-storey buildings. In addition, make the perfect laying "under the extection" - is not so simple, because for this you need at least a minimal experience of a mason.

It is much easier to use others interesting methodsallowing you to achieve the desired result. Imitation of bricks for interior decoration can be produced differently and, which is characteristic, is available in the installation of any, even a beginner decorator.

Considering the fact that brickwork decades remains popular and used in reproducing various interior styles, manufacturers did not miss this moment, and developed several types of material capable of replacing a natural brick.

This finish is made in different forms - it can be a flexible or rigid tile, having the size of the end side of the brick, or large wall panelsClosing the whole range of walls produced from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), MDF or glassfibrocement.

Flexible tile "under the brick"

Flexible tile, imitating brickwork, is great for internal and exterior decoration walls. This modern material is not only decorative, but also a protective coating for surfaces and has a number of positive qualities - here you can include resistance to external atmospheric impacts, impact resistance, vapor permeability, inertness of microorganisms, as well as to ultraviolet radiation, and, of course, Aesthetic appearance and a fairly simple processing and installation process.

"Flexible brick" is easily mounted not only on straight smooth surfaces, but also perfectly envelopes external and internal angles premises.

Such material is used to decorate walls inside apartments and houses, in particular, such premises, as a hallway, corridors, kitchens, living rooms, loggias. It will fit both for external, facade walls. It is very convenient to use such tiles for cladding columns, fireplaces, small architectural forms, as well as in any areas where such design is conceived. Regardless of the complexity of the surface configuration.

The tile can be used to finish the entire wall completely or fixed on its separate sections. Since the material has many colors, there is an opportunity to make a finish of one-photon or apply the tiles of different shades, hamonary combining them with each other.

Installation of "Flexible Brick"

For mounting flexible tiles, complex electrical instruments will not be required. It will only be necessary to prepare:

- smooth spatula 120 ÷ 150 mm wide - for mixing and applying glue;

- a toothed spatula with a combination of a height of 4 mm and a width of 150 ÷ \u200b\u200b200 mm;

- construction level with a length of 1000 ÷ 1500 mm;

- a line of 1000 ÷ 1500 mm;

- Marking painted cord for bulging lines;

- simple pencil;

- powerful scissors;

- Brush 12 mm width for leveling the solution in intercutric seams.

From materials, except for tiles, it will take primer for walls and special tile glue.

For installation, a dry building mixture can be applied - ordinary tile glue, but it is more convenient to use the prepared for use with the composition, packaged in plastic buckets. In any case, purchasing tile, you should immediately consult with the seller on the question suitable for a specific glue material.

In order for the masonry to be smooth and neat, the wall before starting the installation, it is necessary to put in order, cleaning and aligning it. After drying the leveling solution, the wall must be implanted with an antiseptic composition, which will give materials a higher adhesion and will not allow in the future to appear mold under the cladding layer. When the primer is sucked, you can move to the installation of tiles.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account the fact that mounting work It is necessary to conduct at a temperature not lower than +5 degrees, otherwise the adhesion between the materials will be insufficient, and the tile may later begin to peel from the surface of the walls.

• The first step of the wall surface must be drawn on the smooth zones by which glue will be applied and the tile is fixed. If the entire wall is facing completely, then it is necessary to repeal the upper and lower bounding lines.
• The glue is applied not to the entire surface, but on separately paid zones, constituting about 1000 × 500 mm. The adhesive mass layer should be approximately 2 ÷ 3 mm - it is applied using a smooth spatula, and then distributed throughout the region to be lined with a gear spatula so that the grooves are the same height.

• The tile is glued together, and if the first of the rows start with a whole tile, then the second - from half or one third of the "brick", depending on the desired location of the warehouse seams.

To divide into parts "flexible brick" at any angle, without the use of any power tools is simple enough: it is placed and cuts along the line with ordinary scissors.

• The seams between the rows may have different thickness - this parameter will depend on the preference of the wizard, but usually the lumen is left at 10 ÷ 12 mm. The selected seam size is taken into account immediately when the wall marking on the mounting zones is marked.

• "Flexible brick" easily envelopes protrusions formed at any angle, as well as internal angles or rounded walls if they are on the surface of the surface.

• When the stressed surface zone is decorated with tiles, it is necessary to immediately align the solution in horizontal and vertical seams, otherwise the adhesive will grab, and it will not work careful alignment. Smoothing of the solution is carried out using a relatively thin brush of medium rigidity, slightly moistened in water.

The fact that for flexible tiles is not required to additionally acquire the grip for the seams, it is also possible to boldly be called the dignity of the material, as it does not have to do extra costs.

Rigid facing tile "under the brick"

Decorative tile is manufactured based on different materials, such as plaster, cement, clay, as well as from a mixture of some of them with the addition of fibrovolocone, coloring additives and special plasticizers. Some finishing tiles can be manufactured independently. In addition, imitation brick masonry can be carried out in other ways.

The laying technology of rigid tiles from various materials is almost the same, only for fixing on the wall, suitable glue compositions are used. The installation process of the wall on the wall will be considered after a brief description of the types of rigid facing tiles.

Gypsum tile

Gypsum tile for interior decoration, imitating brick, can be called the most affordable facing option. The material has a small weight, so it will not be difficult to fix it on the wall, but for high adhesion, when it is fixed to the surface, it is necessary to use adhesive on a plaster basis. The main disadvantage of such a tile that does not have a protective coating is quite high hygroscopicity of the material, so it is not recommended to use indoors with high humidity air.

If the gypsum finishing material has special additives and moisture-proof protective layers, both with external and from the back side, then it can be used not only in any rooms, but even for facade facing. These tile options are mounted on tile glue, designed for external work (you can often find the term - "for complex bases").

For the convenience of finishing the corners, special curly elements are manufactured, which will not only make these wall areas neat, but also protect capital walls from chips.

Using this version of the finish "under the brick" for the walls, it will be necessary to purchase not only the materials mentioned above, but also the grout, which makes the seams between the tile, creating a single hermetic layer that protects the entire surface of the wall.

Cement facing tile

Facing tile made of cement mortar is owned by its popularity with a variety of colors and textures, as well as an affordable material price. In addition, this type of finish has a good performance characteristics, due to which it can be used in any room, not even equipped with heating for the winter period.

The molding solution for the production of such a tile consists of portland cement and sand with the addition of water. Usually, portland cement M400 and M500 are used for it, which is taken in proportion 1: 2 or 1: 3, relative to the sand.

The solution of the sour cream-like consistency is distributed into special silicone forms, and after it is frozen, finished products are obtained, already painted in mass or require external decoration and applying a protective coating. Facing material from the cement mortar, as well as from the gypsum, it is possible to make it yourself. And if it was not possible to find a matrix form of the desired format, then it can also be made with your own hands.

For those who love to do everything on their own ...

Artificial stone, including - and on the form of a masonry brick, optionally acquire in stores. All - from the manufacture of forms to casting tiles, can be performed and own forces. Of course, some knowledge is needed - the article of our portal will help in this reader.

Clinker tile

Clinker tiles are used for the inner lining of the walls not as often as the other types of material imitating brick, as it has a sufficiently high price. It is more often acquired for facades, given its highest performance characteristics. However, you can apply for interior decoration and it, especially if there is a furnace or fireplace.

It is made of natural high-pile clays, without the use of artificial dyes and plasticizers. The raw material is pressed and burned at high temperatures that reach + 1150 ÷ \u200b\u200b1200 degrees. Due to this, the clinker tile is an environmentally friendly material with unsurpassed natural durability and reliability qualities that multiply in the process of the production process.

Such finishing material is perfect for both internal and facade facing. It has a very low coefficient of moisture absorption, high frost resistance and wear resistance, inertia to temperature drops and to almost any chemical influences.

The decorativeness of the clinker tile is not inferior to its physico-technical characteristics, since the variety of design options allows you to choose the material for every taste and style of the interior of the premises or the facade of the structure. The finish may have a rough, glazed or natural, unprocessed surface. A tile of different sizes and shapes is available on sale, and this factor also allows you to implement the most courageous design ideas.

Installation of facing tile "under the brick"

As mentioned above, the entire tile having a certain rigidity is mounted on the wall approximately equally. For work, the same tools will be required as for "flexible bricks", and besides, it will be necessary to prepare a manual circular saw or grinding machine With a stone disk.

Works on laying a cladding from this type of material are more complex, since the finishing already has a considerable weight, and after installation requires a neat sealing of the seams between the tiles.

The process of cladding is carried out in the following order:

• The laying should be made on the prepared, primed and relatively smooth wall.
• The wall mounting of the wall is in the same way as for the installation of any piece facing material: the even lines on the upper and lower masonry level are beaten, then all the distance between them is recommended, calculated and divided horizontally so that in this area the intended number of rows can accommodate Masonry, with compulsory taking into account the thickness of the seams between them. It is especially important to carry out this process in the event that there is no sufficient experience on the walls of the walls - the markup will help make the masonry perfectly smoothly.

Performing markup, each of the seams between the rows you need to remove 10 ÷ 12 mm.

• Next, the glue mass is prepared, which is selected in accordance with the type of material, on the basis of which finishing tiles are made.

• The masonry starts from the bottom row, which is carefully verified by the construction level, since the accuracy of all wall cladding will depend on its horizontal. If the first row begins with the whole, then the second and all subsequent even rows with ½ or ⅓ tiles.
• Next, glue with a layer of 3 ÷ 4 mm is applied on the wall with a spatula. After that, the mass is distributed to a toothed spatula, which leaves an equal to the height of the groove, providing the maximum uniform distribution of glue during the pressed tile. When laying some heavy types of tiles (the same clinker), the adhesive additionally recommended to apply on the back side of the facing material. Therefore, before starting work, it is necessary to explore the instruction attached to the package in which the nuances of the installation of a particular material are specified.

• In the process of installation, it is necessary to monitor the evenness of each of the stacked rows.

• In order for the width of the seams between the tile on the entire factional surface was the same, some wizards use special calibrators of the same size. They are temporarily installed between the rows, and after setting the adhesive mass is removed and installed again, but already on the upper rows. A wooden stack or silicone columns can be used as such calibrators.

• For facing external corners Special curly elements are used, which are able to disguise the available chips, and make the angles with neat and protected.

• Upon completion of the masonry and after complete grazing of glue, the seams between the tile must be reliably and gently close up using specially intended for this purpose. Fill seams can be different:

- Use ready-made compounds in tubes using a special pistol.

- Place a mixed grout into a plastic bag, and then cut off the painter one of its corners on the width of the seam and gently squeeze the solution into the gaps between the rows.

In any case, the rapid composition should not fall on the facing surface of the facing - the tile-maped "under the brick" usually has a pronounced embossed texture, and when the solution gets into it, it will be very difficult to remove it, and sometimes it is not even possible. So, accuracy with this operation should stand in the foreground, even if damaged the speed of work.

If necessary (most often it happens), the seams are then smoothed using a special tool - the extender.

The grouting composition in the mixing form should be plastic, easy to fill the seams and reclocked. Since such a mixture is captured quickly enough, it should not be kneading a large amount - orient to 15 ÷ 20 minutes of work.

The process of cladding with tiles, imitating brick, is similar to the installation of a conventional ceramic tile. Therefore, if you have previously purchased experience in working with a tile, then the surface cladding material "under the brick" will be held successfully.

Interior panels for brickwork

For interior design, ready-made panels with a "brick" relief are made, which greatly facilitate the installation of the finish, as they immediately close the large area of \u200b\u200bthe wall and between themselves on the principle of puzzles, jack or other connections.

PVC and MDF panels

Panels are made from different materialsBut the most popular of them are those that are produced from polyvinyl chloride - very common and safe for a person polymer, and from modified wood-fiber plates - MDF.

With these materials - it is very easy to work, as they simply color using the hacksaw or electric jigsaw. The thin same panels from polyvinyl chloride can be cut even with an ordinary stationery or scissors.

Decorative plates for inner facing of surfaces are able to disguise any flaws and irregularities of the walls, and if they are mounted on the equipped frame, it is helped to hide various engineering communications - pipes or wiring.

In addition to these options, the panels with the relief of brick masonry are made of organity, dvp, fiberglass, gypsum, and other materials, but still the most popular PVCs and MDF remain.

By color decision The panels are very diverse, the size of the imitation of bricks may also differ, so you can choose exactly the option that perfectly fit into the interior solution of the room.

PVC panels have quite a lot of advantages that allow them to use them in rooms with different levels of humidity. They do not require additional coloring and leveling the surface under their installation. Some panel models are complemented heat insulating material - mineral Vata., foam or polyurethane foam. They are called thermopanels, but they are mainly used for external insulation Walls from the facade side. If necessary, such plates options can be applied to the decoration of the balconies - they will not only good insulationBut they will make a considerable contribution to the sound insulation of the premises.

Unlike PVC panels, the MDF finish is not recommended to use indoors with high humidity, but it is perfect for aligning the walls of the hallways, corridors, insulated balconies, and residential rooms.

Manufacturers also thought out the design of the corners, manufacturing special curly elements for this.

Panels from glass fibrobeton

Separately, it is necessary to mention the panels from the glass fibrobeton. This facing material It is manufactured on the basis of a conventional cement with the addition of glass fiber fibers, which increases the strength of the plates in tens of times. For external panel decorations, additionally can be reinforced metal elementswhich increase the weight of the structure, but make it with a resistant to mechanical effects.

Reinforced only with fiberglass, panels have not particularly frightening weight, residually compact size. The solution for their manufacture is painted in mass, so the plates are not terrible small chips and abrasion. Some manufacturers in the production of molding mixture are added to it color fiberglass, which is somewhat darker or brighter of the main tone, but perfectly harmonizes with it - it gives a very interesting effect. In addition, additional applying paint on the surface of ready-made and mounted products is allowed.

Facing material is well suited for interior decoration, but still it is used more often for the transformation of the facade part of the walls of the structure.

Environmentally friendly plates do not lose the walls, as they have a small mass. They perfectly protect the surfaces from moisture and mechanical impacts, as well as on the penetration of the house of radio emissions, have a number of other attractive advantages. However, the cost of such facing materials is high enough, so not each owner can afford such a finish.

Installation of the "Brick" panels on the wall

If the wall surface is quite smooth, the panels can be fixed on it without installing a frame design. Light PVC plates are glued to the purified and primed surface with one of the polymer adhesives. For example, "liquid nails" are well suited for this.

MDF-based finishing panels has a significantly greater weight, so it is additionally clipped onto the wall of the dowels in four or five places.

The glass panels from the glassfibeta can be fixed on a flat wall using a cement-based tile glue.

In the case when the walls of the wall have significant overwhelms, they are adjusted by fixing the frame structure consisting of metal guides or wooden barexhibited precisely in the desired plane in the construction level. Some manufacturers are manufactured for their products special subsystems, fixed on the wall or on the installed frame. In this case, the panels are hung on special elements subsystems.

Subsystems may have different constructions, so when purchasing facing plates and fastening systems to them, it is necessary to check the compatibility and availability of the attached instructions for the implementation of installation work.

It is clear that if it is planned to install panels on the subsystem, the framework elements must be arranged in accordance with the feature of this model.

Most. simple sight Fastening possess plastic panelsmanufactured according to the principle of siding design. They have a special perforated mounting bar at the top, through the holes of which the stove and fixes on the wall or frame. In this case, horizontal elements of the crates are fixed on the wall surface, at a distance of the visible part of the plate.

Installation of any facing panels begins with the bottom of the wall, usually - from the angular elements.

Homemade wall design options for brickwork

If desired, to save, making the brickwork imitation on one of the walls of the apartment or the home personally, you can use the original techniques developed by the folk craftsmen.

Several options are distributed that will not require special costs of buying facing plates or panels, and also do not create special difficulties in the installation:

• An independent manufacture of polystyrene tiles with a thickness of 10 ÷ 12 mm. For this purpose, it is recommended to use extruded material with higher operational indicators than the usual white foam.
• Creating a brick laying relief using a stencil.
• Reproduction of the desired pattern on the wall using painting scotch.

Tile "Under Brick" made of polystyrene foam

If you are planned in the manufacture of tiles to apply the process of melting the edges of the foam, then work should be carried out in the open air, protecting the respiratory tract with the respirator, since this material is combustible, and toxic substances, during combustion and melting.

• The first step on the prepared aligned and primed wall surface, using a line, plumb, construction level and a simple pencil, the "brick masonry" markup is made. The wall is drawn on the horizontal strips and vertical partitions that determine the size of the brick and seams between them and masonry rows.
• The second step is made of the sheet of polystyrene foam on the tiles of the selected size.

• Then the material is cut on separate elements Stationery knife. The number of such blocks must correspond to the number of bricks necessary for the design of a certain section of the wall, on which markup was made.

• Further, in order to achieve the most reliable imitation effect of bricks, you need to work on the resulting tile - this can be done in different ways. Its surface is treated with emery paper in different or one direction, a knife or other sharp tool on it are made notches and furrows. You can use and preheated soldering iron for these purposes.

Another option is to melting the edges and the outer side of the tile using a conventional lighter or burner. In this case, the facial surface acquires soft smoothed shapes.

• After staining the tile in the selected color, its relief will be more pronounced. Application of paint can be made before mounting the tile or after the wall cladding is fully completed.

Staining can be made using a brush or spray painting composition From the cylinder. The main thing is that the paint does not cause dissolution or softening expanded polystyrene - the compositions on an organic basis are better not to experiment, preferred with water-soluble.

• Laying foam tiles is made on the wall markup with the "liquid nails" glue, which is applied to the back surface with three points with a thickness of 3 ÷ 4 mm.
• The final stage will be the design of seams between bricks and rows.
• It should be noted that if the design does not provide for the allocation of intercutric seams by different color, then the staining of the facing can be made and after the grout solution is dry.

Imitation of brick masonry using stencil

In order to make a brickwork imitation using a stencil, a cement-based solution is required. It is best to purchase it in the form of a ready-made dry construction mixture for plastering, as it already has all the necessary additives that make it plastic and convenient for work.

The solution can be made independently of two materials - it is plastering and glue cement mixwhich are taken in proportions 1: 1. To increase the plasticity of the solution, a tablespoon of liquid is added to it. detergent on 5 kg of finished mixture.

• The wall should be well cleaned, primed and sucked.
• The solution can be applied to its surface with a wide spatula or just with a hand in the rubber glove. The thickness of the applied layer should be equal to the thickness of the stencil strips. This moment will depend on which surface should have a brick - smooth or rough.
• Further, so that the stencil does not have a "lipacy" with a layer of applied solution and easily separated from it, it should be moistened with water - this can be done with a sponge or wet fabric. If the stencil is made of rubber, it can be simply added to the pelvis with water, but in this case it is necessary to wait for its surplus stack, otherwise the excessive moisture can spoil all the work.
• After that, the stencil is pressed against the fresh plaster and gently pressed, so that the relief of brick masonry remains on it.
• Further, the stencil is removed and applied further, next to the relief just sold. Here you need to try and attach it so that the masonry is even, and there is no distortion of its horizontal seams.
• When the relief is applied to the entire surface, it is left until complete burials.
• After drying, the wall is fully covered with one color - usually light shades are selected for this, since any color will be applied to them, as well as highlight a dark tinge or leave the masonry sutures.

Brickwork imitation staining is already a creative process, so you can afford various fantasies. In this case, of course, it is necessary to keep in mind that the selected color will set the mood of the entire interior of the room.

Creating a relief of brick masonry with the help of plaster and painting scotch

For this technology, reproduction on the wall of imitation of brickwork, the composition of the cement plastering solution and greater tape will be required above the composition of the cement plastering solution. Some masters use even the isolate, however, it is worse to glue the wall, and high-quality malarious tape has excellent adhesion with any surface.

The width of the tape should be no more than 14 mm, and if it was not possible to find the tape of such a width, then you will have to buy a wider and carefully cut it right in the sweat in the width. If its edges are not perfectly smooth - it is quite unstable, since this factor will not affect the accuracy of the relief, and even, rather, will play on the arm.

• The first step, the prepared surface of the facing wall is drawn under brickwork.

• Further, all the intended lines on the wall paste a greater tape. It should be fixed so that the edges of the horizontal segments of the Scotch come out beyond the edges of the surface being drawn up, and they should not be applied to them, and the vertical segments should be well glued to the horizontal, be sure to be on top of them.
• Then, on the surface of the wall, on top of the braided grid of the tape, with a wide spatula, a solution is applied, a layer thickness of 5 ÷ 6 mm - the elevation height will depend on this parameter. Do not apply too thick layer, otherwise you will have to shut up the seams by grouting.
• After applying the solution completely on the entire wall, it is possible to walk with a hand in a damp rubber glove to create surface texture. If it is planned to leave the surface of "bricks" smooth, then you should not touch the layer of the solution.

• The most interesting stage in this method of imitation of brickwork is the removal of painting scotch, since the relief of the wall will be immediately visible after this operation. Several scotch strips are drawn with one of the free sides and begin to gently flip from the wall, and as a result, the seams between the "brick tiles" are formed on the site of the recessed tape. After removing the adhesion from the entire surface, the wall must be left until complete graze.

• The dried wall before staining is recommended to be primed - this operation will make the surface more supplied for the next stage - staining, as the paint will fall on the surface exactly and does not absorb the plaster layer. What shades to choose for the wall is already depends on the preference of the wizard.

From all the above, we can conclude that the construction market has an oversupply of various materials, ideally imitating brickwork or other stone surfaces. Sometimes the quality of imitation is that when finished finishing it is impossible to distinguish from the real brick on texture and color. Well, if the finished tiles or panels do not fit into the family budget, it is quite possible to use one of the more economical ways, and decorate the wall, applying for this reasonable materials.

For the interior decoration of the walls of the premises, various types of materials are used. They possess numerous differences, and they are chosen by the owners of apartments or houses in accordance with their desire and choice of a particular style. An excellent choice for any room is a tile under a brick for interior decoration, which is presented in different colors and views. Using several different shades, an interesting and bright coating is formed. Material in demand is the material among designers, because it makes it possible to implement unique and unusual ideas. The photo of the result is represented in the selection. However, it is necessary to use the material that imitates the brick, it is necessary very carefully, because they often have a certain style that you can spoil. It is suitable for some interiors, because it will look ridiculously indoors made in the style of High-tech. However, an excellent choice is considered if several styles are combined in the same room.

There are many types of tiles that provide the creation of a coating that imitating brickwork. They are formed from a variety of materials, and also differ in color and view.

Regardless of the production of raw materials, a material with positive parameters is obtained:

• long service life due to the fact that usually products are covered with a special protective layer providing their long service life;
• environmental purity, since the facing tile, intended for internal work, is made exclusively from safe and natural components;
• versatility allowing finishing work in a completely any room, no matter what operating conditions are established;
• resistance to the effects of numerous chemicals;
• easy to eliminate various contaminants from the created coating, which facilitates the process of care for it;
• a magnificent appearance allows you to create a finish, perfectly inscribed in different styles interior;
• differs long service life;
• it is elastic, so the finishing of internal or external angles is easily performed without the need to cut individual elements;
• the tile under the brick for interior decoration in large quantities varieties, so chosen optimal option;
• there is no need to lay the clamp or use reinforcing grids;
• the installation of the coating is considered simple and operational, so a person who has no work experience can perform work in this area.

It should be remembered about some minuses. The disadvantages include the fragility of the material, so if transportation or laying will be carried out carelessly, then the likelihood of spoiling a large number of tiles. Some manufacturers that are unfair, produce materials that are characterized by low quality and high-quality price, so you need to choose a tile carefully.

Tiles under brick for interior decoration

Since internal work is planned, the materials will not be influenced by numerous negative factors of the atmosphere, to which the high humidity or temperature change relates, so the decorative tile under the brick used indoors does not have resistance to these effects. Photos of different tiles are widely represented below, and it is important to decide in advance whether it is necessary to make a complete imitation or it is enough to form a coating that remotely resembles a brickwork.

Tile under the brick can be represented in the form of holistic bricks or several rows. In the second embodiment, simplified and operational laying is provided, since elements have large sizes, as well as when they are installed, it is necessary only to follow the chess order of laying. If you use the elements presented in the form of individual bricks, then the coating is obtained, which is practically no different from standard brickwork. In accordance with the materials used in the process, species are distinguished.

Material to create	Features of tiles
Clinker	Usually used for finishing facades, but fits and for internal work. The clinker tile is formed by firing a special shale clay, and the process is implemented under specific conditions. This makes it possible to obtain a material that is durable and resistant to numerous exposure. Clinker tiles are selected if it is planned to make repairs for many years. It is easy to use, and also produced in numerous colors. It is possible to perform its laying on different types of foundations. The clinker tile has a sufficiently high price due to its numerous positive parameters.
Ceramic	It is considered affordable and manufactured in numerous varieties. If it is planned to perform the facing of various fireplaces or even kitchen ApronThe refractory facing tile is selected.
Polymer cement	Differs low cost and ease of use. However, its quality is considered not too high. Presented in several colors and textures.
Gypsum	The material is distinguished by fragility and low weight. Gypsum tileimitating brick is considered the perfect choice To perform work indoors. If you view her photos, you can make sure in the high attractiveness of the material. Initially, the gypsum tile is released only in white, but in the process of production it is painted in a variety of shades.

Thus, a wall tile is produced, imitating bricks, from different materials, depending on which its main parameters are determined.

Ceramic
Clinker
Gypsum

Terms of choice of material

To get a beautiful coating from this tile, it is important to competently approach its choice. It is presented in many species, and they differ not only by the material of production, but also the texture, coloring and other numerous parameters.

2. After a complete drying of the wall, you can start the wall laying under the tile. By level, the horizontal line is measured, on which the first series of fragments will be laid.

3. Laying, usually begins with an angle and is conducted in the ranks. Ideally, it is important to calculate the number of tiles for each row so that the hole for the switch or the outlet should be cut only on one fragment, and not combine several "puzzles".

4. Next, the cladding itself is performed. For this, on small plot The surface is applied with a thickness of 0.5 cm, the grooves are formed on it, and the tile is pressed. To form smooth seams, you can use "cross", just choose the largest to simulate the masonry structure to the most reliably.

5. Extreme tiles and lower row, usually you have to trim with a grinder. If non-individual tiles were used, and blocks of several fragments - they are placed in the joint in the joint and also customize in size in the right places.

6. After cladding the entire surface, the seams are processed by grouting with a narrow spatula. It may be sulfur "under cement" or color, to highlight each fragment. For wall decoration in residential rooms You can use a conventional cement solution, and for a wet atmosphere, the bathroom is still better sealing the seams by a professional moisture-resistant grout.
