However, tiles have disadvantages.

Due to high humidity in the bathroom, the use of wooden or cloth finishing materials becomes impossible. Tile does not absorb moisture, does not swell. It is easy to wash. The glossy surface is excellently cleaned even without the use of detergents. Another advantage of tiles is its hygiene. It does not accumulate and does not contribute to the propagation of microorganisms, unlike wood. However, tiles have disadvantages. These are inter -seams. Without special processing, they become a nursery of microorganisms. In addition, moisture adversely affects the connecting material. As a result, it becomes loose and is not able to fix the tile. For greater reliability, tile glue for external work is used. In addition to the standard mixture of cement, it contains additives that increase its strength and resistance to moisture. There are also special grouts for seams that isolate the connecting material from the external environment. Most often these are waterproof half measures that remotely resemble a sealant. Another advantage of tiles is its durability. Over time, the pattern of tiles does not fade, and the coating remains perfectly smooth.
