Decorative possibilities of ceramic tile

Ceramic tile is now a full-fledged interior decoration. Therefore, turning to her, you should know not only about its performance, but also the decorative possibilities. Since the wall inside the premises are subject to little mechanical stress, for wall tiles is the most important aesthetic element. Today we tell about the traditional decorative elements found in the collections of wall tiles. Usually they include background (basic) tiles and decorative elements (inserts, panels, borders). A simple insert a decorative element in the collections of ceramic wall tiles - a single insertion. This is one tile pattern or a pattern that differs from the background that animates one-color surface and creates a color spot on the wall. Most often, single inserts used in bathrooms and kitchen, "an apron" (the so-called surface of the wall between the pedestals and shelves mounted kitchen units). Typically, inserts for "apron" directly relevant facilities: usually they represent the fruits, vegetables, flowers, pastoral scenes, etc. Format kitchen inserts often small - 10x10 cm or 20x20 cm inserts bathrooms have no restrictions on the format, but their themes are more varied: different patterns, ancient stories, pictures, fish, ships and other maritime attributes. In addition, there are special inserts for children's bathrooms - with a cartoon character or funny little animals. Insert is placed on the surface of the wall at regular intervals or, conversely, chaotic. In contrast to borders, they are not an indispensable attribute of the collection. For example, in collections of high-tech non-existent. Along with decorative function of the individual inserts are of practical importance - the so-called functional insert. For example, some factories provide for registration of a bathroom or kitchen tiles and tile-hooks, soap dishes, on which hang towels, kitchen utensils, etc. Panels Decorative panels - is to insert, usually made of two, three or more tiles. However, there are decorative panels, and from one tile, which is on a format more background tile collection. Panels of either a complete "work of art (painting on ceramics or bas-relief), and drawn from the individual tiles. Panno-frisayz. For decorative panels and tracks are not having a clear shape and size. They are called in English the word "frisayz (" free size "). As a rule, a panel-frisayz consists of two or three tiles with different patterns, from which we can draw a vertical composition of any height. For example, depicted on the wall column, sunflower or liana. Initial and final element of such a panel has a well defined image, and the intermediate tiles are absolutely identical. Thus the height of the column (or flower) is determined by the number of secondary elements. Another type of panel-frisayz looks like an arbitrary figure that does not have clear boundaries. It may be, for example, placer colors or randomly arranged geometric shapes. To achieve this effect, the image is of two types of tiles. Some are covered with a picture completely, the other - in half. Depending on the number of tiles and other types and combinations of panels may have a completely different form and shape. Borders Traditional border - is a narrow horizontal strip of ceramic with a particular, usually repetitive pattern or relief. On a collection of wall tiles are often invited to several borders of different widths, aged in the same style - wide, narrow and curbs, "pencils." The latter are convex narrow strip, which either completes the tiled masonry, or a complement to traditional curb. When installing curbs used a variety of techniques, allowing to achieve individuality in the design of the walls. With classic horizontal installation is usually shared border tiles in two colors (usually dark bottom and light top). Another option - when the border, passing near the ceiling, is the completion of tile laying. Vertical stacking allows curb not only give the surface a non-standard form, but also serves a practical function, say in the allocation of certain areas. There are special vertical edges, but in most cases, this role supports the usual horizontal border, just stacked vertically. With the help of horizontal and vertical curb at the same time laying on the wall to create a drawing of intersecting lines. Laying the curb at random - this is when it is placed in a checkerboard pattern or even randomly. With this approach, it is not just a decorative wall decoration, but also allows beautifully around the potential interference, such as plumbing fixtures. Options for placement in this case very much, and what to choose, solve the customer and the designer. A combination of several types of borders. One of the most common types of installation - the use of not one but several kinds of borders. For example, the traditional border may be fringed edging, "pencil" - as one side or both. Often the edges are used not only as decoration but also as a functional element. For example, as a frame for a mirror, built in the wall. Laths of the borders. Using the border, you can manually do an insert. To do this, cut the background tiles and lay on it a few curbs (for example, two, three, four). There are several options for laying tile. The classic sign of virtually everything: a light top, dark bottom, and between the curb. But it can do something interesting. In particular, apply a double border. In this case, the wall does not share a border on two sections (top and bottom) and three (top, middle part and bottom), and the emphasis is on the middle part. This way of stacking provides much more flexibility in design than the previous one, because it allows to use the tiles are not two but three species and several types of borders. Another promising and modern method - the zoning area. Usually it is used when necessary to make a composite focus on a fairly large part of the wall. Say, a visual highlight the space under the sink. To this end, the walls in the room veneer background tiles. Then take another tile background color or image and spread it over the vertical scroll zone basin. There is another way to achieve the same effect: you can take a box, offered in this collection, and put it over the block area washbasin. Inserts, panels and borders allow you to make the interior even more variety than it could have been obtained by the color, pattern, texture or form of tiles. It's like a kaleidoscope: a few colored steklyshek give amazing, every time a unique picture. Collections are good because they all decorative elements are designed in a similar style, but they can be freely combined to create a standard set offers a unique, individual design.
