Why does it “hurt” so much: the suffering that relief tiles bring
Relief tiles with a pronounced texture undoubtedly look mega-impressive and add brightness and style to the interior. Moreover, it doesn’t matter at all where exactly it is located: on the walls in the bathroom or in the kitchen, on the floor in the hallway. It is appropriate everywhere and, interestingly, many choose this particular finishing option.
But it is worth noting that over time, the joy from such a design evaporates somewhere, because relief tiles can significantly waste both your strength and nerves.
Why you should not choose relief tiles
In fact, when renovating, few people think about the little things: the design of interior doors, the facades of the kitchen unit, the prints on the wallpaper and, most importantly, the texture of the tiles. The main thing is that it is nice and the soul is happy. But this is a very serious mistake, because it is these little things that can significantly ruin the life of any person. When renovating, it is very important to pay attention to all the points that may seem insignificant to you at first.
Relief tiles fit perfectly into any interior, look perfect both on the walls and on the floor, and fit perfectly into the concept of any design and philosophy of life. But! We promise you that very little time will pass and you will simply hate this amazing relief with every fiber of your purest soul.
The most interesting thing is that people who preferred textured or rough tiles, after six months, spit and clutch their heads: “Why did we choose this option?”Yes, it really looks cool, and in various combinations it can completely transform the appearance of any room. But why do many people regret this choice? Here's why:
- The relief simply somehow magically collects all the dirt. It seems that dust and plaque are just waiting for you to lay the tiles to firmly settle in all these depressions and depressions. In fact, it is pollution that causes even the highest quality tiles to lose their shine over time, turn yellow, darken, shades fade, and the coating becomes not very attractive.
- Material with a pronounced texture (and even more so with roughness) is, to put it mildly, very difficult to wash. To clean a square meter of such coating, you will have to spend twice as much time compared to smooth options. And if it is also a natural stone, then you will have to additionally select special cleaning products, and they are not that cheap.
Cleaning the finish becomes several times more complicated when it comes to the hallway. If you took a chance and laid this option on the floor near the front door, then be sure that every six months you will collect a bucket of dirt from these hated depressions and roughness (of course, this is exaggerated).
Therefore, when choosing tiles for renovation, be sure to evaluate your capabilities: are you ready to constantly clean debris from the textured coating, deal with grease and dust, and buy expensive household chemicals. If not, then better look at the smooth option. Although textured tiles look several times cooler, they can really ruin your life.
