Wall tiles calibrated
Wall tiles from the online shop are a convenient and pleasant way to buy tiles. The purchase takes place independently of business opening hours and also on weekends or public holidays, the purchase can take place. Thereafter, the tiles are conveniently and comfortably delivered to the desired delivery address. We offer you a broad spectrum, as far as tiles and also targeted wall tiles are concerned. So you can achieve with our product range any result that can be implemented in the field of tiles. For wall tiles there is a very large selection of different variants. One version of the wall tiles is called calibrated. What does it actually mean when wall tiles are calibrated and what results from this property? For such wall tiles, the edge is calibrated. This means that these tiles make especially narrow joints possible and that a very flat laying pattern can be achieved by the wall tiles "calibrated" which in turn gives the rooms a modern and generous character - without disturbing wide joints. This laying technique with small joints, which is made possible by calibrated tiles, is pleasantly modern and thus matches the modern style of living.
How are wall tiles calibrated and what is the advantage of the calibration?
The technique of calibrating wall tiles, while easy to understand, is complicated by a complex process. If wall tiles are calibrated, then the wall tiles are precisely cut to a fixed dimension - also referred to as the production dimension - after the respective firing process. So the wall tiles get very straight 90-degree edges. Are wall tiles calibrated, then it is possible to lay these tiles almost seamless. If wall tiles are used calibrated, then three mm joint width when laying the wall tiles are already very large. Quite often, joint widths of 1.5 to 2 millimeters are sufficient for laying when the tiles are calibrated. Thus, the wall tiles calibrated in the installation act rather like a piece, which means that such a tile wall makes the entire room appear larger and more spacious, because the wall tile calibrated forms a uniform total area. Another practical side effect when wall tiles are calibrated lies in the fact that the very narrow joints also significantly reduce the maintenance of the tile wall compared to the wall tile, which is not calibrated and thus requires a larger joint. This means that calibrated wall tiles especially in bathrooms are a very nice and hygienic solution. In wet rooms, moldings develop very quickly in the joints of the tiles. These can be avoided or at least reduced by a very small gap which is calibrated in wall tiles.
Are there any disadvantages if the wall tiles are calibrated?
If wall tiles are used that have been calibrated, then due to the very small gaps, the joints must be laid precisely. Especially on larger surfaces, the calibrated tiles quickly result in an unclean and less smooth installation pattern, if not installed in a completely professional and correct way. Even the smallest bumps when laying cause the joints of the tiles are minimally over each other. The effect of the large area is then quickly lifted again. So if wall tiles are to be used which are calibrated, it is worthwhile in any case to oblige a professional for the laying work, in order to achieve a really perfect and satisfactory result.
