December 31, 2019

When finishing work, it is important to determine the optimal size of the tile for the object. That is why before you go to the hardware store for shopping, you need to get additional information about the dimensions of ceramic tiles. Today the range of goods is so large, that each category should be considered separately.

Today, the range of ceramic tiles in stores is just huge

wall models

Considering, what are the dimensions of wall tiles, pay attention to the bypass shape of the product. There are such models:

  • square;
  • rectangular.

Varieties of tile shapes

The standard sizes of a ceramic tile for walls are established within 150х150 mm. Common options are 100x100 mm and 200x200 mm.

The sizes of a rectangular wall tile differ in the big variety. The standard is considered to be the format of ceramic facing 200x300 mm. exept this, distinguish the following ratios of parameters, as:

  • 25x150;
  • 75x150;
  • 100x150;
  • 100х200;
  • 150х200;
  • 150х225;
  • 250х300;
  • 250х333;
  • 275х400;
  • 150х900;
  • 300х900.

Some manufacturers may produce samples of tiles for their unique sizes. Some of them can reach the parameters of the tile when finishing the floor.

In order to line the wall with the optimal material, you should pay attention to several factors. First of all, you need to focus on the total area of ​​the room. Too large elements narrow the space, but small ones are not always appropriate. In addition, the fewer details, the more time it takes to process and there is a risk of mismatch at the seams. Also at selection of a wall tile consider the scheme of its apportionment and arrangement of furniture indoors.

The combination of tiles of different sizes looks interesting

Facing tiles

When choosing a ceramic floor tile, its size plays an equally important role, than when finishing walls. In this case, the choice is complicated by that, that not only standard formats are available for work, but also products of more complex forms. They can be combined to create interesting schemes and drawings on the floor surface.

It is worth noting the standard size for square floor tiles, which is most often used in private households is 300x300 mm. Also for the floor treatment can be performed from the following fragments:

  • Square: 48h48, 100х100, 150x150, 200х200, 250х250.
  • Rectangular: 100х200, 150х200, 150х300, 200’300, 300х400.
  • Pentagon: 86,5x150, 98х170, 115х200.
  • Hexagon: 150h173, 170х196, 200x230.
  • Triangular: 58x83, 68x97, 83х118, 98х139.

The main forms of floor tiles

The sizes of non-standard quadrilateral floor tiles are also available: 75h173, 85х196, 100x230. If we talk about octagonal elements, their parameters may be as follows: 60x85x170 mm and 70x100x200 mm.

When choosing a ceramic tile for flooring, you must take into account the area of ​​the room, especially the open part, intended for facing. For optimal design and visual expansion of space you need to choose the most suitable scheme of calculation of elements and consider the ratio of fragments of different configurations.

With the help of rectangular tiles you can visually extend that part of the room, along which the long side of a tile keeps within.

mosaics

Mosaic should be singled out in a separate category. This category of finishing materials does not belong to the standard tile, as its size is much smaller. Mosaic is a miniature piece of pottery, glass or stone, from which it is possible to create the whole pictures or simply a covering with the interesting invoice.

Mosaic is a universal material. It is used for walls, and floors, as well as other surfaces. With its help it is possible to hide roughnesses at the minimum expense of glue, which is impossible when using dimensional products.

Mosaic tile options

The size of a tile in a mosaic matrix can vary from 10х10 mm to 50х50 mm. There are also samples with rectangular components or round fragments. All this allows you to create unique surfaces.

Which material to choose - you need to decide only after drawing up a design scheme and determining the characteristics of surfaces, facing. In most cases, you need to focus on your own taste preferences, but we must not forget about the above recommendations.
