Hard tile bathroom ceramic are available in a wide range of sizes, colors and patterns. Most glasses are, but if you need to seal unglazed tiles to prevent them covered with tile adhesive and grout.


For best results, and make your job easier, it is important to plan. Because most bathrooms are not completely square, is not a good idea to start the tile from the edge of the room, as if the walls are level, this imperfection will be visible in the tiles. It's much better to find the center of the bathroom and working toward the edges. The tiles are generally provided on a surface of the subfloor.
