Choosing a practical corner for the bathroom
Bathroom is a room where moisture is constantly concentrated. It settles on the walls, accumulates in corners and niches, gets to places where it is impossible to get to eliminate it. For example, if there is at least a small gap between the bathroom and the wall, water will penetrate there during showering or other water procedures, and this leads to the appearance of fungus and mold. To avoid this, it is most convenient to use the corners for the bathroom. They are divided into two main types: the first are mounted on top of the tile, the second are stacked under it. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages.
PVC overhead angles
More common and economical option - a corner for a bathroom made of PVC, which is installed over the edge of the bath and tiles.
At the relative cheapness this material has a number of lacks: in due course it can turn yellow from influence of hot water, to start to be peeled off, and also to propagation of a mold. Many users say that in the original form of such a corner for the bathroom will last about a year.
Mounting the angle under the tile
The corner, which is installed under the tile, is more practical, because it will last a long time and will be protected from moisture. However, its installation is carried out only during the cladding of walls and preferably by the hands of an experienced master. Of course, this affects the price, but the result will stay about five years unchanged. Such corners are made of PVC or ceramic. The first must be covered with tiles, and the latter can be used as an independent decorative element. The gaps between the tiles are sealed with a special mortar to protect the joints, a trowel that will protect the corner from mold for a long time.
Right choice
More practical is the option to install a bathroom corner for the tile - it is less visible and prone to moisture, and also more durable. But if your plans do not include a large-scale renovation of the bathroom, the overhead corner will do. And if you entrust its installation to a professional, this element of decor will be insignificantly inscribed in the bathroom interior.
