Designing Modern Bathroom’s With MYK LATICRETE

Since bathrooms are spaces that we use every day, their importance is far greater than we tend to give them credit for. From bright and cheery to sophisticated and minimalistic, modern bathrooms have gone beyond the usual to transform dull bathrooms into fantastic relaxation and refreshing spaces.

However, for these bathrooms to become sanctuaries of cleanliness and comfort, a great deal of work goes into their making. When the bathroom layout is designed, the types of fixtures, furnishings, and tiles play important roles.

A good contractor also gives equal importance to the type of material used in the construction and tile and stone installation of the bathroom. If inferior products or traditional materials are used, it can lead to problems in the future, such as cracked, chipped, or loose tiles underlining the fact that the problem lies with the material below or between the tiles – such as the tile-joint or the grout.

Why is the tile-joint important? Because, whether the tile is traditional ceramic, porcelain, or a quarry tile or natural stone, it is critical that the spaces between the tiles be adequately filled with a material that prevents moisture from seeping down to the underlayment.

If this happens, the tiles suffer from water damage which can lead to chipping or cracking. This can take place especially in the corners as this is where the water accumulates and/or near the tap and shower fixtures as these are places of water sources.

In addition to this, tile joints can easily stain or grow mildewed propagating an unhygienic environment. These are a few important reasons one needs to be aware of the right tile-joint while tiling bathrooms.

When installing tiles in a bathroom shower, the right type of tile-joint provides an effective seal against dirt and mildew and the assurance that you are protecting your tiles from water damage while providing an aesthetically pleasing element of decor.

MYK LATICRETE formulated a tile joint which is ideal for just such applications.
