The bathtub closes the gap between the walls and the bathroom. Given high humidity in the room, preference is given to plastic or ceramic varieties of the product. Plastic skirting boards have a rubberized edge, which prevents moisture in the bath. The moisture -proof properties of a ceramic skirting board are determined by a feature of its installation and grout of the seams.
The advantage of plastic skirting boards is the simple dismantling of the product and the possibility of repeated operation. The disadvantage is the need for an absolutely flat wall, which will provide maximum fit and prevent the appearance of cracks. For additional waterproofing, sealants are used. Many varieties of plastic skirting boards have a special gap for laying the wire. Do not forget to come here and choose a new bath there.
Ceramic plinth is highly resistant to mechanical influences, but does not imply temporary dismantling. It is necessary to choose material for the manufacture of skirting boards simultaneously with tiles, you can make a ceramic skirting board from the material remaining after facing the bathroom. Especially high -quality should be grouting the seams between the elements of ceramic skirting boards.
In the bathroom, there is practically no wood skirting board, if necessary, you can use MDF, but it will not be able to compete with plastic or ceramics. Ceramic and plastic skirting boards are characterized by ease of care and do not require the use of special means.
