Currently, a type of finishing material such as mosaic is becoming increasingly popular among consumers. This is not surprising. After all, it is not only quite practical, but also one of the most beautiful materials used for finishing both walls and floors. But in order for mosaic floors to last long enough, you should take into account some features of the choice of mosaic as a finishing material.
Choosing the right mosaic
In principle, there are no special difficulties – the mosaic on the floor is selected depending on the location of its installation, more precisely, the type of room and the degree of load on the floor. So, let’s start in order. For the floor in the bathroom, you can choose any of the proposed types of mosaics – glass, ceramic or porcelain stoneware, since the load on the floor in this room is minimal.

Also, any type of mosaic can be used for kitchen floors.

But the choice of mosaic for the shower floor should be approached with special care – it must have zero water absorption. Therefore, the best option for mosaic flooring in such a room is glass mosaic.

You should approach the choice of mosaic tiles for the hallway floors with no less attention. It is clear that hallway floors are subject to the heaviest loads and the mosaic in this case must have a high degree of wear resistance. Therefore, it is most advisable to use ceramic or porcelain mosaics for the floor in the hallway, which have increased strength. But glass mosaic (although beautiful, but quite fragile) in this case will quickly lose its aesthetics due to scratches from shoes and small particles of soil.

And in conclusion, a small nuance. Despite the fact that the choice of mosaic type is somewhat limited by the characteristics of the room, there are practically no restrictions in choosing the color of this flooring. In addition, you can decorate the floor with an original pattern by purchasing special mosaic kits, where the component parts of the pattern are already applied to an adhesive base.
