The border for the bathroom, which closes the joints between the bathroom and the walls, is an indispensable element of the finish of this room. After all, no matter how smooth the walls are, and no matter how tightly the bath approaches them, the water will sooner infiltrate into the holes and seams between them, if they are not reliably closed.
Plastic curb for bath
There are three main types of curbs for the bathroom: plastic, acrylic and ceramic. And in each kind can be identified several more options that can be used in the finish .
The border of PVC for the bathroom is sold ready. Most often it has a triangular shape and can be glued either over the tile or under it. This curb is fixed to the silicone adhesive. Installation can be easily done by yourself. The PVC material has a huge number of color solutions and design options, so it's not difficult to find the right model.
Self-adhesive border for the bath is made of elastic plastic tape, one side of which is treated with a special adhesive composition and covered with a protective layer of paper. This is the fastest way to finish the curb in the bathroom. Simply measure the right amount of tape, cut it off, tear off the protective paper on the adhesive layer and glue the tape to the wall and bath. The curb is ready.
Acrylic curbs for bath
The acrylic border looks much more presentable than the plastic version. Especially well it will look in those rooms where acrylic is already used in the decor. Such curbs are more durable than PVC versions, but they also cost more, and it is very difficult to carry out the installation yourself.
Tile curb for bath
Previously, in order to make a tile curb, it was necessary to cut the tile and fix it in a special way. Now the market has a large selection of ready-made tile borders of different colors, so it's not difficult to get a suitable bathroom design. However, the installation of such a curb is better entrusted to professionals, in order to avoid damage to the material.
A variation of the tile is the decorative border of the mosaic for the bathroom. The material itself dictates the need for complex and painstaking work, although the result in the end is simply magnificent. Working with mosaic requires certain skills, and if there is a developed project, the selection of the required parts can take a large amount of time. Therefore, it is also better to resort to the help of a specialist when working with such unusual material.
Thus, the most suitable and simple for self-assembly is the option of a curb for a bathroom made of plastic.
