The correct solution for cladding the floor and steps would be to use clinker , both glazed and unglazed. In the photo on the right you can see how beautiful it looks.
The advantages of this solution : 1) the background tiles are equipped with steps; 2) excellent technical characteristics of the material even with high abrasive effects and movement of carts on rubber wheels; 3) the coating looks attractive and expensive; 4) visitors treat such coverage more carefully; 5) there is a possibility of a design solution.
Disadvantages of this solution : 1) high final cost (1 sq.m of tiles from 1500 to 2000 rubles, steps 300-400 rubles per piece, work of a master 800-1000 rubles per 1 sq.m); 2) daily care is required to maintain high aesthetic properties.
Aden , thanks for the comment, I really forgot to include waterproofing in the list of materials. I'm filling the gap.
Waterproofing . So, the floors in both rooms require mandatory waterproofing. In places where the floor adjoins the surface of walls, partitions and other building structures, waterproofing is applied to vertical surfaces to a height of at least 200 mm, and if a stream of water can hit the walls, to the soaking height. In our particular case, it is better to use two-component waterproofing. At a consumption of 1.5 kg/m2 we will need about 20 kg. Tape and patches made of elastic, water-repellent material are also needed. You need 20 meters of tape, 5 plasters.
Olga Vladimirovna , at your request we can offer several options for store cladding. I will provide information in several messages. By the way, regarding the main question: tiles or porcelain stoneware ? In my opinion, it is set incorrectly, because... Porcelain stoneware is also tile. But I think I got the gist and will provide the necessary information.
So, option one. He was essentially voiced by Vovka . Technical porcelain tiles are really suitable. The advantages of this solution : 1) there are steps leading up to the background tile; 2) excellent technical characteristics of the material even with high abrasive effects and movement of carts; 3) cost of 1 sq.m. tiles cost about 400 rubles. 4) the tiles can be laid directly on the old cladding (if it holds up well), because the thickness of the glue + tile will be only 10-15 mm. Disadvantages of this solution : 1) limited design possibilities, tiles of a “very simple look”. 2) the steps will look “simple”.
1. Bathroom (LxWxH) - 295x215x245, toilet (LxW) - 150x215, cladding height 110 cm. 2. Wall tiles 15x15 cm, floor tiles 30x30 cm. 3. Wall - brick + gypsum plaster + lime whitewash, floor - cement screed + linoleum. 4. Plumbing lines for risers to appliances have been installed. 5. The bathtub is installed on legs; I don’t plan to cover it or wall it up. 6. Hooks and brackets for hanging sanitary fixtures have been supplied.
You can estimate the required materials :
Tile . For the floor in the bathroom you will need 75 pieces, for the floor in the toilet you will need 38 pieces, size 30x30 cm. Accordingly, for the walls 1063 pieces and 330 pieces, size 15x15 cm.
Primer . The total area of the walls of the bathroom and toilet is 25 + 18 = 43 m2. Primer consumption is 0.2 kg/m2, i.e. 8.6 kg required. Since the walls are lined with gypsum plaster, an insulating primer such as Primer A Eco will be required. The total floor area is 6.3 + 3.2 = 9.5 m2, i.e. 1.9 kg required. Since the floor is a cement screed, any primer can be used.
Tile adhesive or cement mortar . In our example, to lay tiles on the floor and wall, you can use tile adhesive with adhesion from 0.5 MPa (class C1). If porcelain tiles were laid on the floor, then tile adhesive with adhesion of 1 MPa (class C2) would be needed. When laying tiles measuring 15x15 cm, the trowel tooth size is 6 mm, consumption is 2.7 kg/m2; tiles measuring 30x30 cm, spatula tooth size 10 mm, consumption 4.2 kg/m2. Thus, for the walls you need 31 m2 * 2.7 kg/m2 = 84 kg of glue, and for the floor 9.5 m2 * 4.2 kg/m2 = 40 kg. Total 84 + 40 = 124 kg. Or 5 bags of 25 kg. Or 124 kg of cement mortar.
Grout for joints . For the walls you will need 16 kg, for the floor 4.1 kg. Only 20 kg of grout.
Timofey, let’s look at this topic in detail using the example of your bathroom and toilet. For advice and discussion, you must first clarify the information. Specifically interested in the following:
Bathroom dimensions (length, width, height). For the toilet - length, width, height of the lining.
Tile format for walls and floors, as well as water absorption for floor tiles.
Construction and base material (separately for walls and floors).
Plumbing pipes for risers to appliances (heating, plumbing) were installed and pressed together.
Bath installed.
Plugs, hooks and brackets for hanging sanitary fixtures have been supplied.
Olga Vladimirovna, in order to give you practical advice, it is necessary to clarify the following questions: 1. Will the repairs in the store affect only the floor or will you also cover the walls with tiles? 2. Stairs indoors or outdoors? Or are we talking about a couple of steps at the entrance? 3. What material is currently used as a coating? 4. Is it possible to afford the use of tiles costing 1000-2000 rubles m2? 5. What is the traffic in the store 10, 50, 100 people per day? 6. Will there be wheeled carts moving around the store?
The advantages of this solution :
1) the background tiles are equipped with steps;
2) excellent technical characteristics of the material even with high abrasive effects and movement of carts on rubber wheels;
3) the coating looks attractive and expensive;
4) visitors treat such coverage more carefully;
5) there is a possibility of a design solution.
Disadvantages of this solution :
1) high final cost (1 sq.m of tiles from 1500 to 2000 rubles, steps 300-400 rubles per piece, work of a master 800-1000 rubles per 1 sq.m);
2) daily care is required to maintain high aesthetic properties.
