What is this hog tile and why is it called

This unusual name of the material is due to the presence of 2 holes from the end of the tile. These holes are covered with ingot glaze, and due to this, the finish resembles a boar piglet. This was the reason for the appearance of such a name.

Today, “wild boar” is called monophonic elongated tile, close to the size of a brick

Due to the fact that the tile has the shape of a rectangle, it can be used to simulate brickwork. The volume of the tile visually seems larger and more textured due to the slightly beveled end facet. There are models without such an edge, and contrasting grout is responsible for the texture in this case.

Chamfered chamfers give the ceramic surface a more lively and original look.

Selection tips

The most important parameter when choosing finishing materials is the size of the room. As a rule, most bathrooms cannot boast not only large, but even medium sizes. If you select the wrong material, there is a risk of visually making the space even smaller. To avoid this, choosing a tile, you need to take into account the advice of professionals.

1. For small rooms, it is optimal to use a small-sized tile: this will help visually make the space larger. Large tiles should not be used, it is better to leave it for laying in more spacious rooms.
2. If the tile is laid vertically, then visually the room becomes higher, the same with horizontal masonry - the room will visually appear wider. In small spaces, the diagonal stacking method can also be used.
3. In small rooms it is better to pick up light colors, it can be several matching shades.
4. Large prints, murals, large patterns - all this is suitable only for spacious bathrooms.
5. For a small bathroom, you can not use any drawings at all, or make a few small accents in the form of small drawings.
6. Finishing with a mirror surface will visually increase the space. It can become the basis for an entire mirror wall or part thereof.
7. It is not worth using dark or bright borders in a small bathroom as a decoration, you should also avoid dividing into a light upper part of the wall and the lower dark one.

In large rooms, tiles are better laid out in the classical way with offset

Required Requirements

Materials for finishing the bathroom need to be selected especially carefully, since they must meet certain requirements. Otherwise, there is a risk that the service life will be very short. Consider the necessary requirements.

1. Moisture resistant. The tile should not absorb moisture, and there is a lot of moisture in the space of the bathroom. If the material absorbs moisture, then with increased humidity it will fail very quickly, mold and fungus will appear, and the appearance will not change for the better. Among other things, the tile can simply fall off due to the fact that it becomes heavy. To determine the level of moisture resistance, you need to look at the back of the tile: there should be almost no pores on it.
2. Resistant to cleaning. For tidying in the bathroom, aggressive or chemical cleaners are almost always used. They will fall both on the tile and on the seams at the junction. Tiles that are not resistant to such substances will quickly lose their appearance.
3. Flatness on all sides. To check this, you can look at a stack of folded tiles: if the distance differs by at least a millimeter, this is a bad indicator. Laying such a tile will be problematic, the seams will be uneven.
4. No damage. Chips and cracks should not be, the picture should be distributed evenly. If the pattern on one tile differs in color or size, it is most likely a marriage. It is better not to purchase such material. It is also important to pay attention to the fact that there are no irregularities, and the color is high-quality and deep.
