What criteria affect the price of natural tiles
High cost – the main reproach addressed to natural tiles. The price of one square meter of ceramic tiles ranges from 1100-2500 rubles. Cement-sand tiles are cheaper: in the range of 240-490 rubles. Ceramic details sing about the same or cheaper. Prices for materials of the main competitors of natural tiles: metal tile, soft tile is about 2-3 times lower (not required for our case of meticulous accuracy). And here she loses.
In the second part, we will try to determine the cost of maintaining for the full service life. Over 100-120 years of service, you will have to replace 15-20 % of ceramic tiles (fragile, nothing can be done). If it is unglazed, then periodically it will have to wash and clean the dirt. However, manufacturers also offer self -cleaning tiles, for example, the tile of the Lotus series Erlus AG.
