The flexibility of the material allows you to design arches, socles and pediments, and not just smooth wall surfaces.

  Styling features

The material is laid similarly to ceramic tiles. First, the surface is leveled and prepared for it, then the surface is wetted with water and cement glue is applied to it. Glue must be applied to both surfaces, the wall and the tile, so prepare the material in advance, and if necessary, cut the tile with metal scissors. It is better to apply it horizontally on the wall and vertically on the tile to ensure better adhesion of materials. Be sure to leave a seam between the tiles. If you need to stick to a complex shape, you need to soak the ceramics or use a hairdryer. If necessary, the material can be washed with water and cleaning products, but without abrasive.
