For the convenience of the consumer in the catalog, the products are divided into collections for the bathroom and kitchen. Also in the catalog you can find mosaics, which are used not only for cladding, but also in decorative inserts.

Shakhtinskaya Tile is represented by collections that differ in style, colors, sizes and textures. The collection allows you to decorate a bathroom or any other room in a specific style. In order not to be mistaken in your choice, it is possible to look through catalogs or see options for finished works on the site. The official site offers to use the 3D modeling program, where you can try on the desired collection for a specific room.

A collection is a background and decorative elements united by one design.

Of all the variety of styles, classics, ethno and Mediterranean styles can be distinguished:

• In the classic variation light and dark tiles are combined. There is often a decorative element on the border of flowers. The classics in the Shakhtinskaya Tile catalog are presented in series:

1. Iris is a delicate combination of lilac and white with the addition of decorative inserts depicting iris flowers.
2. "Sevan" - conveys the beauty of the lake of the same name, or, more precisely, imitates the Armenian pink tuff.

• Ethnic style is especially popular today. Elements of African culture or ornaments of eastern countries will become a stylish decoration of the room. This style can be seen in the Selling series - lions and rock paintings will create a certain mood in the room.

• Mediterranean style combines natural colors, it is something fresh and cozy. Such tiles are often accompanied by panels and mosaics. The Andalusia series represents Spanish majolica.

Geometric shapes look very interesting and modern as a pattern. Designers advise using this style sparingly, since the abundance of the same type of geometric details can quickly tire. High-tech, retro, oriental styles are very popular.

When choosing tiles, designers advise not to pursue fashionable color schemes. Any color has an effect on a person, so it is important that you are as comfortable as possible in the room. It is not necessary to tie the style of the bathroom to the general style of the entire apartment. After all, this is a separate room for relaxation.

Shakhtinskaya Tile works with the designers of the Tosilab studio. Designers for the tile collection borrowed many ideas from nature and the surrounding world. For example:

• "Amalia" - tiles imitate silk textiles with floral patterns.

• "Adriano" - the tiles are similar to the texture of the stone.

• "Amalfi" is an imitation of a sunny sandy coast.

Most often, the bathroom and toilet are small spaces. Using large tiles will visually reduce the room. A good solution in this case would be to use glossy tiles in light colors. Tiles with a large pattern are also not suitable for a small room.

If you decide to use several colors in the design, it will be correct to use similar colors of the same series: yellow and orange, green and turquoise. This will expand the room a little, make it more interesting. The "Moiret" series just combines two related colors and looks luxurious.

Let's take a look at what variations of tiles are currently trending.

Many of these types are already in the Shakhty Tiles catalog, some will appear in future collections:

• Woody ornament is popular this year. Sometimes it is very difficult to understand that there is a tile in front of you, the texture is so similar. Wood is relevant both on the floor and on the walls. Looks equally good both in solid performance and in fragments. The combination of two shades of wood will make the bathroom incredibly stylish.

• Marble doesn't go out of style. Now it is possible to lay out a ceramic marble wall. Plus, not only in cost, but also in a variety of colors. Designers recommend not using decorative inserts in a solid marble canvas.

• The rough stone surface looks great in contrast to the snow-white sanitary ware. The tiles are almost always matte and embossed. This means that it does not slip and will look great not only on the walls, but also on the floor.

• A tile imitating the skin of wild animals looks very rich. There is much more practicality from such a tile than from natural upholstery, but it costs several times cheaper. Plus, it doesn't require much maintenance.

• Flowers in tile design remain highly demanded. It can be both small floral ornaments and panels with large flowers.

• Not for the first year, tiles with a 3D effect have attracted the attention of buyers. This effect looks more than modern. True, such a tile requires more careful care due to the embossed complex pattern.

• Metal-coated tiles look more than unusual. The metallic sheen adds volume and is able to slightly expand the narrow space.

It is quite easy to care for ceramic tiles. Cleaning with a damp microfiber cloth is often sufficient. If there is visible dirt, use a special tile cleaner.

Popular advice on surface care will not be superfluous:

• A cloth soaked in denatured alcohol will help restore the shine to the tile. Make sure that the room is well ventilated after the procedure;
• if you dissolve soda or chalk in water, wipe the tiles with this compound, and then, after drying, wipe it all off with a dry cloth, this will also return the shine;
• the fat from the tile will remove the solution with vinegar: a couple of tablespoons of vinegar per liter of water;

• difficult stains and nascent mold will help remove baking soda and vinegar;
• bleach will help to combine disinfection with cleaning. Mix it with water, spray with a spray bottle for a few minutes, then rinse with water;
• Hydrogen peroxide or bleach will help remove blood from the tile.

It is recommended to wash the floor with a coarse brush dipped in vinegar water. After that, you can clean the floor with water and a rag with a regular floor cleaner. Ideally, this should be a special ceramic detergent. Finally, rinse off any remaining detergent with a mop and lukewarm water.

Having studied the reviews of consumers and tilers, we can safely say that there are much more pluses than minuses.There were no obvious complaints about the quality. However, many advise you to check the products in the store. This will save you from the unpleasant surprise associated with the difference in shades. This sometimes happens if you received different consignments of goods.

Many in the reviews note a stylish design, a rich range of products and an affordable price. "Shakhtinskaya tile" is on a par with European quality products.
