Figure "Christmas tree" on a ceramic facing, in contrast to the traditional division of the floor plane and walls to squares, it looks diverse and more dynamic. Combinations of narrow and long ceramic elements that differ in color, texture, degree of gloss, form beautiful and complex decors. But here is the question: will this spectacular finish withstand any, even the most aggressive impact during operation and care? Of course, ceramics - durable finishing material. And yet it is undesirable to use abrasive substances and cleaning agents containing acid. The most risky zones are decors and borders made with the use of gold, platinum, metal-based dyes, as well as ceramic tiles and porcelain stoneware with a metallized pattern.
Pollution with ceramics are removed with a weak soap solution or abrasive neutral detergents, acting with a soft cloth.

Double, triple masonry and French Christmas tree, from curved and connected to each other at the angle of planks are extremely better. Now this drawing is in demand when creating vintage compositions and interior design in classic style.

Save the attractiveness of natural wood help protective coatings: varnish, oil, oil with solid wax.

PVC coatings
The main criterion for the choice of PVC-coatings is the decor, including the popular imitation of the parquet with the styling of the Christmas tree. After that, attention is attracted to the cost, consumer qualities, lightness of laying and cleaning. When selling any PVC coverage, the seller must give instructions on its laying and operation. The warranty period for the material depends on the properties of the coating, but it is valid only if all the manufacturer's recommendations are valid.
Specialists recommend gluing PVC coating to the base. This method of attachment increases the wear resistance of the material and extends the service life.
