Tegelwand

Tegelwand is a Dutch term that translates to "tile wall" in English. It refers to any wall surface that is covered with tiles. These tiles can be made from a variety of materials, including ceramic, porcelain, glass, natural stone, or even metal. Tegelwanden are commonly found in bathrooms and kitchens due to their durability, water resistance, and ease of cleaning.

The installation of a tegelwand involves several steps. First, the wall surface must be properly prepared, ensuring it is clean, dry, and level. Then, adhesive is applied, and the tiles are carefully placed and spaced using tile spacers. Once the adhesive has set, the gaps between the tiles are filled with grout. The type of grout used can vary depending on the application and desired aesthetic.

Tegelwanden offer a wide range of design possibilities. Tiles come in countless colors, shapes, sizes, and patterns, allowing for both practical and decorative applications. They can be used to create simple, functional surfaces or elaborate mosaic designs. Beyond residential settings, tegelwanden are also prevalent in commercial spaces such as swimming pools, hospitals, and public restrooms, where hygiene and maintenance are paramount. The term emphasizes the materiality and construction of the wall, highlighting its tiled nature.
