Viilplaadid

Viilplaadid are a type of thin, often decorative, ceramic or stone tile used in construction and renovation. Historically, they were popular for interior and exterior wall coverings, particularly in older buildings. The term "viilplaat" itself suggests a connection to roofing or pitched surfaces, hinting at their original use or appearance. These tiles are typically laid in a pattern, sometimes overlapping, to create a specific aesthetic effect. Their durability and water-resistant properties made them suitable for areas prone to moisture. Modern viilplaadid are available in a wide range of materials, including glazed ceramics, natural stone like slate or granite, and even composite materials designed to mimic traditional appearances. They are often chosen for their aesthetic appeal, offering a rustic or classic look depending on the material and installation. Installation typically involves adhering them to a prepared substrate with mortar or adhesive. Maintenance usually involves regular cleaning to prevent staining and grout degradation. Their use can be seen in kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, and on exterior facades, contributing to the overall architectural style of a building.
