Maybe you have decided to change the bathtub per shower tray , and have taken as an option to finish the space that leaves the hole in the bath tile instead of conventional tile. Or when doing the bathroom reform, you have chosen to use this material.
The tile is a material very similar to the tile although much smaller (its sides range between 2.5 to 5 cm approximately). It is the material par excellence with which the swimming pools are covered.
The conventional tile has a vitreous layer that waterproofs it and the small tiles are joined by mesh or paper tiles. Its application is by grout. Usually over time the joints tend to darken, although there are products that bring them back to the natural color .

There are also some ceramic tiles that imitate the tile . They are usually purchased in sheets, so their installation is much simpler by allowing several pieces to be placed at the same time . In the specialized stores, tiles are marketed, usually 30 centimeters on each side, which imitate the completion of the small tile tiles and whose prices are much lower .
The tile is an excellent option as decorative ceramics. It usually has a square shape, but we can also find it in a rectangular shape, which gives it a more original and elegant finish.
It can be found in different shades, textures and finishes that you can combine with the rest of the bathroom tiles if you do not want to make a comprehensive reform. Another of its advantages is that it gives the possibility of installing it even on an old tiling . Although it is not the most advisable and it is convenient to remove the old tiles to leave the wall clean, with a good roughness, it is possible to place tile over another material.
