Tile boar on the apron of the kitchen: types, colors, design, drawings, photos in the interior

The main dimensions of the boar tile

Boar is a rectangular ceramic tile resembling a brick. Initially, it served as a cladding of buildings, then migrated to the walls of the subway, which is why it is called the "metro" in the United States and Great Britain.

The wild boar has three main sizes:

• small 7.5x10 cm;
• large 10x20 (10x30) cm;
• large 28.5x8.5 cm.

Because a large tile visually reduces small kitchens, they use a standard size of 10x20 cm. In spacious rooms, any product is suitable.

Types of Boar Tiles

A distinctive feature of the hog are chamfers - beveled edges running along the perimeter.

Beveled

Chamfers (or facets) add volume to the product. The glazed surface looks especially impressive with them.

What grout to choose for tiles on an apron?

First of all, it is worth considering its composition: for the kitchen, a grout based on epoxy resins that is resistant to pollution is best suited. If we talk about the palette, then for a solid neutral apron, it is recommended to choose grout similar in color to the tile itself. Universal are white and gray grout.

In the photo an apron of burgundy color with a grout in tone that "dissolves" the seams without focusing on them.

If the apron needs to be accented, contrast combinations can be used. For example, a black grout on a white tile will give the interior a graphic look. If the tile is dark, white seams accentuate the texture or an interesting shade.

The photo shows an example of contrast grout. Without it, the wall above the work area would look empty and unfinished.

Layout options for wild boar tiles

If you use plastic panels that simulate the boar, there will be only two options for facing: vertical and horizontal. But the rectangular shape of the individual elements of the tile allows you to lay it in several ways:

• Vertical with offset. A method by which you can visually lengthen a tile wall.
• Horizontal swing. The most common option when the tile is laid with an offset, like a brick.
• Horizontal stacked. Accurate seam-to-seam method with emphasis on geometric accuracy.

• Vertical Stack. A method designed to emphasize the severity of lines in the interior.
• Diagonally.Elements are placed at an angle of 45 °. This option is suitable for small kitchens, as it visually expands the area of ​​the apron.
• Herringbone. The tile is laid in a zigzag and makes up a beautiful pattern.

What does a boar apron look like in various interior styles?

The boar tile is so multifunctional that it fits into any interior.

Provence ("French country") combines rustic simplicity and sophistication. An apron can have a picture or, conversely, act as a backdrop for cozy little things and an old headset.

IN spacious loft with rough textures white tiles will fit in, which will serve as a contrast to industrial furniture. An interesting option is when an even glossy coating of the apron resonates with textured brickwork.
