Whichever version of the kitchen decoration was chosen: kitchen aprons with photo-printing or mosaic, facing materials ensure the simplicity of cleaning and the possibility of combining with a common interior. Naturally, for the choice of any material when creating an interior design, there are certain rules.
We select the material of the kitchen apron
The optimal option for creating an apron is the lining of an artificial stone and decorative bricks. Alternatives can be kitchen aprons made of glass and plastic or MDF.
Conventionally, kitchen aprons can be divided into facing and hinged structures.
Facing tiles, bricks and mosaics can be called a classic option.
tile for apron: bright or monophonic
The apron of tiles is still a relevant design option. To create a kitchen apron from tiles there is a quality ceramic and tiled products with a textured filling. Traditional ceramic tile for apron is universal for care and durable. In addition, the laying of tiles of any type is done by hand.
Modern technology of photo printing and painting of images allows you to choose a tile for the overall color design of walls, ceiling, windows and furniture. It is necessary to take into account that the restrained and inexpressive range of collection tiles may simply not approach the bright furniture.
Bright tiles, on the contrary, will absorb the expressiveness of the lining of shelves and lockers from an expensive tree. You can feel a harmonious choice by attaching tiles to furniture and walls. In addition, for the cladding, you must adhere to the height of the apron.
apron of white brick
To create an apron made of bricks, you need to pay attention to its texture layer. It is better to give preference to a fine-grained surface, which absorbs moisture and fat particles least of all. This apron will be especially relevant for the kitchen in the style of country, Provence and Scandinavian.
The size of the brick tile is selected depending on the size of the wall area, kitchen set and its placement. The way of laying an apron is traditional, imitating a real brickwork.
The small size of the bricks with a matte surface will create variations in the design of the Mediterranean style, and with a rough loft style. Particularly impressive is the white brick on the walls.

A bit of beige, pink, coffee and now the mosaic sparkles with its amazing and unique brilliance.
Suspended structures made of stone and glass
Heavy-weight hinged structures of the apron require a simple calculation for installation. For fastening such aprons it will be necessary to create a powerful crate and choose not less strong fasteners.
apron made of stone
The natural stone in the apron product looks particularly impressive in combination with the worktop material, when the texture of the apron on the wall smoothly flows onto the countertop.
To create such an apron plate is used (slabs) from solid materials (marble, granite, basalt) with a thickness of 2 cm. Apron from granitic stone or a marble litokeramiki possesses outstanding natural strength and low water absorption. These qualities are promoted by polishing and grinding of natural stone. The most common variant of an apron made of stone is a granite slab.
When installing, consider the significant weight of the product. For example, a slab of granite or 1.5 cm thick and 60 cm wide will have a weight of up to 12 kg.
When processing slabs for the apron, it is necessary to arrange the gluing of the ends, giving them a relief or smoothing the sharp edges.

The only prerequisite for the proposal was a carefully thought-out project and installation. Mounting skins made by specialists using clips.
The glass apron is a convenient and practical solution for decorating long kitchen wall spaces with exotic plants and exhilarating landscapes.
