1. What is the waistline?

The waistline refers to the horizontal line on the wall. It mainly plays a decorative role and can enrich the layering of the space and make it different from the wall tiles. The pattern matching is more coordinated, making the traditional single wall more dynamic, avoiding the appearance of aesthetic fatigue, and improving the grade of the entire space to a certain extent. Some families like to use different wall tiles to decorate the walls to create a better visual effect on the upper and lower walls. The appearance of the waistline makes the transition between the two decoration materials more natural, providing a visual buffer and achieving division.

Waistlines are divided into two types: interior wall waistlines and exterior wall waistlines. The interior wall waistline refers to the waistline that decorates the interior walls of a home.

The waistline can be divided into horizontal and vertical directions. The horizontal waist line is laid on the wall parallel to the ground, and is generally about 0.8-1 meter away from the ground. If a basin or sink is installed on the wall, the height must be greater than the height of the basin and sink. The vertical waistline is a new paving method. The waistline is paved vertically on the wall. The overall line looks straighter, smoother, more fashionable and modern. Compared with the two paving methods, the vertical waistline saves more materials and costs during the paving process.

According to specifications, it can be divided into thick waistline and thin waistline. The specification of thick waistline is generally about 80*800mm. This type of waistline can be printed with colorful patterns, with richer colors and stronger visual impact. The specification of thin waistline is generally 40*300mm, and the visual effect is more refined. Suitable for spaces dominated by plain colors, it can highlight the simple and elegant temperament.

Generally, it is better if the waist line is shorter than the tiles. If the waist line is longer than the main tile, try to exchange it, because each piece is long and it will be troublesome to polish each piece.

3. There are many waistline materials, and their adaptability to cement shrinkage is different, so it is best to leave a certain expansion joint when paving. This makes it easier to repair and replace.

The waistline is generally matched with ceramic tiles. There are various waistline specifications. The length should be the same as the matching ceramic tile specifications. For example, the ceramic tile specification is 300x450mm, then The waistline length is generally 300mm or 450mm.
