The stone bricks, also called stacked stone, give your bathroom a natural look and give you a warm feeling in the ambience. This stone is available in many colors, shapes and sizes. Among other things, the choice depends on the costs.
Today we have some tips for you to help you find your way around.

The basic information:
Normally, this kind of wall is made of natural stone. These are previously worked out in a thin, rectangular shape. They differ in height. After installation, this stone creates a drama that immediately becomes the linchpin of the room.
Size:
Most stones are about 15 to 50 or 15 to 70 cm in size. The stones could be brought together beforehand, or they could be available in separate parts.
Advantages:
In addition to the gorgeous texture, this material can also be combined with very different styles. Many homeowners incorporate wall lighting to further illuminate the fabulous surface.

Disadvantage:
This stone is very heavy and may damage other items during installation. Also, attaching a mirror to such a wall would be risky and extremely difficult.
Also for security reasons you should avoid such walls in families with children. Because the collision with such a wall would be very painful and sometimes quite dangerous.
In this case, the lighting is discreetly hidden
maintenance
If you’re crazy about cleanliness, then natural stone is probably not your thing. The inequalities and the bends are quite heavy to clean. At least you should not install such a wall next to the shower, because washing the wall with clean water every time after the bath can be exhausting.
For the sake of easy care you should opt for a professional installer who does not allow gaps between the different stones.
There are also flat designs that give the illusion of such a stone

Sustainability:
It is in most cases a very environmentally friendly decision. Most stones were created from industrial waste.
But do not forget that every stone extracted outside the area has contributed to many fumes in the air.
Special tips
Maybe some of you have already opted for the stacked stone. Especially for these and yet for all other interested parties, I would like to give the following tips:
When installing in the shower, you should definitely submit a glass surface. Make sure the installer has thought of it. Surrounding with mirrors is gorgeous. But make sure the corners are clean. Cleaning afterwards is next to impossible.
Comfortable and relaxed shower for two
Yes, beauty requires care. However, if you have easy-to-clean areas in the rest of the house, it’s worth the effort. In my opinion, the view of the stacked stones can not be compared to anything else.
