ᐅ Height of Tiled Walls in Bathrooms: 1.2 m or 1.5 m?

oh, I wrote that poorly. I meant: I would prefer a standard windowsill in the bathroom rather than a tiled one. I think tiled windowsills quickly look like something from a hotel or a butcher’s shop.

I was only interested in the alternatives.

I was just looking for materials for bathroom walls.
What I found:
(Quote):
MARFINO ® CONCRETE SURFACE Microcement
Contains cement as a binder, which makes it vapor permeable and non-combustible. It can be easily used in permanently damp environments and is completely resistant to mold due to its alkalinity. In addition, MARFINO® CONCRETE SURFACE has a very low content of plastic additives, making it very low-emission and therefore well suited for living spaces.
The material is particularly easy to apply. With the right surface preparation, it can be applied to almost any substrate. We recommend priming the surface with our SQ-PRIMER to achieve optimal adhesion. Even old tiles can be coated easily with MARFINO® CONCRETE SURFACE if a thin layer of our KLEMO adhesive mortar is applied first. Substrates made of gypsum boards or wood panels are prepared in the same way, but a light mesh fabric should be embedded into the adhesive mortar to prevent cracking. In wet areas (showers, etc.), the substrate should additionally be sealed waterproof with our DSB sealing slurry. Further details on application are summarized in the product data sheet. (End quote)

(maybe there are other coatings available there as well)

The problem I see is that there are probably few tradespeople familiar with this, if you can find anyone at all...
It would probably be somewhat of an experiment (unlike tiles, which everyone knows).
The shop has a forum where you can talk to the owner and customers.

I believe one should free themselves from such comparisons. It doesn’t matter if it also exists elsewhere. Would you also reject something just because it looks like a palace?
As long as it only looks that way, it doesn’t matter. What counts is how it actually is!
For me, important questions are, for example: Is it easy to keep clean? – and of course: what does it cost? (The latter is, for me, ideally always a very late consideration)

Yes, I also don’t mind if it only looks like that. But it also evokes certain associations, which shape my perception of it. It’s not simply the fact that it exists elsewhere. That wouldn’t bother me. What matters to me is how it feels and what associations it triggers, not what it actually is.

so my experience is influenced by that.

I understand that, clearly.

I have a tiled windowsill in the guest bathroom; you won’t find that in a butcher shop...
I’ll go take a picture...
