If desired, it is possible to obtain a coating that is distinguished by unsurpassed sophistication and comfort.

But not everyone has this opportunity. Therefore, bricks for interior decoration began to appear, which are made from various materials. In the early stages and to this day, amateur craftsmen made it on their own from a gypsum mixture.
