Modern materials for floors and walls

A modern house expresses always more the personality, the expectations and the life-style of its occupants, design boosts that must be carefully channeled and mediated by a serious and attentive designer. Sometimes the demands of a client may be too kitsch, from the point of view of the aesthetic result, or of little logic for the economy of the functionality of a living room, but there is much that you can do to give expressive value and personality to buildings where we spend a good part of our lives.

The quality of the space is given mainly by two overriding factors: the distribution of the same, in terms of paths, orientation, natural lighting, ease of access, and more, and the quality and use of the finishing materials used, the essential elements . From this point of view, modern technologies offer a really wide range of solutions, in terms of type and quality of the finishes and of the functional performance.

New laminate flooring

The laminated floors for example, are among the types of materials that offer plenty of opportunities, from the point of view of aesthetics and durability, among them are very interesting and high-tech laminates BerryAlloc, whose technical and aesthetic qualities make them suitable for use in many different types of space: from residential to commercial, from the tertiary to the local restaurants, hotels and even in places such as busy airport terminals.

The chance to play with the aesthetics, to achieve decorative effects furthering the various tastes, are remarkable thanks to a wide range of sizes, over 100 color shades and types of decorations that go fom wood effect to ceramic and the concrete effect, ensuring absolutely disparate expressive possibilities, thanks to a very wide palette of tones.

But the aesthetic appearance, while being decisive in the choice of a product, can not and must not be the predominant reason, because the technical quality and performance are essential: from this point of view the laminates High-Tech BerryAlloc boast a class of resistance (AC6) 34, particularly for high floors of this type, guaranteed by the special high surface pressure.

Another important feature of these floors is a high degree of sound absorption provided by a specific mattress called Silent System that is mounted on the lower edge of each axis, considerably reducing the classic impact noise. Similarly, the coupling of a waterproofing AquaResist HDF panel, along with the sealed edges of the axes, ensures a low rate of moisture absorption, which protects and enhances the beauty of these floors, which do not require special cleaning and are also anti-static and non-allergenic.

Also the aspect of ease of installation is very important, and thanks to the exclusive coupling system aluminum this is possible in an easy manner and allows to obtain tight seams and robust, able to ensure a resistance to the floor up to 1200 kg per linear meter, well above that of the systems interlocking wood fiber.

Microbeton for floors and walls

Another type of material with many expressive possibilities is the microbeton. Aware of aesthetic qualities, as well as techniques, such material, Cement Design Group, which has a wide range of floors and wall coverings that employ this innovative material and has recently launched a new line called Metal Line, characterized by surface finishing type metal such as zinc, aluminum, brass and bronze, which supports, on a commercial level, the already known and appreciated by Oxido Line Microfloor.

This modern type of coating is characterized by providing continuous surfaces without joints, with a quality material surface and solidity integrated and enhanced by the use of latex, which ensures flexibility and quality, in particular to the superficial layers of finish, and excellent for the uses in projects with low environmental impact, due to the low content of volatile organic compounds and the use of only natural mineral water and polymers.

The possibilities for innovative use of lines Oxido Line and Metal Line will allow a use not only as coatings but also as flooring, either in both indoor and outdoor spaces, and even surfaces such as furniture elements, relying on decorative finishes such as zinc, aluminum, brass, bronze, iron oxide-rust and copper oxide, obtained with the use of metal particles and minerals.

A peculiarity of the microbetonis to be installed with minimum thicknesses, from 1 to 3 mm, with traditional methods and on any surface and material as the existing support, possibility, the latter particularly useful in cases of restructuring in which you must reduce the destructive or invasive interventions. Loans may be multiple, as in residential spaces in rooms with heavy traffic, commercial or receptive, and even in bathrooms and wellness centers, given the absolute stability of the material in contact with the water.
