More and more builders are opting for alternatives to tiles for walls and floors. There are many reasons for this. Especially when it comes to designing surfaces without joints. You too can benefit from the advantages of alternative coating systems for your next construction or renovation project!
Alternatives to tiles - these are the reasons why
There are several reasons why you should consider alternatives to tiles:
- Individuality and creativity: Tiles are versatile and durable, but they often give rooms a standardized look. Alternatives to tiles often offer more versatility in terms of design options. Materials such as
quartz gravel
and
microcement allow you to create a unique look that reflects your personal style and creative preferences. With different materials, patterns, colors and textures, you can design spaces that are unique and individual, giving free rein to your creativity. - Sustainability: Many alternative coatings to tiles, such as leveled floors made of gravel or cement paste, are more sustainable than ceramic or porcelain tiles. Tile production often requires the unsustainable extraction of raw materials, has high energy consumption and environmentally harmful manufacturing processes. Alternatives such as natural stone, slate and cementitious levelling compounds can be a more environmentally friendly choice and help to reduce the environmental impact.
- Warmth and comfort: Tiles can often be cool and hard underfoot, especially in living rooms and bedrooms . Alternatives such as a stone carpet , on the other hand, can be warmer and more comfortable, creating a pleasant feeling of space, especially in living areas. Stone gravel flooring also offers better sound insulation, which reduces the noise level in the room.
- No joints: For many, the most important reason is certainly a surface without joints, which is only possible with alternatives to tiles. These offer some serious advantages over tiled surfaces.
Surfaces without joints - these are the advantages
The absence of joints has a number of advantages. These special properties show why alternatives to tiles are used in so many construction and renovation projects today.
- Seamless appearance: Surfaces without joints, such as seamless cast floors or trowelled wall coverings, offer a smooth and even appearance. This helps to make rooms appear larger and more open, as there are no interrupting joint lines. It also allows for a modern and minimalist design that goes well with many different interior styles.
- Easy cleaning and maintenance: Joints can often collect dirt, dust and bacteria and are sometimes difficult to clean. Surfaces without joints eliminate this problem, as there are no joints for dirt or bacteria to hide in. This makes
cleaning and maintenance easier and less time-consuming. The surfaces are simply wiped or cleaned without having to remove grout stains or deposits. - Hygiene benefits: Surfaces without joints can also be more hygienic as they offer fewer points of attack for bacteria or mold. This is particularly important in areas such as bathrooms, kitchens or healthcare facilities where hygiene is of great importance. Eliminating joints can reduce the risk of bacterial growth and mold, contributing to a healthier environment.
- Durability and hardwearing: Surfaces without joints are generally durable and hardwearing as there are no dividing lines between individual elements that can become loose or damaged over time. This can lead to a longer lifespan for surfaces and reduce the need for repairs or replacements, which is cost effective in the long term.
