Innovation and demand for aesthetics has led to the induction of a whole new world of merchandise for floorings and walls.
Designing an apt commercial space requires not only the understanding of the right balance of colours, shapes, light and accessories but also a professional know-how of products. Moreover, commercial design is taking on a newer path of working around user experience and workability. By giving employees an environment that boosts their morale, one succeeds in making design and business with the help of surface products that go beyond just paper and paints for walls, and concrete for flooring.
Manufacturing brands continue to build innovative ways of creating unique textures and effects for the interior environment. These structured surfaces offer innumerable possibilities of pattern, colour and texture, designed to complement any decor style, space and function in workspaces. Walls and floors need to be given special attention as these planes are constantly subjected to use.“Material and technological advancement have enabled replication of near to life designs in flooring products. Today, people consider tiles that are easy on the eyes. Earthy and organic-textured tiles are soothing for their colours and rustic textures and add minimalistic style to interiors,” states Vivek Talwar, CMD, Nitco Ltd. The company’s unique Triple Reinforced technology gives marble a makeover – the marble blocks are strengthened by fibre and imported rock resin; the surface is prepared by drying in an oven before applying fibre, while the bottom an top surfaces are filled with Epoxy, to pack in every small pore. Nitco has carved a distinct recognition for itself for its glazed vitrified tiles, ceramic wall tiles and vitrified heavy duty tiles. The newly launched Kratos, part of the outdoor digital vitrified tile range, features a matt finish and texture, offering superior grip that withstands weathering and heavyweights.
