“The good taste and the proper specification of the coatings need to go together so that the architectural project has the desired result.

When it comes to flooring, there are a multitude of materials on the market, so it is important to know them to make a good choice.

Porcelain tiles are the most widely accepted coatings, as they combine beauty, cost benefit and practicality in one product, and can be used on floors and walls. The darlings continue to be the marbled ones, usually with a white background and stripes in shades of beige and gold. But currently there are several patterns and the trend is the materials that refer to nature, where we highlight the wooden porcelain tiles.

Using natural stone to cover floors and walls is also a trend that I really like, as it enhances environments and gives coziness.

And finally, I could not fail to mention quartzite, a natural stone that is on the rise for its beauty, resistance and versatility, and can be used on all types of floors, countertops (kitchen, bathroom, barbecue) and walls. It is a coating that adds beauty and practicality to environments.”
