Ceramic tiles are one of the most grateful materials in the hands of an architect. Thanks to them, it is possible to create functional and beautiful spaces. Like any material, ceramic tiles have their potential and specification. Depending on the technology of manufacturing and the idea of the creator of the design, they have specific properties and the possible applications resulting from them. They also have specific requirements related to their processing and installation.

How to choose the most suitable tiles for a given place? What parameters should be taken into consideration to ensure durability of the cladding and safety for users? How to make a purchase so that the individual tiles fit together perfectly and the assembly can be executed without problems? Today, we will deal exactly with these issues.

Stone and wood are the most primordial matter, serving humanity as a building substance, protection, and also as functional and aesthetic material. Natural stones have an infinite number of shades, varied chemical composition, and physical properties – from soft, absorbent, and porous limestones to hard marbles and granites. How to use the beauty of stone with the simultaneous guarantee of certain desirable properties of usage? You can opt for ceramic collections which faithfully reproduce the appearance of natural stones.

Beautiful and functional public spaces are a real challenge for Architects. You have to remember about such aspects as safety, comfort, aesthetics, hygiene, acoustics, durability, ease of care, and costs. How to choose tiles depending on traffic volume in public areas? In the following article, we provide several practical tips which extensively describe this matter.

The decision on how to lay ceramic tiles is sometimes as important as choosing their particular pattern since the method of laying them does affect the style and aesthetics of the interior. While the arrangement of “ordinary”, exclusively square tiles of the same size usually does not give rise to many challenges, collections of various formats or non-standard shapes open a real wealth of possibilities before the brave interior designer. Today we will look at interesting combinations of tiles which create a space full of character.

The garage – the pride of the master of the house (sometimes also the lady of the house) and a favourite place of conversation with the familiar enthusiasts of motorisation:)

The garage is both a technical and supporting place. It protects our car against the effects of the unfavourable weather conditions. It saves our time, which we do not have to sacrifice for clearing the snow and scraping the ice from the windscreen. It also provides thermal comfort both in the summer and winter – we do not have to endure the stifling heat before the air-conditioning does its work or freeze until the engine warms up. The garage often has the additional auxiliary functions – for example, it becomes a mini-workshop, a  store for sports equipment, tools or tires for a change.

In winter, when snowstorms, freezes, and frost rage outside the window, a warm home is definitely the nicest place. Except from the necessary clearing the paths of snow, we spend little time in other outdoor spaces – for example, terraces. And this is a big mistake because a ceramic or clinker cladding on the outside requires a little bit of attention from us during the coldest months. In this article, we will suggest on what things we should focus and care about in the winter, so that we will enjoy our terrace from spring to autumn for the long, long years.
