Tiles to enhance your private wellness oasis

Choice of flooring – a key factor in bathroom design

Mod­ern tiles with their wide range of choices help you make your dream bath­room come true. Today, tiles can imit­ate the look of wood, con­crete or nat­ur­al stone and are avail­able in a mul­ti­tude of col­ors, sur­faces and formats. Tiles thus offer vir­tu­ally unlim­ited design options. If adhes­ives and grouts with the EMICODE® label are used for install­a­tion, emis­sions are guar­an­teed to be as low as pos­sible to ensure a healthy home.

When real­iz­ing your dream bath­room, there is simply no bet­ter choice than tiles. They are made of nat­ur­al raw mater­i­als and are easi­er to keep clean if they are equipped with a smooth sur­face. Tiles are extremely hard-wear­ing: if some­thing falls down, there will be no marks or dents. Due to their good thermal con­duct­iv­ity, tiles are also the ideal part­ner for under­floor heat­ing.

It’s not only for prac­tic­al reas­ons that tiles are com­monly used in bath­rooms. They also play a cru­cial role for cre­at­ing a beau­ti­ful atmo­sphere. Wheth­er extra large tiles or small mosa­ic tiles: they are not only avail­able in clas­sic white, beige, grey or black, but also in styl­ish col­ors that reflect mod­ern trends. Mar­ine col­ors such as aqua­mar­ine, cool green and deep azure blue are very much in vogue right now, as they give clas­sic stone­ware and cement tiles an extra fresh look. If you like it warm and cheer­ful, choose yel­low and orange tones. By con­trast, grey tiles cre­ate a cool and trendy urb­an look. Also pop­u­lar: a black-and-white check­er­board pat­tern.

Tiles also come in a wide range of sur­faces – wheth­er pol­ished, matt, glossy or rough. Even wave-like and curved struc­tures as well as reliefs, hon­ey­combs or flowers are avail­able now. Floor tiles with a rough sur­face are usu­ally laid in wet rooms to provide the neces­sary slip res­ist­ance. Large-format tiles are cur­rently very trendy because they make the bath­room look more spa­cious. This effect pays off espe­cially in small rooms.

When expertly installed, wall and floor tiles can with­stand the high wear and tear of bath­rooms for dec­ades and are there­fore a sus­tain­able choice. On top, more and more house­build­ers and ren­ov­at­ors attach great import­ance to healthy liv­ing. When tiling your bath­room, you should there­fore opt for primers, mor­tars, adhes­ives and grouts that have been cer­ti­fied with the EMICODE® label. The EMICODE® is a vendor-neut­ral qual­ity seal that is only awar­ded to build­ing products that fea­ture the low­est pos­sible emis­sions. By car­ry­ing out unan­nounced spot checks, inde­pend­ent labor­at­or­ies con­tinu­ously mon­it­or wheth­er the man­u­fac­tur­ers com­ply with the required lim­it val­ues. This makes the EMICODE® label a good indic­at­or of build­ing mater­i­als which con­sumers can put their trust in – to ensure healthy liv­ing con­di­tions in your private well­ness oas­is.

Tiles are an indis­pens­able part of the bath­room. They are avail­able for every home decor style – also includ­ing the Scand­inavi­an one (see photo above). Add some styl­ish bath­room fur­niture, plants, lots of day­light and your private spa is ready for use. The prac­tic­al bene­fits of tiles are also undeni­able: they are hard-wear­ing, hygien­ic and easy to keep clean. In addi­tion, tiles con­duct heat very well. This makes them the per­fect part­ner for under­floor heat­ing.
