Design Tip - 01

Painting wood floors

May be you have less-than-perfect hardwood floor. Or you just want to express your creativity. Painted floors can be the solution to both situations, invariably giving you handsome results. Design options run anywhere from simple checker board patterns to stenciled images to elaborate Trompe l’Oeil effects. Be sure that you use paint specially formulated for floor use. You can also use latex paint, as long as it’s of a high quality. Just be sure, when finished, to protect your design with a coat of polyurethane.

Renovate your home without demolishing

KERLITE has now taken another step forward to become KERLITE PLUS, the ceramic solution you were looking for to renovate that old flooring. With a minimum height increase – from 3 to 3.5mm – KERLITE PLUS has a tough fiberglass mesh backing, doubling its cladding potential. The sky’s the limit for this stunning, minimum weight tile. With Kerlite it’s easy to lay new flooring in your home. But more than that, it’s economic and simple. KERLITE PLUS can be installed directly over existing flooring in wood, ceramic or any other compact type of surface. This is because the underside of the ceramic slab has been reinforced with a dense fiberglass mat. As well as allowing excellent heat conduction, this minimum thickness mesh ensures the tile sticks solidly to the adhesive spread on the substrate. With just 3.5mm additional floor height there’s no need to adjust the level of doors and jambs.
