Types of Floors for Modern Homes
In the quest for the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality, the choice of flooring becomes a crucial aspect in the design of a modern home. Exagres, a leader in the manufacture of extruded and porcelain stoneware, offers a wide range of options that combine beauty and durability. Below, we'll explore some of the most popular ones and their distinctive features.
Wood: Warmth and Natural Elegance
Wood is a timeless classic that adds warmth and elegance to any space. However, despite its beauty, wood can be susceptible to water damage and scratches, requiring regular and costly maintenance over time. In contrast, Exagres' extruded and porcelain stoneware offers a practical and durable alternative to wood. With a wide variety of designs that faithfully mimic the appearance and texture of natural wood, extruded and porcelain stoneware is resistant to water, scratches, and fading. Additionally, its ease of cleaning and maintenance makes it an ideal choice for outdoor areas.
Stone: Durability and Style
Natural stone offers durability and style in equal measure. Although it is resilient and easy to clean, stone can be expensive to install and may require periodic sealing to maintain its appearance and resilience over time. Its counterpart in extruded and porcelain stoneware offers the same aesthetic and durable qualities but with easier installation and reduced maintenance. With a wide range of colors and finishes available based on the appearance of natural stone, Exagres' extruded and porcelain stoneware is a versatile and cost-effective option for modern homes.
Marble: Luxury and Resistance
Marble is renowned for its luxury and elegance, but it can also be prone to staining and damage if not properly cared for. While it offers an impressive look, marble can be a costly and high-maintenance option for modern homes. Offering the same elegance and durability as marble but with superior resistance to stains, impacts, and fading, ceramic stoneware, specifically extruded and porcelain stoneware, is the most resilient option. Available in various finishes inspired by the appearance of natural marble such as Calacatta or Travertine, it is a practical and stylish choice for any residential project.
Urban or Cement: Continuity and Customization
Exagres' extruded and porcelain stoneware offers a modern and durable alternative to cement, which, in addition to its contemporary appearance, is highly resistant to wear, making it an ideal option for high-traffic and outdoor areas. With the ability to faithfully mimic the appearance of cement and other urban materials such as metal, this material allows for the creation of cohesive and personalized indoor and outdoor spaces that reflect the style and personality of each homeowner.
