FROM DURABILITY to ease of maintenance, when selecting materials for commercial spaces, there are an array of factors to consider to meet the specific needs of the environment. Spanish ceramic and porcelain tiles are a great option that will promise functionality, aesthetics and longevity. Representing 125 tile manufacturers, Tile of Spain provides insight into why tiles are the superior choice.


Durability and strength

Compared to residential areas, commercial spaces are renowned for experiencing high foot traffic, so a durable flooring solution is essential. Made from natural materials, ceramic tiles are incredibly strong and hardwearing and can withstand the expected wear and tear associated with heavy usage.


Safety


Creating a safe environment is crucial, no matter the size of the space. Minimising the risk of slips or falls can be done with anti-slip ceramic or porcelain tiles. Especially important for areas prone to moisture, like hotel lobbies or public bathrooms, opt for a tile with a high slip resistance rating between R9 and R13.


Maintenance and cleaning


Commercial spaces require constant maintenance to uphold strict standards. Choosing a material that is hygienic


and easy to clean is therefore essential to save on both cost and time. Spanish porcelain and ceramic tiles are simple to maintain and are stain-resistant, as well as hypoallergenic – meaning they don’t harbour bacteria, dust or mould.


Environmental considerations


Working with eco-friendly materials is at the forefront for many architects and developers. Spanish ceramic and porcelain tiles are natural, plastic-free and made with no toxic substances. In addition, the manufacturing process is environmentally conscious, ensuring regulatory compliance and social responsibility, so architects, specifiers and designers can have confidence in specifying tiles from Spain for their projects.


Aesthetics


From colour to pattern and format, the materials chosen need to align with the brand and ambience of the space. With a huge selection of tiles available, including the option for bespoke designs, architects and designers have a wealth of choice from Spanish tile manufacturers to suit any project. -
