Robust, sturdy, and timeless: the industrial living style has been an absolute favorite for years. At the foundation of this style often lies a beautiful, trowelled concrete floor. However, real poured concrete has quite a few disadvantages. It's porous, sensitive to cracking due to temperature differences, and if you spill a glass of red wine, the stain will immediately soak into the floor.
Fortunately, there is a perfect alternative that is indistinguishable from the real thing: ceramic concrete look tiles. With these tiles, you bring that raw, modern ambiance into your home, while simultaneously enjoying ultimate living comfort.
Why choose ceramic concrete look tiles?
We see that more and more people are opting out of a real cast floor or concrete floor and deliberately choosing the ceramic variant. And for good reason. The advantages at a glance:
- 100% Stain-resistant: Ceramic is non-porous and fired at high temperatures. Wine, coffee, grease, or mud? You can wipe it off easily without it soaking in.
- Scratch and wear-resistant: Where a real cast floor quickly shows scratches (especially with pets or sliding chairs), a ceramic tile is extremely hard and scratch-resistant.
- Ideal with underfloor heating: Ceramic conducts heat excellently and retains it for a long time. Unlike real concrete, you don't have to worry about the floor cracking due to temperature fluctuations.
- Suitable for wet areas: Concrete in a walk-in shower often leads to moisture problems. Concrete look tiles, however, are perfectly waterproof and ideal for the bathroom.
Do you want to create the illusion of a real, continuous cast floor? Then choose a grout color that exactly matches the color of the tile. Combine this with so-called rectified (straight-cut) tiles, allowing you to keep the grout very narrow (approx. 2 mm). This way, the tiles flow beautifully into each other!
Which color suits your interior?
Concrete look no longer has to be standard 'cold gray'. Today, the variation in colors, structures, and sizes is enormous.
Do you have a modern, sleek interior with a lot of steel and black tones? Then opt for a cool, anthracite gray tile. Are you more a fan of the warm Japandi or Scandinavian style? Then there are beautiful greige (gray-beige) or sand-colored concrete look tiles. These give a room the sturdy texture of concrete, but maintain a warm and inviting atmosphere. The size also makes a big difference: for example, choose impressive XXL tiles of 90x90 or 120x120 cm to make the space appear larger.
Not just for the floor
Concrete look tiles are not exclusively for the floor; they also create a fantastic effect on the wall. Think of a sturdy, robust back wall in the kitchen or a complete concrete look walk-in shower. It provides a minimalist, luxurious hotel-like appearance that perfectly matches matte black or copper taps.
