Tiles in the kitchen interior

The kitchen is a special room in the house. It should be practical and cozy, because not only food is prepared here, but guests are often also received. The coating of walls and floors must withstand temperature changes, exposure to steam, splashes of hot water, grease, etc. It is necessary that the walls and floor can be cleaned at any time without the use of special means. In addition to practicality, high demands are placed on the cladding of walls and floors in terms of aesthetics. A kitchen apron should be in harmony with the furniture set; it should decorate the room and make it cozy. No other facing material compares to tiles.

Ceramic marzzi for kitchen apron

Kerama Marazzi tiles for the kitchen are the ideal solution . The following properties of the tile speak in favor of this choice:

• environmental friendliness - Italian tiles are traditionally made from natural materials, and they try to adhere to the same principle in Russian production;
• strength and wear resistance;

• large selection of decorative solutions.

The tiles look very beautiful in the design of an Italian kitchen.

Which tile to choose for the kitchen

Today you can buy tiles of any shape, size and color.
Traditionally, warm shades are used to decorate the kitchen. The following colors are most appropriate:

• beige;
• yellow;
• orange;
• all shades of brown;
• soft pink;
• white.

Shades of blue or green in the kitchen should be used with caution, unless they are tiles from the “English Delft” series, which use motifs from traditional tiles.

Kerama Marazzi kitchen tiles can be decorated with culinary or plant themes. For example, for the “Lunch” series, decors with images of kitchen utensils were created, and for the “Muffin” series - with multi-colored cupcakes. The “Greenhouse” tile with flowers and fruits looks incredibly beautiful. If active patterns are not suitable for you, you can choose decors with ornaments or even choose tiles without decors. Even plain tiles can look very beautiful if you match them to the furniture.

Large selection of tiles

The Kerama Marazzi factory offers a wide range of different ceramic tiles.

The tiles in the kitchen look amazing

You can decorate only the floor with tiles, choosing other finishing materials for the walls. The tiled floor can be an imitation of parquet - for this, tiles with the texture of natural wood of any shades are offered. You can also create a traditional floor from large-format square or mosaic tiles, which our article “Mosaic tiles for the kitchen” will help you get acquainted with. The tiles are convenient for installing heated floors in the kitchen. At the same time, it is a beautiful and practical material that does not require special care. The floor in the kitchen, tiled with Kerama Marazzi, will last a very long time without losing its decorative properties and high performance qualities.

Production technologies

Ceramics are always attractive, because making them is an ancient art. Once upon a time, a person combined all four elements in baked tiles: earth, water, air and fire and received the strongest, most reliable material. Writing on clay and fired has survived centuries to show us how durable ceramics can be.

And then the craftsmen realized how beautiful it could be, and this combination of strength, functionality and beauty became a tradition that Kerama Marazzi tirelessly strengthens and develops:

• modernization - all the most advanced;
• the latest equipment - the freshest ideas from the inventive minds of our century;
• innovative technologies - all four elements in different combinations and compositions.

The result of this approach to product production is obvious - perfect collections that have no analogues are created every year.

The installation of the new Continua + line in 2020 allowed us to master a new format - and again be ahead with the Maxi format of porcelain tiles. Several series of tiles 120 x 240 mm exactly repeating the texture of natural stone and wood were a real discovery, but for Kerama Marazzi this was a normal move forward - a successful step, but far from the last.

New formats are a constant update and an opportunity to offer the buyer convenient and flexible options for realizing the intended appearance of a home:

• 80 x 80 - porcelain stoneware, contrary to its name, is becoming more and more flexible - to suit any size and rotation;
• 80 x 160 – maxi also changes and gains variety;
• 120 x 240 – ceramic maxi carpets, perhaps even airplanes – an exquisite detail.

Ceramic tile

Keram Marazzi has his own approach to everyday objects for the bathroom. The tiles from this manufacturer expand the ideas about the design of the walls of the house. And it’s not just about the original design - the company’s technologies make it possible to get a product that goes on sale, equipped with all the necessary elements for quick and beautiful styling - without additional expense and effort.

How are ceramic tiles created?

Materials:

• quartz sand - to prevent shrinkage;
• feldspar, carbonates – give the mixture viscosity;
• refractory clay - for elasticity.

Components are added at different stages:

• glaze - protecting the product and imparting aesthetic qualities;
• components for material plasticity and shrinkage reduction;
• substances to reduce the melting point of clay;
• additional components to enhance the aesthetic component.

To become Kerama Marazzi tiles, the material goes through several stages during the production process:

• clay grinding;
• enrichment of the composition with special additives (their quantity depends on the calculated characteristics of the finished product);
• stir until smooth;
• wetting before pouring into molds (this stage also depends on the required output characteristics);
• pouring into molds;
• pressing under high pressure - the product becomes dense and strong;
• pre-drying - to remove excess moisture (to avoid cracking during firing);
• glazing - giving the tile a given color, the glaze after firing becomes durable, this is both decoration and protection of the product;
• firing at high temperatures – formation of strength and other characteristics;
• the firing process ends gradually, with a slow decrease in temperature - this preserves the integrity of the products;
• sorting - after cooling, the resulting tiles are inspected.
• excluded - products with cracks, tiles with distorted dimensions, deformed tiles, products with uneven thickness.

After this, Kerama Marazzi tiles for the bath, kitchen and any other premises are packaged and put on sale to find a buyer.

Ceramic granite

The following types of porcelain stoneware are distinguished:

• matte;
• glazed;
• lapped.

Everyone is familiar with matte and glazed tiles, and it is relatively clear how the process of their manufacture occurs.

Lapatated granite

Lappating is an invention of Italian masters, the literal translation is “scuffing”. In fact, the term does not mean a completely new technology, but a modified last stage of the technological process for manufacturing prepolished porcelain stoneware.

The previous stages of production are no different from the usual ones that all types of material go through:

• preparing the mixture (clay, mica, feldspar, quartz sand, additives);
• pressing;
• firing at a temperature of 13000 C.

The result is a durable artificial stone, onto which a pattern and texture are applied.

After this, lappatting is carried out - grinding the surface of the stone using a special algorithm. A thin layer of stone is removed, but thanks to specially modified grinding devices, this occurs unevenly.

Roughness and polished areas alternate, forming an additional pattern.

This gives the stone a decorative identity and additional functionality.

The stone processed in this way has all the properties of matte and glossy porcelain stoneware options:

• hydrophobicity - this makes the material independent of temperature changes;
• fire resistance - this allows you to line fireplaces and stoves with stone;
• strength and wear resistance - the value of these parameters is the same under any load and is due to the homogeneous structure of the material;
• resistance to aggressive environments and ultraviolet radiation;
• average degree of adhesion to the surface.

The decorative possibilities of stone with alternating glossy and rough areas have expanded and acquired features that serve its growing popularity:

1. Soft gloss, which is created by chaotically located polished and rough areas.
2. The absence of glare allows you to create an interior with a muted play of light and shadow.
3. It is almost impossible to scratch and very easy to clean.
4. Lapped stone has an additional visual parameter - its own texture, while the options for combinations of glossy and rough areas are endless. Tiles that imitate leather, wood, and marble acquire special realism. Each selective surface polishing algorithm has a name and structure - to implement any idea.
5. The position of the middle option between the presence and absence of gloss allows you to use such tiles everywhere - they lay floors, walls, facades, fireplaces.

The disadvantages of porcelain stoneware do not go beyond the disadvantages of other stone coverings:

• when laying on the floor, you will have to immediately design a heated floor - otherwise in winter the cold will come from the floor;
• the dense structure of the stone is difficult to cut and requires skill;
• high cost, which is compensated over time by the durability of the material.

Mosaic

Kerama Marazzi produces mosaics - ceramic and porcelain stoneware. The difference between this type of finishing material is the small size of the elements, which allows you to work on surfaces with whimsical shapes and different configurations:

• swimming pools;
• arches;
• columns;
• garden and facade architectural elements.

The service life of ceramic mosaics has no limits - this type of decoration has existed for many centuries, and amazingly beautiful works have come down to us, the age of which is estimated at centuries.

The production technology has not changed since the invention of mosaics - these are the same ceramic tiles, but smaller in size.

A homogeneous mixture of clay, sand, quartz and feldspar is mixed, kaolin and other additives are added. The finished mass goes through several stages:

• distributed according to forms;
• pressed under pressure;
• covered with glaze;
• is being fired.

Advanced technologies of Kerama Marazzi make it possible to obtain elements of small thickness - this provides the material with the ability to freely “flow around” difficult areas, corners, curved and convex walls, niches.

Kerama Marazzi thinks through everything to the smallest detail and allows you to avoid additional steps when tiling, because it produces another type of ceramic mosaic - cut.

The method of manufacturing this version of the material is determined by its name - the mosaic is cut from finished products.

It has the same thickness as the main material, which allows you to lay out the wall without compromising the appearance. Complex sections of the wall are laid out with mosaics, which differ from the rest of the decorative material only in size: in the same colors and shades, with the same shine and quality.

This ensures economical use of the main decor.

Made in the range of the set, mosaic elements allow you to tile all complex sections of the wall without cutting the main tile.

And when purchasing, you can clearly calculate the number of tiles. Mosaic elements are sold together with the selected tile set.

Mosaic floors are no longer a dream, but an easily achievable reality. Strong and durable porcelain mosaic tiles can be laid on the floor and embody the idea of ​​paintings or complex ornaments.

For a porcelain stoneware puzzle that combines textures and shades, Kerama Marazzi offers hand-cutting in any combination.

Choosing ceramic tiles for the kitchen backsplash

Having planned the kitchen design and decided on choosing tiles for the work area, the next step should be to decide on the design of the apron. Today there is a wide selection of ceramic tiles: plain, multi-colored, to match the shade and material of the entire kitchen (for example, brick, stone or wood). The mosaic tile looks original.

Mosaics will give the apron the appearance of elegant handmade work, which will make the entire kitchen design creative and original.

For mosaics, it is recommended to take small-sized plates. The choice of clinker tiles is non-trivial, creating the impression of brickwork. You can also apply any image to the tile using digital printing - photo printing.

Original and beautiful tiles for a kitchen backsplash are a traditional, convenient and profitable design option.

Designers believe that small tiles not only decorate, but also visually expand the size of the kitchen. Today there is a wide range of tiles: from rectangular to diamond-shaped, from tiny cells to large ones. In addition, it is possible to individually order the size of facing ceramic tiles. However, before you increase your renovation costs by deciding to order tiles in your size, you should consider purchasing them in stores. They offer ceramic tiles in miniature sizes: 2.5x2.5 cm, 5x5 cm, small sizes: 10x10 cm, 13x13 cm, medium: 20x20 cm, 30x30 cm and large: 40x40 cm. It is recommended to choose small or medium-sized tiles, since The smaller the tile, the more difficult it is to break.

Problems of choice

People who start looking at Kerama Marazzi tiles are usually no longer interested in products from other manufacturers - this is not necessary.

To make the right choice, several rules have been developed, compliance with which will help you make an error-free purchase.

Main qualities of tiles:

• wear resistance;
• hydrophobicity;
• resistance to impacts.

The degree of protection of the material from water and aggressive environments is indicated by the letters A, B, C, D.

Class A is the most resistant, and varieties designated AA are super resistant to any aggressive liquids and environments, even acids.

Class D are decorative tile options that are not intended for use in adverse conditions.

An important property - wear resistance, abrasion resistance, is of great importance when choosing floor tiles. The degree of wear resistance increases in order of magnitude and is indicated by Roman numerals.

Products with degree five are installed in high traffic areas, for example, in a popular shopping center.

For homes, tiles with wear resistance from one to three are purchased.

In addition to the aesthetic component of the tile, color and size are important - then the choice will be correct.

Color

People think about it first, and usually the first thing that comes to mind is white. It expands the space and emphasizes other decorative elements; in addition, white color has the following options: warm, cold and with shades.

But views on traditional color solutions can change significantly if you choose Kerama Marazzi tiles. The range of colors and textures will make it possible to think in other terms.

Size

The dimensions of the tiles depend on the area of ​​the room; complete freedom to choose the format is permissible only if the bathroom or kitchen is spacious.

If the rooms are cramped, then:

• too large a tile will reduce the space - only a few large geometric shapes will be visible;
• mosaics on the walls will turn a small room into a miniature one;
• A large drawing or pattern, as well as many small drawings, will also work.

Therefore, for bathrooms and kitchens with small areas you will have to stick to the medium size. Kerama Marazzi takes into account all possible options and offers incredible options for the buyer of any apartment size, because the walls can be moved apart or completely forgotten about.

Advantages and disadvantages

Bathroom tiles from the Marazzi Group are internationally renowned among designers, contractors and end clients alike. Its popularity is due to the following advantages:

• High quality. Both production facilities are equipped with Italian equipment, which is constantly updated. At all stages, compliance with European quality standards is checked.

• Easy care. Maintaining cleanliness will be limited to simply wiping the surface with a damp cloth or sponge when dirty; Standard cleaning products will do. A specially treated surface protects the tiles from the effects of household chemicals.

The disadvantages are not related to the tile itself, but to errors during its installation. If you do the cladding improperly and handle the tiles carelessly, they will inevitably start to crack. The disadvantage can be easily circumvented if you entrust the finishing work to a specialist.

For kitchen

Tiles for the kitchen are selected according to slightly different criteria than for the bathroom:

• Humidity is much lower, but there is a possibility of exposure to aggressive substances, so you should pay attention to chemical resistance, moisture resistance is in second place.
• Tiles on the floor in the kitchen are constantly exposed, including to abrasive substances - a material of at least third wear resistance class is suitable.

For both the kitchen and the bathroom, it is important how slippery the tiles are, so polished options are not suitable.

If water gets on the polished surface, moving on the floor will become dangerous.

The following series are popular from the Kerama Marazzi range:

• "Gamma" (developed specifically for the kitchen).
• “Accord” is a universal option with several color and decorative options.
• The English collection – pastel colors and British restraint.
• Indian collection - there is everything you can imagine, including natural wood texture.
• Stone textures are presented in the “Two Venices” and “Triumph” collections. Worth paying attention are the series, which include sets of wall and floor tiles that combine gloss on the walls and a matte surface on the floor.

The purchased sets are complemented by borders, corners and baseboards - in the style and color of the chosen option.

The choice of tiles for the kitchen occurs according to the following rules:

• the number of tiles is calculated with a margin of at least 10%;
• a practical option for kitchen tiles: smooth, non-glossy surfaces on the walls, rough material on the floor, preferably with decorative irregularities;
• mosaic tiles are more difficult to install and take longer to install;
• the apron above the work area has to be washed frequently, so decorative tiles will not work;
• the kitchen is often laid out and decorated in warm colors, but cold colors help reduce appetite;
• the colors of the kitchen tiles are in harmony with the furniture;
• mosaic panels, ornaments and patterns, executed correctly, will make the kitchen unique.

The collection of mosaics for the apron also includes floor panels made of tiles, stylized as Japanese embroidery.

Mosaic tiles are made up of individual chips that can be easily joined together and secured onto a flexible backing.

For floor

Typically, tiles are laid in the kitchen and hallway; in the bathroom, a material that does not slip is laid - usually matte tiles with irregularities, non-glazed versions of the material.

Glossy floors are very impressive, but when water gets on them they become slippery, like ice.

It is safer to lay tiles with a lapped or rough surface.

Porcelain stoneware is a durable material, but it is quite cold, so a warm floor is often installed underneath it.

Some tips for choosing

• When choosing tiles, special attention should be paid to the compatibility of tones and shades. At the same time, it is not necessary to buy tiles belonging to the same series;
• floor tiles should not be very slippery, they should be combined with tiles on the walls; if tiles with colored prints are used, then for the floor it is better to choose dim plain tiles or tiles imitating wood or stone;
• You should not lay the floor in the kitchen with ceramic tiles; for this it is better to use porcelain tiles; simple tiles can crack if heavy kitchen utensils fall on the floor;
• if the choice fell on a bright floral print, then you should “dilute” it with plain tiles in calm tones;
• You should not choose too dark tiles for the walls and splashback or lay out the walls and splashback with tiles of contrasting colors, unless, of course, this is suggested by the interior design.

5 tips on how to choose the right apron

Choosing a kitchen apron is a responsible task. There are design rules that will help you choose the color shade and style of this finish:

1. If this is not provided for in the design project, the tone of the apron should not be darker than the floor, otherwise it will inevitably become the only color accent.

2. In a small room, a light finish is preferable to a dark one, as it allows you to visually expand the space.

3. The smaller the kitchen, the smaller the size of a single tile should be to avoid a feeling of dissonance.

4. When buying tiles in stores, carefully inspect each single copy: there should be no deformations on them, for example, chips or scratches. If the material is of high quality, there is every chance that the kitchen apron will serve you for a long time.

5. It is not necessary to use the material as written on the label. Both floor tiles and bathroom tiles can be used as a backsplash - the main thing is that they perform their functions.
