How to choose the right office floor
Today, in office design, the well-being and happiness of employees are assumed to be one of the most important values to be taken into account.
Organising spaces well, choosing ergonomic furniture, introducing informal meeting spaces, relaxation areas, natural and artistic elements: these are all important steps for a successful project, but they are not enough. In this article we will focus on the choice of office flooring and discover how porcelain stoneware can make a difference in the working environment, contributing to safety, comfort and harmony.
Safety, hygiene and resistance: why porcelain stoneware is the perfect material for office floors
Porcelain stoneware is the ideal material for floor coverings and large surfaces where there is a lot of traffic and foot traffic because, first and foremost, it achieves the safety and hygiene standards imposed by current regulations.
Firing in kilns that exceed a temperature of 1200 °C makes porcelain stoneware totally fireproof; it does not react to fire and does not produce toxic gases in the event of fire or high temperatures because it does not contain any traces of plastic materials. Porcelain stoneware is also non-absorbent (a valuable partner against stains, humidity and mould), thus preventing the proliferation of germs and bacteria.
Ceramic porcelain stoneware floors are easy to clean and do not require constant maintenance with special treatments, but only the use of a normal floor cleaner.
Another important characteristic of this extraordinary material is its resistance to sudden shocks, daily stresses (due to considerable foot traffic) or the constant rubbing of chairs, as well as the accidental dropping of objects.
Different rooms through the choice of flooring: versatility and aesthetics of surfaces
Porcelain stoneware is an appropriate choice for office flooring because it can significantly improve the aesthetic impact of rooms, making spaces functional to their destination of use. All this, of course, is possible thanks to the extraordinary aesthetic versatility of this material. The great variety of finishes (metal, wood, marble, stone and cement, to name just a few), colours and formats of porcelain stoneware slabs make it possible to recreate the desired mood in offices.
For example, it is possible to delimit certain areas intended for the kitchen or canteen with the use of specific, more neutral finishes thanks to the cement effect of the Prima collection, as well as to contribute to the customisation of workstations or the creation of common areas for gathering and leisure with more eclectic material effects.
To add a touch of elegance, focusing on the harmony and wellbeing of natural colours, one just has to explore the warm nuances of the wood effect of the Cocoon collection combined with the more structured stone surfaces of the Core collection. For those who prefer essentiality in office furnishing, perhaps in a chic-industrial context, the metal effect of the Alchemy collection is ideal for recreating spaces with a minimalist style.
As we have seen in this article, choosing porcelain stoneware for office coverings is very advantageous.
