Ceramic tiles in an eco-home design project

Ceramics are more sustainable than many other raw materials like wood, and the production of ceramics is energy efficient. Known for their long lifespan, easy maintenance, and durability, ceramics are an ideal eco-friendly option for all design applications. Materials like porcelain offer many sustainable flooring advantages and are highly favoured by designers.

There are many ways eco-friendly tiles can be used, with floor and wall coverings being the most popular but many other applications are possible. From commercial design to residential projects, tiles offer a sustainable and earth friendly option that is stylish and full of unique features. Think kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces, powder rooms, wet rooms, bars, offices and more.

When it comes to designing sustainable floors, porcelain tiles are the perfect option. Our diverse range of ceramic products, from classic to modern styles, are ideal for creating versatile design layouts that blend style and functionality with a variety of sustainable benefits. Our stone-effect Boost Mix tiles are perfect for creating a sophisticated look that embodies timelessness, and pairs beautifully with contemporary design styles. Or to inject warmth and an element of the natural world, try our rich wood effect tiles.

Ceramic wall cladding is popular amongst designers. So, if you’re looking to create a high value and premium look, ceramic wall cladding is the perfect option. Seen in classical and modern eco-buildingsalike, tiled wall cladding creates an elegant aesthetic and is recommended for large hallways, bathrooms and open-plan living spaces. Marble effect tiles with subtle graining are perfect for achieving this dramatic, sophisticated look in your sustainable house.

In sustainable building design, ceramic tiles can be used to create the perfect outdoor facade. More than just providing a hard exterior, this can also become a piece of art. By using sustainable ceramictiles, the building will more easily fit in with the environment around it. Concrete is a highly-sought after material in modern architecture, so our Boost Natural Pro tiles with their hand-crafted concrete effect will help you achieve a modern-looking facade.

Commercial-grade ceramic tiles are the material of choice for developers for use in commercial spaces like shops, shopping centres and public spaces. Our wall and floor tiles are suitable for a variety of commercial and public applications. Our product range includes a wide choice of colours, effects and finishes which perfectly fit into business spaces, restaurants, bars and hotels.

Ceramic tiles work wonders in kitchens and bathrooms. From showers to worksurfaces, the character of our tiles complements any style and aesthetic. Our stone effect porcelain tiles, or our delicately textured travertine effect tiles, offer an effortless elegance when paired with a neutral colour palette. And for added drama, the Black Tempest marble effect tiles paired with modern furniture and fixtures, white walls and gold fittings is the ultimate combination.

Although they are most often to be found in kitchens and bathrooms, there are many different ways ceramic tiles can be used in a modern eco-home. Many interior designers prefer tiles over other materials because of their versatility and sustainability. Pattern, colour and texture, the holy trinity of interior design, can be injected into spaces through tiles.

When designing a sustainable bathroom, a lot of thought goes into energy and water saving measures, but that’s only part of the story. The materials chosen for the bathroom also have a huge impact on how eco-friendly the design is. And, as we mentioned above, ceramic being derived from natural materials makes it one of the most sustainable materials on the market. So whether you’re tiling from floor to ceiling or just decorating small accent features, our sustainable bathroom tiles can help you design a bathroom that’s both beautiful and sustainable.

Like with bathrooms, eco-friendly kitchens rely heavily on material selection. When it comes to selecting surfaces, durability and ease of maintenance are the two main features that all homeowners desire. Our kitchen tiles create stunning aesthetics, from pared-back minimalism to sun-baked mediterranean to sleek city living, and more. Embrace maximalism with our patterned tiles or bring the outside world in with our wood effectproducts. And with eco-friendly ceramic tiles, you can design a stunning home whilst being sustainable and considerate of the planet.
