• Personal & varied: waxed concrete, lime plaster and so on facilitate creative, seamless bathroom design.
• Contemporary, spacious atmosphere for personal bathroom design.
• Durable, hygienic surfaces – designed for easy cleaning.

Tiles have been a firm feature in the bathroom for many years – for good reason. They were long considered the most reliable solution for floors and walls because they effortlessly fulfil the exacting requirements for water-resistance and durability. But that has changed: today a wide range of alternatives are available that meet these requirements just as well while also opening up completely new design opportunities.

Hygienic, easy to clean, and contemporary

Seamless bathrooms offer many benefits: because there are no joints, they avoid the unsightly discolorations that can arise over time – even with regular cleaning. At the same time, the smooth, uninterrupted surfaces prevent the build-up of mold, which could otherwise gain an easy foot-hold in the joints between the tiles. This not only makes the bathroom more hygienic, but also considerably easier to clean.
In visual terms, seamless surfaces convey a contemporary and minimalist impression. They make the room seem bigger and airier and showcase the bathroom design.

Unlimited design opportunities – personalized atmosphere

Varied colors, patterns, and materials afford a new level of freedom for seamless bathroom planning. Materials such as wood, natural stone, or various plasters and wall coverings create a minimalistic yet homely room effect. The bathroom acquires the potential to become a unique place of retreat that can be designed entirely in line with personal preferences.

Waxed concrete, lime plaster, wood, synthetic resin, and special wallpapers are ideal for seamless surfaces. Waxed concrete, a waterproof fine plaster, is well suited to contemporary bathrooms seeking to convey an industrial aesthetic. Lime plaster is a sustainable choice that is not only water-resistant, but can also incorporate pigments to create custom colors. Wood lends the room natural warmth, and varieties such as oak or teak are perfectly suited to the bathroom setting. Synthetic resin offers a resilient, easy-to-clean solution that is available in a wide range of colors and patterns. Even water-resistant wallpapers can be used creatively as long as they do not permanently come into contact with water.
