Weekend Argus (Saturday Edition)
Quality, style and always good value
WE ALL know that building costs are increasing and many of you are either in the middle of your renovations or have already committed to start building your dream home. Savings of any kind especially on finishes are always welcome. Where better to visit than the Italcotto Design Centre who has the latest tile trends offering uncomprised quality, excellent value and the latest styles.
This month we have selected tiles at really excellent prices. These selections are part of the latest tile trends including cement and stone looking tiles as well as the ever popular subway tiles.
Cement and stone porcelain tiles Both cement and stone looking tiles offer natural beauty without the maintenance and cleaning associated with natural finishes. On offer are the Minimal and Cementum range of 1st Grade Porcelain Tiles available in five colors in 600x600mm format and the Stone Series in 800x800mm format in 3 natural tones.
Subway tiles Our Subway tile range includes eight versatile colors; white gloss and matt, black gloss, grey gloss, and red and blue gloss. “Subway tile” is named for its use in subway terminals in New York City. Although it's traditionally a glazed, white, rectangular tile, twice as wide as it is high there is a range of options when it comes to designing your subway tile splash back. Whether you're going for a simple, mainstream look with white tile with grey grout, or you'd rather create a look that's ornate and features borders, inserts, or accent tiles, subway tiles are a classic material that you'll be able to enjoy for many years.
Small lots There are also many bargains to be had as we have plenty small lots of tiles and décor at up to 50% off and end of line, basins, taps, and showerheads and more from as little as R50. All stock must be cleared, so come on down to the Italcotto Design Centre, you going to get a great deal. Choosing the correct floor finish When it comes to improving your home, your choice of flooring is one of the most important decisions you need to make. The material of the floor is an integral part of your overall home design. Your choice of floor depends on many factors like interior design, installation area, application, maintenance, costs and installation.
Floor tiles need to be more than just attractive; they also need to be strong and durable.
Some materials are best as a cost effective floor covering for the short term while some can be an investment to your home that will last for a generation or more.
We are always willing to assist with tile layouts and color combinations to ensure you are completely satisfied with your selection. We also have an exclusive range of Italian engineered wood in three unfinished grade selections with numerous color options available for you to choose from. New additions to our range of tiles are our exclusive range of real granite in an awesome 600x1200mm format. Granite is a perfect floor finish for both interior and exterior applications
