Ceramic woods are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also safe, durable and easy to clean.

 

Wood is welcome in all its facets, but let's be specific: we understand wood as a material extracted from a natural trunk, although if we speak in terms of materials for architecture, the range of possibilities expands. One of the options is wood-like ceramic, and you can check MindTile to get inspired by a number of different environments.

It should be noted that the production of ceramic wood follows a demanding process, in which the commitment to the environment is a priority, optimizing water and energy resources as much as possible, as well as reducing CO2 emissions. There are ceramic slat options manufactured with a high percentage of recycled material.

The meteoric rise of natural wood-like ceramic 

 

The quality of the ceramic finish is resistant and unalterable over time, which has resulted in the use of this material for both indoor and outdoor flooring increasing considerably. Swimming pool environments or wet areas in general are much safer and easier to clean while maintaining the warmth of the natural product.

Ceramic wood has had a meteoric rise, reaching 30% of sales in 2019 according to a report by the Market Observatory of the Institute of Ceramic Technology.

With the latest technological advances, ceramic wood slats have become the alternative to natural wood. In terms of formats, we can find slats ranging from conventional to XXL sizes, depending on the model or the brand.

 

New value proposals 

 

One of the advantages of ceramics is that it makes it possible to decorate bathrooms, kitchens or terraces with wood, which  allows for continuous flooring throughout the entire home, thus maintaining coherence and order, in line with the latest trends in interior design.

Warm wood is confirmed as a key element for floor and wall coverings. Within the classic options, the proposals of comforting luxury with walnut or oak effect are a good option to combine with marble or stone, both natural and ceramic.

In the furniture sector, marquetry is being modernized to offer a more contemporary look. To this end, it has specialized in natural dyes and is launching colored designs with new geometries. Ceramic seeks to accompany this trend in both flooring and cladding by combining different types of wood in different shades and chessboard-style geometries.

Brushed and worn oak parquet brings us closer to more natural styles, such as Urban Rustic or Nordic. These styles of interior design are those that provide a modern approach through elements from the rural world, in combination with other more contemporary elements. Ceramic has evolved in designs, touch and warmth to the point of making it extremely difficult to distinguish natural wood from ceramic.

 

Wood: protagonist of the space 

 

We put the spotlight on dark colored wood, as it has become a key element for furniture and interior surfaces, offering a distinctly modern look with a focal point in the space.

Walnut remains a popular choice thanks to its warm shades and retro appeal.  Ceramic offers minimal geometries to enhance the elegant finish of the pieces. Combining it with glass and metals can be a very good idea to add aesthetic value to the space.

 

Plywood pieces in 3D shapes give a more dynamic feel to all surfaces. Furniture introduces this type of effect to give the design a contemporary feel and movement. Digital technology facilitates this type of design in both furniture and ceramic surfaces.

Opportunity: Ceramic wood for swimming pool 

 

Finally, we would like to focus on the options of wood-like ceramic for swimming pool areas. One of its many advantages is that it provides a comprehensive solution to the entire swimming pool space. In addition, it offers the possibility of installing the slats with an accessible system, as shown in the picture. Wood-like ceramic meets the need for a natural product while guaranteeing durability, hygiene and safety. There are many models of ceramic slats that adapt to the design of contemporary terraces,
