Modern Material Of Interior Design In The Spain
In Spain, different materials are used for interior design. Every day the combination of art, creativity and technology produces new materials in the world of architecture and interior design. A building is made up of different parts and for each of them special materials with specific properties must be used. For example, different types of walls use different coatings, including wallpaper, paint, wall tiles, wood, thermo-wood and others.
Also for the floor of the building can be used different materials such as carpet, parquet, ceramics, exposed concrete and so on. Due to the large number of materials, in this article from Arquimund website we would like to introduce you to some attractive materials for interior decoration.
THERMOWOOD
Thermowood is a wood material that is heated to a high temperature and then cooled; a process that dries at a temperature of 180-215 degrees Celsius with steam and air circulation. This makes thermowood resistant to cold, heat, rain, moisture, insects and any deformation indoors and outdoors. So thermowood is a good idea for the weather conditions in Spain and is excellent for interior design.
Use thermowood In the Interior Design
Attractive appearance and the removal of resin, means that this wood is ideal for interior projects such as:
Interior metal cladding
Sauna
Furniture
Interior flooring
What are the advantages of thermowood?
Dimensional stability
Less moisture absorption
Abrasion resistance
Lower thermal conductivity
Stable color of the wood
Removes non-toxic substances
Stable against fragility
Reduction of the bending coefficient
Nature lovers
Long life
light weight
Recyclable
What are the disadvantages of thermowood?
Lack of resistance to ultraviolet rays
Lower mechanical strength
Discoloration of thermowood if pigmented coatings are not used
MICRO -CEMENT
Microcement is a coating, polymer and organic-mineral composite based on cement, water-based resins, additives and mineral pigments that result in a unique and durable coating. In 2015, Microcement was voted one of the most unique coatings by architects and interior designers. This coating is perfect for interior and exterior design, horizontal and vertical coverings, and is a great option for anyone looking to create beauty with a concrete design and an affordable floor and wall covering.

FLOORING
When it comes to flooring in buildings, there is a wide variety of materials, including stone, ceramic, PVC, laminate, wood and…
Choosing the right flooring is especially important in interior design. When buying, consider things like traffic levels and where you plan to use the floor.
Ceramic flooring
Ceramic comes in glazed and unglazed varieties. In the glazed variety, the ceramic is covered with a glaze that can be matte, semi-gloss or glossy. The thickness of the ceramic is from 4 to 12 mm.
Stone floors
Stone flooring is one of the natural materials. A type of flooring is the most expensive building material. Architects often use building stone in kitchens and bathrooms.
Wood parquet flooring
The use of these floors creates a warm feeling in living spaces. As unique and luxurious as these floors are, they also have major drawbacks. Since they made of wood, moisture and water will destroy them and the parquet will break after a while.
Laminate floors
Laminate is a type of parquet flooring that desiners designed it to solve the problems of wooden parquet. The life of this type of flooring is almost thirty years. Laminate is made of pressed wood or HDF fibers. The processing of laminate parquet is similar to wood parquet, but they do not made them directly from wood.
PVC or vinyl flooring
PVC flooring is very durable and resistant to water and moisture, making it a good choice for kitchens. The PVC flooring is also economical and cheaper than laminate and wood parquet.
Bamboo Floors
We consider bamboo floors a subcategory of wood floors. One of the advantages of bamboo floors is their strength and good looks. Although these floors do not appear to have high strength and hardness, in reality this is not the case. We can equate the hardness of bamboo wood to that of oak wood. One of the advantages of bamboo floors is compatibility with any type of weather.
