Standing the Test of Time : Tiles from Stiles
House Jonker , winner of the sixth edition of The Quinquennial Tile Award , the international contest organised by Italian tile factory , Fincibec Group , is designed in a contemporary fashion with warm interior features that give it a homely feel .
Not only does Uptown by Century ( Fincibec Group ) provide the timeless natural look so many search for , it also allows for a full colour palette of these looks , a brighter rich colour palette that easily pair with the neutral interiors of this cosy feeling home . “ We accomplished this look by using a lot of contrast . Dark moody tones contrasted with lighter more natural tones ,” says Interior Designer , Marie De Lange of Kaza Interiors .
For Yvette Buitendag of Buitendag Architects , designing a home is about delivering structures that remain distinguished many years after their completion , not only being beautiful initially , but remaining beautiful over time . This is achieved in her design of House Jonker , and further enforced by the natural beauty and tile quality of Uptown from Century ( Fincibec Group ).
“ The colours , textures and designs of our Fincibec brands sell themselves . There is no need to explain the beauty and quality of these rich tiles . Thanks to the beautiful designs by Century , Monocibec and Naxos , clients see it as we do and immediately share our vision for their homes ,” adds Johan ( Drom ) Van Tonder , COO and Head of Sales at Stiles .
Colour Through Body Porcelain has a tinted colour through the body . It can therefore be termed colour through body , similar to Full Body Porcelain . It may also be known as mineralised porcelain . The glaze has been done with InkJet Printing , the development of ink jet printing on tiles has revolutionised the tile decoration process . One can now see more “ faces ” and get a much better feel of a natural product .
