Innovative flooring solutions
Creative interior and building design these days are pushing the limits of construction elements such as flooring. A good flooring option must be able to hold up against high levels of traffic, load, rough usage and considerable amount of hazards and staining agents while still remaining attractive and timeless.
It is for these reasons that tiles remain to be one of the most popular and preferred flooring options today—even more so with the advent of the latest innovations that have enhanced its durability, versatility and value for money.
Remain the same color
“Homeowners, interior designers and contractors are increasingly utilizing homogenous tiles,” explains Missy Castro, communications manager of Filipino flooring solutions leader APO Floors. As the name homogenous suggests, they bear the same material and color from surface to base. Thus, throughout the life of the tile, it will remain the same color, and not fade, as other types of flooring would.
Aside from its ability to resist wear and tear, homogenous tiles have a much lower water absorption rate. Castro adds: “Lower permeability to moisture makes tiles less absorbent to food or beverage stains. This ensures that the appearance of tiles do not change drastically even after prolonged use.”
As for aesthetics, homogenous tiles also fare very well, coming in a wide array of colors and textures to suit a variety of needs and preferences. Some designs have surfaces that can be polished to produce a glossy finish.
APO Floors’ AVQT line of homogenous resilient tiles even come with anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, which aid in keeping a clean and sanitary environment, especially in residential and commercial spaces. Some models even boast of unique anti-static properties, which enhance comfort and safety of residents and occupants.
Selected
APO Floors’ innovative AVQT tiles find application not only in residences and buildings, but also in creative projects such as television production sets. AVQT homogenous tiles were selected for a recent makeover of the studio setup of “The Bottom Line,” the top-rating talk show of TV personality Boy Abunda.
Meticulous planning went into the selection of appropriate flooring material for the set, to create a sophisticated and compelling atmosphere befitting the hard-hitting discussions and important personalities central to the show.
“Helping create the right living and working environment, both aesthetically and functionally, is always the goal of our flooring solutions,” says Castro.
APO Floors is the only Filipino maker of homogenous resilient tiles—a whole line of innovatively designed and environment-friendly flooring products that conform to global quality standards. For over 20 years and with a network of over 500 dedicated dealers, APO Floors has been the trusted partner of top developers, contractors, engineers and interior designers, lending its expertise to some of the country’s biggest residential and commercial projects.
