Why use two material
There are several reasons for choosing two types of finishing in the interior of the room.
The first and, perhaps, the main is practical. The tile is a more wear-resistant material, he is not afraid of humidity and dampness, temperature effects. It is easy to wash. Laminate is a more decorative coating, it is not so resistant to water. Their mix can solve the problem of wet sections. For example, in the kitchen, the working area is decorated with ceramics, and guest and dining room - laminated board. In the hallway, the inlet is often discontinued.
The second reason is functional. The combination of laminate and tiles on the floor can visually divide the space on the zone. It is relevant for the combined premises, such as kitchen-living room, and studios. In small apartments, such a solution is even preferable, because it does not overload the interior in contrast to partitions and simpleness. You can enhance the effect using furniture, such as a bar rack or a soft group: sofas, chairs.
Different finishing materials can be corrected by the geometry of the room. This is relevant for narrow premises, the same hallway with a long corridor. The combination of laminate and tiles on the oblong kitchen can visually expand the space, especially when the tile pattern is properly selected and the board layouts.
Finally, porcelain stoneware or ordinary tile can carry a purely decorative function. Geometric prints, abstraction - using the designers pattern give the interior speaking, support other elements.
These are the obvious advantages of the coating combination. But this reception and cons, which is also worth thinking carefully. The first and main thing is docking. How do you place the coverage boundary? We will talk a little more about this below. If there is no threshold, protrusion or elevation in the floor finish, the materials will have to pick up even in thickness.
Note that the laminated board under the influence of temperature and humidity may be deformed. This means that you need to determine exactly where the wet zone will end.
It is not always necessary to zonate the room with the help of finishing. After all, the effect of fragmented space is escaped then it will be difficult. In some cases, it is better, on the contrary, visually combine areas.
Combination options in different rooms
Most often, the combination of tile and laminate is used in the kitchen, in the hallway and in the living room. We offer more details to consider photos of designers projects in which this technique is used.Kitchen
The combination of finishing is such a universal solution that it is also used in the classic style, and in Scandinavian, and even in minimalism. Does not play roles and form headset.
- With a linear layout, the tiles are laying out a wide band along the workspace.
- The same applies to M-shaped cabinets.
- If you have a p-shaped headset with an island, possible options for two. You can also repeat the letter P in the tile layout or make a rectangular area of ceramics. It is practical and easier in terms of implementation.
Separately, it is worth noting the design of the studio, in which the kitchen is located right at the entrance. She, as it were, combined with the hallway. In terms of finishing, this layout is convenient. You can extend the tile in the input zone for the dining room. Thus, the question will be automatically resolved with the worktop finish in the kitchen.
The combination of tiles and laminate in the hallway
The hallway can be used both tiles and porcelain stoneware. The second is highly durable, wear resistance and hardness, and it also withstands the temperature drops. However, its price is higher, and the choice of prints is already.
Choose a porcelain stoneware if you plan to beat a combination of natural materials, such as stone and wood. The products for marble are noble in modern and neoclassical interiors.
Geometrical prints that can be found in the assortment of ceramic tiles, and among the porcelain stoneware, suitable for the design of modern and Scandinavian interiors.
Carefully with the effect of "carpet". Usually it is quite motley products whose pattern can quickly get bored or exit fashion. And change the finish, in contrast to the real carpet, it is very difficult. When we advise you to pay attention to light products in the login zone. They are much more practical. On the dark surface, especially the dirt, dust and traces of divorce from water even after cleaning are well visible on the dark surface, especially semi-man. If you are not ready for special care for this zone, a matte tile in bright colors is what you need.
Living room
In the design of the living room mixing the finishing materials is most often in two cases.
The first is in the united room. The combined floor of the tile and laminate in the kitchen and in the dining area will perform practical function and zoning. Designers often have on the junction of the dining room.
In the living room in a private house, ceramic products are used in the design of the fireplace. This is a good solution for models in which no elevation or threshing is provided. Ceramics on the floor are chosen in the tone of the main finish of the fireplace or contrasting - there is no rules here.
Design of junctions
The choice of method of docking when combining two finishing materials depends on the budget and the result you want to receive. There are four main ways to connect.
- Grout. Not the most durable fastening option, but the most budget and simple performed. It is often used when carrying out work with their own hands. To increase the service life, the fastening is enhanced by silicone sealant.
- Silicone and acrylic sealant. With these compositions, it is also easy to work. But it is worth considering that after drying, they become light brown, and they can not paint them before than in a few days. Depends on the specific brand.
- Liquid cork. If the seam is narrow and complex shape, take care of this composition. It looks unusual, but does not work in all interiors.
- Various thresholds. If there are defects on the border, the difference in the height of materials or the junction falls on the discount, pay attention to this method of connection. Today you can find the thresholds for any styles: from wooden to brass.
