Tiled Mall Lobby
I’m not in a rush yet to talk about aesthetic factors for floor tiles in shopping malls. We will first investigate the quality within each tiles. In each mall, they host hundreds of thousands of customers every day. Therefore, the tiles must meet the following criteria:
- First, non-slip tiles, good maxat, otherwise objects such as the elderly and young children are at risk of slippery and extremely dangerous accidents.
- Second, the tiles must be subjected to high pressure. If the bearing capacity is poor, it should not be chosen due to heavy traffic, poor-quality tiles will easily crack and break, replacement is time-consuming and affect the vibration scene.
- Third, it is advisable to use large tiles such as 1200×1200 mm, 2400×2400 mm. because the space in the shopping center is relatively large, large-format tiling will minimize the tiles joints, increase the aesthetics of the space.
- Fourth, it is convenient to use neutral tiles, not too flashy. You can combine the tiling in many ways such as: herringbone, crisscross, altar or tiling according to the rhythm. Large glass cellophane types are often preferred when flooring in shopping malls. Basically because it adds luxury, it creates depth to the space. Also, the special areas used for decoration and miniatures should use wooden tiles and create creative mosaics to create a unique feature for the space.
Public Bathroom Tiles Shopping Center
With the public toilet area of the shopping center, it is advisable to choose cement tiles or false tiles will be relatively suitable. According to the evaluation of many architects, the cleaner the color of the cement tiles used, the more likely it is to be the ideal color for tiling the bathroom area. However, the public restrooms are part of the mall, so the overall design needs to blend in with the ensemble. The colors of the tiles must be synchronized with the common space, it is not recommended to choose colors that light up the tone and separate the whole.
