In the beginning <\/em>tiles were the\nfavourite finish for house walls. Ubiquitous in our bathrooms and kitchens,\nthey mainly fulfilled a practical need: to make the room more hygienic and\nfunctional, easier to clean. Aesthetics were a secondary aspect, second to the\nneed to ensure hygiene and at the same time the resistance of walls exposed to\nintense use and to equally intense cleaning.     The\ndiscovery of materials that are able to combine high resistance with a high\naesthetic result gave new meaning to the wall tiles of the house, transforming\nwhat was predominantly a practical choice into a stylistic one. Thus the tiles,\nwhile remaining a characteristic element of the kitchen and bathroom, have\nfound their way into every room. From functional element they have become an\nornamental one, capable of furnishing and characterising spaces, giving shape\nand substance to creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interior surfaces: a matter of style<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choice of interior wall surfaces, therefore, has become an expression of one\u2019s style<\/strong>. Tiles are a decorative element, if not an actual furnishing accessory. The high versatility of the latest materials, and the extraordinary variety of textures and colours, deliver an element with limitless potential into the hands of interior designers. Just think, for example, of the option of creating specific ambiances, characterising rooms or corners of the house with a personal touch: wall tiles combine with the decorating elements of the room, enhancing its lines and colours, enriching and even defining its style. Chic, country, total white, total black, classic and refined, the list could go on: the possible variations of wall coatings are endless. The important thing is to choose a suitable material, capable of assuring quality and resistance as well as beauty.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santamargherita Surfaces: ideal for making your walls come to life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SM Quartz and SM Marble represent an excellent choice for those who wish to cover their walls with highly aesthetic materials which, at the same time, assure the performance and potential of a technically advanced surface. The only aspect requiring particular attention is the format that you want to use and therefore the overall weight of the installation<\/strong>, which substantially changes the installation procedures. Although it is still possible to use the special glues up to the 60×60 cm format, for higher formats it is necessary to install a special system of hooks and tracks to support the greater weight of the tiles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing with colours and\nvolumes: give creativity a free hand<\/strong>       <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wide range of textures, grains and colours of SM Marble and Quartz ensures a wide variety of possible combinations, such as the option to create original chromatic compositions, also by playing with the volumes of the surfaces and transforming them into real structural elements.  This is what happened with one of the Jigsaw Shops in London, where architects Dalziel & Pow chose SM Marble \u2013 Arabescato Bianco from Santamargherita for walls, as well as for floors. In this project tiles have been used as real decorating accessories. Particularly interesting is the wall where shelves have been installed inside a circular nook, creating an effect that is modern and at the same time elegant and refined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
