The client’s brief was to seamlessly join two areas of tiled flooring, one upstairs and one down. They wished for a seamless flow throughout, giving the stairwell a light and airy feel whilst being hard wearing and practical. CJH Tiling removed all the carpet, secured the stairs to minimise deflection and then over boarded the stairs. Dural were contacted and supplied powder coated trims. The trims were custom powder coated by Dural to match the exact colour of the tiles and grout as part of their Alternative Finishes Range.
Dural offers a complete service that allows the customer to use a sample from their desired project and powder coat your trim or profile to match seamlessly, in this instance, a smoke grey. Coloured accessories are available in any RAL colour and for this project Dural matched them to the tile colour. They are often used in stairwells because of their durability. All the powder coated finishes are hard wearing and accommodate footfall.
Colour matching allows you, the client, to introduce a whole new dimension to your project. Here the client chose to colour match the trims to the tile but kept the grouting light to add a sense of geometry. For those wanting a seamless, carpet like feel to their project, it is also possible to colour match the edging accessories to the grout colour. Here the large scale grey tile and trims, blend nicely with the warm wood bannister in Oak and complement the clean light grout choice. www.colouredmovementjoints.co.uk
