Chester Walnut Tile:
Chester Walnut Tiles are high-quality porcelain tiles that sport a wood-like appearance. They are ideal in both residential and commercial spaces.
Advantages:
- They are scratch, stain, moisture, and spill resistant.
- Offer high levels of customization and design flexibility.
Factors to consider:
- They don’t fully replicate the feel and texture of authentic wood.
- They require professional installation.
Rectangular Shape Countertop Basin:
It is a bathroom sink that sits on top of the vanity or countertop rather than recessed into it. Its rectangular shape offers a sleek and modern look to any bathroom design. The material options of this basin include ceramic, porcelain, and stone.
Advantages:
- Easy installation.
- Require minimal plumbing modifications.
Factors to consider:
- Its flat surface can accumulate more water spots and soap residue, leading to frequent cleaning.
- Its height might not be suitable for people with shorter stature.
Up and Down LED Wall Light:
This light fixture emits light upwards and downwards, creating stylish lighting effects on walls. The parameters for selecting these lights are the color temperature of the LED, the wattage and lumen output, the beam angle, and the material and configuration of the fixture itself.
Advantages:
- They are the perfect choice for highlighting specific decorative or architectural features of any residential/commercial space.
- They are energy-efficient.
Factors to consider:
- The upward and downward lighting effects might create more glare when compared to other lighting fixtures.
- Light emission is limited.
Federico Brown Vitrified Tiles:
They are porcelain tiles that offer a natural stone-like appearance and are ideal for residential and commercial applications.
Advantages:
- They are resistant to wear and tear and highly suitable for hallways, entryways, and kitchens.
- They are easy to maintain and need seasonal sealing to resist stains.
Factors to consider:
- The natural stone appearance is not suitable for all design styles.
- The installation of these tiles is very challenging and time-consuming.
