Kerama Marazzi kitchen tiles are an unrivaled blend of Italian ceramic style, cutting edge techniques, stylish decor and flexible prices. This trademark produces cladding products known on the world market.

history of the company

Kerama Marazzi is part of a multinational association, which was formed on the basis of an Italian factory for the production of cladding materials. In our state, there are currently two factories under this brand: one has been registered in Orel since the beginning of the 90s of the last century, and the second has been in the city of Stupino near Moscow since 2006. The most popular designers take part in the production of products, therefore in the warehouses of these factories there are both classic products and trendy ones. Actual thematic collections are released annually. Tiles, porcelain stoneware, mosaics from various rulers are presented at the choice of buyers.

The company's products have distinctive features and beautiful designs. The tile is manufactured in a high-tech production facility, it undergoes a three-stage control. The manufactured products compete with similar facing materials in the international market space.

The company offers ceramic cladding material for the design of any room, but the greatest demand is for kitchen tiles and materials for the bathroom.

Application in the kitchen

The kitchen is a special space in the home where food is prepared, and it is also here that you can receive guests. Floors and walls should have such a coating that will not deteriorate with temperature changes, interaction with steam, splashing water. In addition, it is necessary that the material is well washed. The most suitable material for kitchen cladding is tile. It has the following favorable characteristics:

  • environmentally friendly - the Italian cladding is made from natural materials;
  • reliable and resistant to wear;
  • moisture-proof and resistant to increasing and decreasing temperature conditions;
  • a wide variety of products that will be used in the interior.

Cladding material of the same type is usually used for the design of floors and walls, so it is possible to choose the right combination without spending much effort. At the same time, you can select products for different surfaces from different types of material. But here you should follow certain rules:

  • for the floor, the tile is chosen much darker than for the walls;
  • when choosing floor tiles, it is better to focus on non-shiny and non-slip, at the same time, glossy wall cladding will help to visually make the room larger;
  • a different tile shape is chosen for different surfaces - so, for the floor, you can lay out a pattern in the form of rectangles or ceramic parquet, and on the walls there can be patterns of square tiles;
  • if the room is small, then the tiles should be chosen in smaller sizes, because large tiles will create the feeling of a cramped space.

In a limited area, you do not need to use an intricate pattern - it is better to decorate the walls with a simple pattern.

Speaking about the positive features, it should be noted that when choosing tiles from Kerama Marazzi, there will be no problems with quality. But when purchasing facing products, you need to pay attention to some signs.

  • The cladding material must be from the same batch - this will guarantee that there is no discrepancy in colors and sizes. If the products are from different boxes, then they may differ in shades and because of this, the lining will look ugly.
  • The back of the cladding should be smooth. To check this, you need to attach the tile to any base and press it well - its edges should fit snugly against the wall or floor.
  • Facing products should not be cracked and should not have chips that appear as a result of transportation without following the rules.

When purchasing a tile for a room, it is necessary to add a margin of at least 10%, because the material during installation can break due to its fragility, it can be cut in the wrong way, the tile can get caught with a marriage. Pastel colors are used for the kitchen interior: beige, orange, brown, pink, white. Shades of blue and green should be applied very carefully.

The kitchen can be tiled with pictures of kitchen equipment and items, as well as food (for example, the Muffin series with a picture of cupcakes). Tiles from the "Greenhouse" series with fruits and flowers look very original.

There is a tile without decor, which many people like - it all depends on taste preferences. Tiles of the same tone will look beautiful and unusual if their colors are coordinated with the pieces of furniture.

Tiling

Laying surfaces with Kerama Marazzi tiles can be done by hand. Here you need the following parts: a tile cutter, a spatula to apply the prepared glue, plastic spacers. To make glue, you need a special drill attachment.

Previously, the surface must be cleaned of old material (in the event that it took place, the surface is leveled and primed). Now the prepared glue is distributed - it is applied strictly to the surface, but not to the tile. Now, tiles are laid out on this surface, using plastic crosses as dividers, which make it possible to make the seams between the rectangles of the tile even. In this case, it is necessary to apply a level in order to determine whether the facing products are laid evenly. When the work is completed, the crosses are removed, and a special grout is used for the seams, removing the excess with a spatula from rubber or a sponge.

The products of the Italian company are much more expensive than ordinary domestic tiles, but the higher price guarantees the quality and the fact that when facing the walls there is no danger of a discrepancy between sizes and colors.

  • unique design solution;
  • rich assortment of colors and storylines;
  • shiny, matte and embossed surfaces;

Buying a tile from a leading brand is not just getting square or rectangular ceramics, but buying a product that also includes borders and inserts. This makes it possible to create a masterpiece that will decorate the floor and walls of the kitchen.
