A minimalist tile
The floor made of acrylic resin is the idea of the Italian brand Metropolis for the floor in a post-industrial loft or a modernist apartment. The perfectly smooth surface finished with Metrostone is not only impressive, but also very practical in everyday use.
From factories to designer lofts
Until recently, resin floors were associated mainly with floors in factory and industrial premises. With the development of their production technology, producers and consumers began to appreciate the decorative qualities of this type of finish. Resin floors perfectly harmonize with the very fashionable loft style, as well as minimalist interior design.
They can perfectly imitate concrete surfaces or create a uniform color coating on the floor. Selected brands also offer resin floors, which, depending on the creativity of the contractor, will take the form of fancy patterns. In addition to the visual aspects, their great advantage is the usability.
The resin floor creates a durable, hard and mechanically very resistant finishing layer. Acrylic resin is a jointless material, which is its significant advantage over e.g. ceramic tiles. Thanks to this, these floors are easy to keep clean, even in difficult rooms, full of troublesome nooks and crannies.
Wall and floor decoration specialists
If you are thinking about finishing the floor in the living room, kitchen or bathroom with acrylic resin, it is worth choosing a proven product that will not only be convenient to apply, but above all create a durable and decorative coating. The products of the Italian brand Metropolis, which belongs to the Ivas group, a manufacturer of wall and floor decoration materials, are highly appreciated by specialists. This company has been continuously producing high-quality decorative plasters and acrylic resins since 1953.
One of the most popular products in the Metropolis portfolio is Metrostone, a two-component acrylic resin that contains quartz particles. Interestingly, Metrostone mass can be used to decorate not only the floor, but also the wall surfaces. Metrostone forms a thin layer of 2 millimeters on the substrate with a matt finish. It is ideal for underfloor heating because, compared to other finishing materials, it causes very little heat loss.
Comprehensive execution of the resin floor will take 4 to 5 days. Resins from the Metrostone collection are available in a palette of 18 basic colors, including white, gray and warm earth tones. In addition, the resin allows you to create fancy patterns of varying intensity and complexity on the floor.
Metrostone can be applied on cement plasters, concrete substrates or ceramic floors (after additional preparation of the substrate). Before applying the main product - Metrostone CEM, it is necessary to apply Metrostone Prime. The mass is applied in 2 layers with an interval of 24 hours. Finally, the surface is protected after another 72 hours with a transparent Metrostone Matt preparation.
Two coats of the product should be applied (also 24 hours apart). Metrostone Matt creates a film on the floor that increases its resistance to chemical, mechanical and temperature loads. Metropolis brand resin is a fully ecological product, produced on the basis of water without the addition of solvents.
