What’s under foot: aD iNDex floor trends from tile of spain technology and style are the symbiotic forces behind innovations in Spanish ceramics. Advancements like skinny tile – tile so thin it can be installed directly over existing tiles in renovations, saving time and money. Smart nano-technologies pair the high thermal mass of ceramics with radiant heat to create luxuriously warm surfaces that are also energy efficient. Design is driven by technology. Inkjet decoration techniques provide the means to decorate highly textured surfaces in mass production. It is now possible to recreate textile, stone, metal or wood flooring looks. A revival of vintage designs reinterpreted and distressed or weathered looks impart history to modern designs.
