Seamless flooring vs. traditional floor coverings 

This edition of Floors Encapsulated explores the growth of seamless flooring systems.  

Tile manufacturers across the globe are increasing the dimensions of their floor tiles, branding them as large-format tiles in an effort to keep up with global design trends.  

Modern flooring 

Seamless flooring systems, such as polished concrete, coloured thinset cementitious screeds, epoxy and quartz carpet flooring, provide a range of benefits that traditional flooring simply cannot match.  

These systems offer a sleek, modern seamless aesthetic that aligns with the clean lines and minimalist designs favoured in contemporary architecture. Seamless flooring systems can be customised in an almost infinite variety of finishes, colours and textures.  

Practicality 

Known for their durability, ease of maintenance and resistance to stains, seamless flooring systems are an ideal choice for both residential and commercial spaces.  

By eliminating grout lines and seams found in tiled floors, it reduces the risk of dirt and bacteria build-up and makes them far easier to clean.  

International trends 

Design trends are increasingly moving towards these innovative flooring solutions, with architects and designers in South Africa following suit.  

By embracing the possibilities of seamless flooring, designers can not only keep up with global trends but also lead the way in creating cutting-edge spaces that challenge the status quo. 

The case for seamless flooring systems as design trends evolve.
