This year's flooring trends, i.e. what will reign and dominate in the coming years in this field, can be summarized in a concise way: simplicity, naturalness and ecology. In terms of wooden floors and laminates, the most fashionable are rustic floors, i.e. with knots, discoloration, a clear grain pattern and natural wood colors, such as ash, oak or walnut. Natural stone floors, such as marble, limestone or sandstone, as well as ceramic and gres tiles, imitating natural ones, both in large sizes and in mosaics, are still very fashionable. How are these trends present in the skirting boards for floors? The most fashionable is the natural floor finish, i.e. wooden or wood-veneered slats are selected for wooden floors. Strips for stone, porcelain or mosaic floors are made of the same material as the entire floor, or we choose simple aluminum or steel strips for them.
Wooden and veneered skirting boards
If we have put on wooden floors in our interior, it is also worth opting for such finishing strips. A very popular solution - especially in the living room, dining room, hall or children's rooms, is the selection of wooden, PVC or veneered profiles exactly in the color of the floor. As you know, in the case of some types of floors (especially made of exotic wood) or panels (in fashionable shades of gray or white), it is not always possible to perfectly match the color of the boards. Especially in such a situation, it is worth remembering about the rich color palette of veneered aluminum profiles and PVC strips in our offer.
White strips and mounted flush with the wall
One of the frequently used floor finishes are white strips and installed flush with the wall. White or gray profiles are quite universal - they will harmonize with most arrangements and will match almost all floors and wall colors. The profiles mounted flush with the wall will suit minimalist and modern-style rooms. They can be installed in the hall, staircase or modernist living room. Often the strip is painted the same color as the wall.
Profiles made of ceramic tiles
Ceramic tiles are one of the popular floor finishing materials. Easily available, offering a multitude of patterns and colors, they allow you to adapt to the style of any interior. However, it should be remembered that the tiles should be properly secured with strips, not only for aesthetic reasons. The floors made of ceramic tiles are most often found in the kitchen and bathroom, on balconies and terraces. As they do not absorb water, they are therefore a suitable finishing material for outdoor surfaces and all rooms with very high humidity, such as toilets, bathrooms, stairs and corridors.
Aluminum and steel strips
Aluminum or steel strips are a simple and natural finish for different types of floors. They successfully complement wooden bords or floors, as well as stone and ceramic floors. No wonder that they are often found not only in the kitchen, dining room, modern living room or bedroom, but also in the staircase, hallway and bathroom. Made of the highest quality, stainless materials, they can be successfully used in any room. Not only do they not deform under the influence of moisture, but also remain resistant to mechanical damage. Finishing the floor with aluminum or steel strips is also a good way when we do not know how to connect floors made of completely different materials. A kitchen, where ceramic tiles dominate the floor, sometimes smoothly transforms into a living room lined with boards. In addition, the materials on the floors may slightly differ in height. In this case, we can use aluminum or steel tees. They will fill the expansion gap between the floors, at the same time levelling their height and providing them with a smooth, neat connection.
Our awareness of the surrounding natural environment grows more and more every year, we feel more and more that we are part of this system, which is why we use ecological and natural solutions more and more eagerly and more often. It is natural that these trends and tendencies dominate the design and colors of rooms more than ever before and are reflected not only in the most important elements, such as walls, floors, furnishings, but also in finishing strips - a small detail that determines the character of the room. interiors.
