What are the best floors and walls for wellness centers and spas? Answering this question is certainly not such an easy task. Personal care rooms aim to create an environment of refined design, while at the same time guaranteeing hygiene and safety. Those are fundamental qualities for recreating a relaxing atmosphere in a wellness center. Therefore, what material should be chosen to satisfy all these characteristics?
Interior design applications for a spa environment can be many. However, Isoplam® likes to talk about what it is an expert in, namely cementitious coverings. Isoplam® offers you a wide range of solutions capable of reproducing a contemporary and elegant design inside your wellness center, winking at the latest furnishing trends. Let's take a look one by one at the possibilities offered by the world of Isoplam®.
Microverlay, the versatility of resin cement
As mentioned, a few lines above, within an activity dedicated to personal care, attention to hygiene is certainly not secondary. For this very reason, the floors, and walls of wellness centres and spas must be suitable for quick and easy sanitization.
Microverlay resin cement, by Isoplam®, lends itself perfectly to this function.
In fact, microcement allows creating splendid continuous surfaces without joints of any kind. The monolithic appearance of the surface avoids the deposition of dust and bacteria, while the maintenance of the flooring becomes child's play: just use the specific detergent to remove all impurities in a few simple steps.
However, the advantages of microcement do not stop there: Microverlay stands out for its extremely reduced thickness of just 3 millimeters. This feature allows you to create floors and coverings for wellness centers and spas even on existing surfaces, saving on demolition and labor costs.
Coming to the aesthetic aspect, Microverlay finds its natural habitat in minimal and contemporary environments. However, it does not clash even when applied to other architectural styles, such as classic, country, or rustic. In fact, thanks to its 44 textures and colors, it can be applied practically everywhere. Moreover, its typical reduced thickness also makes it ideal for covering furniture or other architectural elements, giving the space a chic and original touch.
For example, Microverlay® Base White is ideal for recreating a cloud-like ambience in a massage room, which, with its characteristic whiteness, can create an enveloping atmosphere in which the tensions of everyday life can melt away.
Oxydecor: the metal effect conquers floors and walls for wellness centers and spas
Even the floors and walls for wellness centers and spas have not been able to resist the temptation of metal effects. Corten, zinc and copper are the colors that are now depopulating among the choices of numerous designers.
The effects offered by aged metals go hand in hand with the spread of the industrial style, which, after having conquered the United States and Northern Europe, begins to impose itself even at other latitudes. However, working the metal panels to create the desired coverings involves processes that are as difficult as they are costly. Isoplam® has therefore come up with a cheaper alternative with an extremely realistic aesthetic result: this is Oxydecor, a decorative paint that can create sensational vertical walls both indoors and outdoors. The result is almost identical to that of oxidized panels.
Specifically, the Oxydecor range consists of three products:
- Oxyrust, to reproduce the Corten effect, more commonly known as the" rust effect “.
- Oxyzinc, to reproduce the effect of zinc.
- Oxycopper, to reproduce the copper effect.
Oxydecor paints stand out for their versatility, so much so that they can be applied to any type of surface: plaster, but also wood and plastic. Our technicians used Oxyrust for the external walls of the QC Terme in Val di Fassa: the rust effect helped to add brightness and emphasize the features of the splendid structure set amidst the green and other surprising colors of the Dolomites.
Stone and wellness centers: a perfect combination
Thinking of floors and walls for wellness centers and spas, a reference to stone is inevitable. The rocks refer to mountain panoramas made of crystal-clear water streams and woods. The call to nature is a leitmotif of wellness centers that wish to recreate a somewhat Zen-like environment where customers can regenerate body and mind.
As already seen for metal effects, reproducing natural stone coatings and surfaces can be challenging from the point of view of processing and economic investment. Therefore, Isoplam® offers artificial rocks as an alternative, ensuring a final result that has nothing to envy to the natural version.
In the Isoplam® catalog, the products specifically designed to amaze with hyper realistic stone effects are:
- Plam Rock, a special fiber mortar ideal for recreating fake stones, waterfalls, caves, but also simple steps and tables.
- Plam Stone, the stone effect printed plaster to decorate internal and external walls.
For example, Plam Rock offers you the opportunity to create real architectural elements to embellish the outdoor pool of your wellness center with caves or waterfalls. Through the use of the special Plam Net metal and clay mesh, it is possible to recreate any shape.
Coming to the walls, Plam Stone is the ideal solution to give life to the most varied stone effects. Isoplam® printed plasters are obtained by preparing the substrate with Deco Primer Base, on which, once dry, the Plam Stone mixture is applied in a thickness of 1 to 2.5 cm. The resulting surface is then impressed with special molds or rubber rollers available in different textures. After drying, the coloring with Plam Wax or Plam Paint takes place, to give realistic shades of color. The protective resin Plam Sealing / O finally seals the work, guaranteeing extreme durability over time.
The possibilities for creating floors and walls for wellness centers and spas are many. The concrete solutions proposed by Isoplam® make it possible to obtain results with excellent aesthetic impact in a short time and at a low cost.
