Tiling
Splashbacks, floors, walls,
More often than not, when reforming an older Spanish property (or sometimes not
so old!) is that the tiles have been hung using butting method. The benefit is to the
builder, as it is less time consuming and cheaper on materials.
The problem with this method is that with our climate here in Andalucia, where we
have high temperatures, high humidity and seasonal variations of these, surfaces
expand and contract accordingly. This causes the tiles to lift away from the
concrete base they were put on.
This impacts on: hygiene, aesthetics and of course property value.
Pueblo Interiors Solution
Other than marble tiles we use a series of spacers to compensate for this.
This takes a little extra time but the long term advantages are that the tiles stay in
place.

Corian
CORIAN® is a versatile design material, with many uses across a wide range of sectors. In the home – where it began – Corian® creates beautiful kitchens and bathrooms, furniture and lighting. But it can also be found in shops, restaurants, hospitals, offices….almost any environment where design and long-term performance are important.
CORIAN® surfaces have smooth, seamless joins that eliminate dirt-trapping grout lines.
Seams on dark granite also can be nearly invisible. However, seams can be obvious on light-coloured granite worktops, similar to the grout joints associated with ceramic tile. In addition, seams in a granite surface can become stained and dirty with time.
CORIAN® can be cut and formed to create unique shapes and curves, complex edge details, custom and drain boards. Corian® also can be inlayed with Corian® and/or other materials to produce surface effects.
Granite lacks the design versatility of Corian®. The edge details are limited, and adding inlays creates unsightly seams.
CORIAN® is available in a broad range of colours and textures for today’s light and airy kitchen styles. Its colour, pattern and tone are uniform.
Granite offers mainly dark colours, no solids and a limited selection of whites. In addition, it varies in texture consistency and may or may not match the colour chosen from the sample.
CORIAN® sheets can be combined with seamed undermount Corian® sinks for a smooth, one piece appearance. There is no lip to trap dirt eliminating a seam that is difficult to keep clean.
Granite countertops also can be installed with undermount sinks but matching granite sinks are not available. Also, the worktop typically overhangs the sink, creating a gap that can trap moisture and dirt.
CORIAN® has a rich translucency. It’s smooth to the touch and presents a warm, inviting feel, much like wood.
Granite also is smooth, but sometimes feels cold and very hard to the touch, almost like glass.
