Eco-Friendly Tile Solutions for World Environment Day

Eco-Friendly Tile Solutions for World Environment Day

Thankfully, the world is slowly transitioning to sustainable materials. From tile designs in the Philippines to utensils, you can expect an eco-friendly sustainable alternative. In almost all aspects of our lives, we produce waste that is detrimental to our environment. Synthetic materials can take years to decompose and some of these components are non-renewable as well. As of right now, we’re making efforts to slowly revive our environment. Even if it’s slow in progress, this effort can save the environment for future generations.

More and more companies are looking into creating eco-friendly products. They are becoming more aware of the potential after-effects that harmful chemicals used in production. Even if these products come off as a trend, they can still contribute to a better environment. Before you jump in and buy every product labeled as eco-friendly, do yourself a favor and look at the components and patents of each product. Buy a legitimate product from a credible company and avoid being blinded by imitations.

Environmental Impact

Environmental Impact

The environmental impact of unsustainable products is damaging the earth permanently. Various forms of water are being littered with plastic, damaging the ecosystem and the animals that are living in it. Our supplies and the exploitation of limited sources can leave future generations bare, with a lower quality of life. It’s our job to take care of what’s left of the gift that was given to us.

Budget Room Makeovers: How to Easily Freshen Up your Dull Rooms

Budget Room Makeovers How to Easily Freshen Up your Dull Rooms

What can you do to freshen up your rooms on a budget?

  1. Be clean and organized
  2. Add pops of color
  3. Mix in patterns
  4. Add layers and texture

 

There are a lot of things that you can do to give your rooms a new style. In the Philippines, the price of tiles aren’t anything that you should take note of a lot—especially since there are inexpensive options that bring about quality and good design.

A room makeover is easy when you have the right resources and concepts. In fact, you can do so within the weekend if you really know what you’re doing. As bland as some of your rooms might be, it might just take a simple rearrangement of furniture, repainting of the walls, or a new set of tiles to make it as vibrant as it can be.

All you need is to have the initiative to do so. Check out our list of quick, easy, and budget-friendly ways to give your room a makeover!

Be Clean and OrganizedBe Clean and Organized

Sometimes, the main reason rooms become bland is that there is too much clutter everywhere. A room that’s disorganized and full of unnecessary things might not be dull on its own—but it’s most certainly a sight for sore eyes.

This would usually be the first step with every room makeover, and for some, it’s the only thing that you should do. By organizing your room, you can easily make it more spacious, cleaner, and feel more appealing

To add more depth to the clean look, try using muted colors such as white and beige. They make your room feel a lot more refreshed. You may also choose to change up your flooring into something classier. Our Classic 60×60cm polished collection offers tiles of nine different designs that will fit perfectly into your clean and refreshing new room.

Add Pops of ColorAdd pops of color

To further enhance your makeovers, you can simply add color to an otherwise monotonous design. This is the most common practice when people want to spice up a room that has a predominantly neutral tone.

You can do this through pieces of décor, bed sheets, throw pillows curtains that have a different, more striking color than the tone of the room. Choose colors that will set themselves apart, those that are contrasting to the dominant color scheme.

Again, you can make use of your floor and wall tiles to help set the neutral tone, or you can let it contribute to the vibrant colors you can add. The Travertine Collection is perfect for setting up neutral tones, while the Chroma collection can help add vibrancy to your makeover.

Mix in PatternsMix in Patterns

Adding patterns to a room is one of the quickest ways to add another level of design to it. People would usually make use of wallpaper to quickly cover up bland walls with interesting designs and patterns that catch the attention of most visitors.

You can also emulate this by hanging up décor of different rhythmic designs and patterns. You can also create your own patterns with furniture, collectible items, and your windows. See our Zeno collection. These have interesting patterns that can help add depth and structure to the rest of your design.

Patterns don’t necessarily need to be eye-catching nor does it need something new. Try to experiment with your current decorations and other items on what can showcase patterns when placed correctly.

Add Layers and TextureAdd layers and texture

Bedrooms and living rooms are often filled with layers. Layers of blankets, pillows, comforters and the likes. However, these layers might not provide the same depth of aesthetic as other decorations give.

The same goes for texture. Different fabrics, raw materials, and shading of colors can bring about texture, but the wrong combination can make it dull and plain. When adding layers and textures, you have to make sure that you consider adding depth to the design.

For example, give purpose to layering on your bed and add a bit of fluff to it to make the bed look classy and incredibly comfy. Likewise, use textures that make sense to create a feeling of completeness – match wooden furniture with polished floor tiles and smooth curtains for a classic look.

In this case, floor tiles can play a vital role in completing the design—so you have to be careful when choosing to change them up as well. If you will, we recommend considering the Graze and Cabana Collection for more texture while also giving room for layering to take place.

Key Takeaway

Redesigning your rooms in a budget is easier than most people think. You can fully rely on your current furniture and just rearrange them. Oftentimes, a room makeover will only need a few new things. That being said, with the prices of tiles in the Philippines, it’s fully possible to have a change of floor or wall tiles as part of a complete budget room makeover!

How to Achieve a Coastal Feel in your Home

What should you consider in order to get a coastal feel for your home?

  1. Coastal color scheme
  2. Choice of décor
  3. Overall styling

In a tropical country like the Philippines, locals are lucky because the beach is relatively close to most places. That doesn’t mean, however, that people would not like to feel the warmth and freshness of the beach right in the comfort of their homes.

In the Philippines, the design of tiles can tremendously help in bringing out the coastal feel in home designs. Pair that with your usual décor and an interesting layout of furniture, and your home can feel like a beach house by the coast of Boracay!

Coastal Color Scheme

Coastal Color Scheme

The most apparent way to create a coastal feel in your home is to use the colors reminiscent of that environment. The coastal retreat is all about the muted yet windswept colors. Play around natural white, stone, pebble grey, and a bit of vibrancy with palm green, refreshing sky blue, and shades of rusty brown.

Make sure to make muted colors the primary color for your design and add accents of vibrancy that can bring life to the whole design. A good tip is to design your walls and floor with either natural white, or grey tones and then add color through your furniture, décor, and other pieces of accents.

For your floor tiles, you can play around with its design. You can keep it simple and choose pure colored ones. However, for an added aesthetic feel, you can choose from our Tropical or Classic collection. The tropical collection has that rustic look while the classic collection gives you the glossy factor. Choose carefully because in the Philippines, the Tiles’ design is vital in making these concepts complete.

Choice of Décor

Choice of DécorFor a coastal feel, you would want to be as simple as you can be while also prioritizing comfort. Choose furniture that is low slung and have clean lines. To further emphasize comfort, get yourself some oversized cushions. This design can transform even the simple task of sitting in your living room into an amazing experience – as if you were sitting down by a seaside lounge.

For any wooden furniture, choose whitewashed wood. This is a classic choice for your coastal abode. You can emulate this on your floor tiles through our Nara Collection, particularly the Moon and Taupe styles. Another tip is to make sure that you use fabrics that add depth and texture to your interior.

From washed, crumpled linens to natural fibers and heavy woven knits, there are a variety of ways to spice up your already cozy coastal design. Wall décor such as paintings and picture frames are also encouraged, though they’re better off with whitewashed frames, or as plain canvasses. Put up giant photos of the ocean or any coastal area for more ambiance. You can also add potted plants to your design!

Overall Styling

Overall StylingTo fully achieve a coastal feel for your home, you have to focus on getting back to nature. Imagine the coasts with its light waves and long sandy beaches. Some beach towels and umbrellas near the coast and at the back some palm leaves and a few small wooden establishments.

Now put the feeling you get there into your home design. The secret here is to keep things simple and comfortable. Your bigger items, the sofas, and tables should be as simple as they can be on their own. Layer them with pillows, rugs, wall art, and a vase of tropical plants. Make sure that most of the décor you use as accents are made of natural material such as woven baskets to add another element of texture.

Then, use stripped carpets or hang stripped beach towels by the walls. We suggest installing tiles from our Chantilly collection to add more muted colors—further helping emphasize the other décor that you add. Add a little more of your personal touch and you can easily end up with a tropical, coastal feel for your home.

Key Takeaway

You don’t need to live by the beach to have a coastal home. With just a few little decorative changes, you’ll be able to transform your home into a coastal retreat that is cozy, refreshing, and aesthetically pleasing. If you are thinking of more ideas to design your home for a coastal feel, visit a Floor Center branch near you and ask about the products that can help you achieve this style!

Advice on Patterns and their Unique Effect on Design

Advice on Patterns and their Unique Effect on Design

What should you know about patterns and their effect on design?

  1. Natural patterns
  2. The illusion of movement
  3. Beauty in the delicate
  4. Blending of colors

 

In the Philippines, the tiles price is usually based on how customizable it is, how durable it is, how easy it is to make, and how beautiful it is. All of these considerations are important; however, some people often prioritize one or two of them when they choose what they want to use.

When it comes to design, tiles are practically a blank slate. It can be as simple, or as complicated as you want. A lot of people can express themselves intently through the use of tiles as flooring, or as part of their walls.
There are many variations of tiles that have different kinds of patterns.

To some, they just add a bit more of an aesthetic to the area, however, for those with an eye for design, patterns are so much more. With the right pattern, the design of a certain room, or of the whole floor can change dramatically.

 

Natural Patterns

Natural Patterns
Most of the patterns and designs that people create are inspired by the patterns found in nature. Even the smallest things in nature can have intricate and amazing patterns in them. Snowflakes, rock formations, leaves, and branches.

All of them have patterns that are very beautiful and can serve as inspiration for most designers. In fact, natural stone tiles are often chosen because of these very natural patterns that add to the aesthetic beauty of the tiles. You can also see patterns in natural stones processed into other kinds of tiles for more aesthetic value.

One of our collections features six interesting designs all based on natural stone. The Slate Collection features tiles with a variety of patterns and designs that can add texture and depth to your floor design.

 

The Illusion of Movement

The Illusion of Movement
Presented with the right patterns, your eyes can be tricked into seeing motion. Often this can catch people’s attention. Most of the time, this can be found in optical illusions. Seldom is it really put into designs, however those who make use of it can create amazing artworks that can add more depth to their designs.

The illusion of movement basically makes static, flat designs into something more alive. This can easily transform a simple design concept into something that many people will appreciate!

Some floor tiles are emulated to show this illusion of movement, while others rely on the tile pattern that will be used. Our Cobblestone Collection 30×30cm especially L33 Braid, L35 Warm, and L36 Light, can all be used to create this illusion in an outright fashion.

 

Beauty in the Delicate

Beauty in the DelicateYou don’t always need striking patterns to make a design stand out. There are times when thinner, more streamlined patterns such as simple geometric shapes can be just as functional and beautiful as the more pronounced ones.

In fact, these can lead to more elegant and professional design concepts.

Remember, you don’t always have to show off prominent patterns—you can easily achieve the same level of impact with relaxed shapes.
Great examples of these delicate patterns can be found in our Avant Collection, particularly the Y1 Emblem piece.

 

Blending of Colors
Blending of Colors

Of course, patterns aren’t just filled with lines and shapes—one of the most eye-catching features of these patterns are the colors used. In fact, even with just colors alone, you can create great patterns that are perfect for a variety of applications.

You can choose to create gradients to add depth to your designs, or you can create portraits using mosaic tiles. There are so many things that you can do when you play around with the color of your tiles.

One of the simplest things that you can do is to make use of single colored tiles and lay them down in a pattern of your choice. You can create lines, shapes, and even portraits just by laying multiple tiles of different colors onto your floor. The Chroma Collection we have is filled with single colored tiles that have no inlaid designs. They are perfect for these kinds of applications!

 

Key Takeaway

A tile price in the Philippines takes into consideration all that is important to the consumers. The design of the tile is one of the largest contributors to this because many people want tiles that are aesthetically pleasing.

Patterns are some of the most intricate designs that tiles can have—and they’re also something that is quite attractive to a number of people. See more of our products here to maximize these design tips!

10 Must Have Tools for a DIY Tile Installation

10 Must Have Tools for A DIY Tile Installation

What should you have to facilitate a proper tile installation?

  1. Wooden handle slicker
  2. Tile Spacer
  3. Tile cutter
  4. Foam/Tile Sponge
  5. Grout float
  6. Notched trowel
  7. Putty knife
  8. Grout Remover
  9. Levelling ruler
  10. Measuring Pail

 

Often homeowners would go to different lengths just to make sure that their homes are as beautiful as possible. In the Philippines, the price of tiles make it possible for them to do so without breaking the bank and this is proven especially if you do a DIY tile installation.

When it comes to tiles, you can choose to have professionals install them for you, but they’re almost always expensive. That being said, it’s perfectly possible for you to install tiles on your own through the help of a guide or videos you can find online.

Of course, you can’t do tile installations all on your own. You need to have the appropriate tools in order for you to do your work efficiently and effectively. Keep in mind that you don’t need to buy them per se. It’s possible for you to find a way to rent them if you look hard enough. So, without further ado, here is a list of tools that you would need for a very easy DIY installation!

 

 

Wooden Handle Slicker

Wooden Handle Slicker

This tool is fairly similar to the putty knife but is increased in length. It’s also used for scraping and spreading materials before putting on the tiles. There’s another version of this tool that has some sort of teeth by its edges.

This one is more attuned to the task of spreading and setting materials evenly.  When used to spread and set materials, the teeth create strips of it that will spread evenly when a tile is laid on it. This tool makes it easier for you to create even spreads of adhesive over large areas which are perfect for floor tile installations.

 

Tile Spacer

When it comes to tile installations, precision is very important. Even just a millimeter out of your intended spacing can cause a domino effect, completely ruining your whole flooring. With tile spacers, however, you can always be sure that you have the right amount of distance between tiles.

5mm tile spacers are almost always used for floor installations, though you can also find 3mm and 4mm ones. These tile spacers are perfect for installations that involve laying of natural stone tiles, porcelain tiles, and ceramic tiles.

 

Tile Cutter

For every tile installation project, you will need a tile cutter, especially for those tight corners where the dimensions of the tiles you’re using is not an appropriate fit. In general, tile cutters usually need electricity or at least water in order to cleanly cut the tiles. Fortunately for you, FC’s Tile Cutter does not need either of the two.

Our Tile cutters are eco-friendly and safe to use. It is also known for its high precision cutting. This enables it to reduce decorative costs and facilitate better construction.

 

FoamTile Sponge

Foam/Tile Sponge

This is practically the same as any sponge that you use. It’s used to clean impervious surfaces by removing dust and dirt that has accumulated on the tiles.

 

Grout Float

A rather trowel-like tool, this one is used to smoothen the surface of a grout line. A grout float is usually used to spread and compact the grout put into the tile joints. By applying firm and constant pressure, the grout becomes uniformly packed into the joints and leveled with the tile.

 

Notched Trowel

This tool is used for a number of tile and hardwood installations. Its primary use is to spread and comb the adhesive used to attach the tile toe floor. A notched trowel usually has teeth which make it incredibly easy and efficient to spread and smoothen the adhesive—making the laying of the tile way smoother.

 

Putty Knife

This is a tool that has a broad flat metal blade. Its primary use is to apply putty to joints, seams, and flaws on walls or floors. It can also be used to remove paint and other materials from surfaces.

 

Grout Remover

Grout Remover

This small hand tool is a slam steel blade that’s covered with carbide grit. It’s used to efficiently remove the old discolored grout found in old floors and walls.

 

Levelling Ruler

This device is needed to determine whether the surface of your tile is leveled. It shows whether the surface is horizontal or vertical. This can usually be seen by the use of a bubble in a slightly curved glass tube.

 

Measuring Pail

For your Measuring Pail, you need strong ones and not just generic types that you would see in retail stores. You need these for when you choose to make the thin-set mortar out of a powdered base.

These buckets will be useful for isolating the mixture from the rest of your home so that it won’t form into unwanted blots of cement.

Make sure that you have at least two buckets, one for the main mixture and another for sponging off the grout.

 

Key Takeaway

With the proper tools and guides, you can do tile installations on your own. Even with the prices of the varying tiles in the Philippines, it won’t cost you much to do them on your own when compared to when you get professionals to do it for you.

That being said, it’s still fairly worth getting professional tilers to do it for you if you have the budget to do so! Talk to us here, and we’ll help you during your tile installation that will ultimately make your home more stylish!

National Customers choice annual awards

 

We are proud to announce that FC has been awarded the title of NATIONAL CUSTOMERS’ CHOICE ANNUAL AWARDS for BUSINESS EXCELLENCE 2019.

Through the years, we at FC Floor Center have continually reached out for excellence in everything that we do. From our wide array of products to the extensive customer service that we provide—all of that we have done with a certain level of standard and will continue to do so in order to live up to this magnificent award.

The foundation of FC lies on the products that we distribute. Every single tile that goes into our inventory is inspected and assessed to make sure that they’re made from high quality materials. More often than not, tiles are made to order—also providing a level of customization to the already stacked up designs that FC has.

The sheer variety of tiles based on material, design, size, and shape is enough to make sure that every kind of construction will find the perfect tile for them. Keep in mind that these are not only used for flooring, but also for wall applications.

Our products can be categorized into more than 80 collections—each of which has a specific feel to them. This blend of design and practicality is what sets our products apart. No matter the construction or type of application, our customers will have a choice as to what they can install.

One of the most differentiating factors that FC has is our team of professionals. Their knowledge and years of experience let them provide the most appropriate and practical advice for those that can’t decide on what to buy. Nevertheless, their style of interacting with customers is very courteous.

Over the years, FC Floor Center has experienced continuous growth and has led to its expansion in many parts of the country. With over 88 branches nationwide, the products that we distribute are more accessible than ever.

FLOOR CENTER NCAA AWARD

But of course, all of this would be nothing without the support that our loyal customer base has for us. Our success is without reason if not for the people that we have helped become happier with our products and services.

With that being said, the prestige of this award is dedicated not just to the people behind FC, but to everyone that has contributed to our success—especially to our customers who have supported us all over the years.

As a final note, we understand the stature that this award has brought to our company. As this award validates the quality of our products and services, we will continue to pursue higher standards.

We may be known for our tile design in the Philippines, but aside from that, we will continue on forward and improve what we have as time passes on.

Again, we would like to thank the NCCAA for this wonderful award and the people who voted for us to be the winner. We would have never reached this point in our business’ growth without your support, and for that, we are truly grateful. We owe all of this to you!

How to Achieve a Fresh Tropical Look

How to Achieve a Fresh Tropical Look

What are the things you have to consider in achieving a fresh tropical look for your home?

  • The Tropical Style
  • Tropical Colors
  • The Décor
  • Tropical Art

 

It’s summer and not everyone can go to the beach every day. The good thing is that with the tiles price in the Philippines, you can easily decorate your home into something that emanates a tropical feel. You might be far off from the beach, or in the suburbs of the city, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create something from your home.

You may not necessarily be near beaches or summer paradises, but you’ll most definitely be able to transform your home into the tropics with these amazing ideas!

 

The Tropical Style

The Tropical Style

When it comes to design, tropical leans more on the feeling of relaxation, comfort, ease, and hospitality. There is a sense where people can just lay back and laze around as time goes by. A place where all your troubles are gone and you can only focus on the sky, the breeze, and chill atmosphere all around you. Like the light atmosphere that 40×40 S2020P Rose can emanate, you should also install pieces of this quality.

To achieve this style, various combinations of colors, textures, and décor can be used—and once the perfect combination is found, you’ll find yourself in a tropical paradise all in the comfort of your home!

 

Tropical Colors

Tropical Colors

Make use of greens and blues when it comes to color palettes for the design. Mix in a bit of orange and yellow and you can make it a tad bit more tropical. Keep in mind that the tropical style fully embraces nature, particularly water and plant life.

The 20×20 Verde tile does a good job of fulfilling this design tip because of the coolness of its light-green hue. For this reason, the entire spectrum of the colors found in the tile samples above are fairly suited if you want to go for tropical designs.

Of course, the natural colors of leaves and plants accentuate that tropical feel and you can opt to add a touch of sky blue to make it seem like the tropics altogether.

 

The Décor

The Decor

Be sure to incorporate furniture made of more authentic and tropical wood. Those will further add to the tropical feel of the whole design. Replicate the roughness of things such as palm trunks, coconuts, or driftwood by using different materials like wicker, rattan, or jute.

What we can advise you to incorporate into your home for this design tip is the 15×80 Dreamwood Rustic, which screams summer all over! Bamboo and Teak are great base materials for some of your furniture. They are great for both indoor and outdoor. They also add this island feel to your home.

Simple carpets that copy the feel of beach blankets can further bring about that vibrancy that is usually found in many tropical design studies. Another important point would be to incorporate plant life into your designs. It’s not just simple vases with flowers.

Choose large plants that really bring that tropical vibe. Adding Flora to your home is a great way to bring about that tropical atmosphere. Be aware of what plants you choose though because there’s a fine line between a fresh, tropical feel and a lavish jungle-inspired design.

 

Tropical Art

Tropical Art

An interesting alternative to fully refurnishing a home in order to create that tropical ambiance is to simply make use of decorative art. Even simple prints of pineapples, flamingos, and trees are enough to brighten up your walls.

Of course, you can’t disregard the unconventional universality of palm leaves as great art pieces. The 30×30 Landscape would be perfect for this.
Another cool point is to mix and match between wallpapers, photos, paintings, and even drawings.

When it comes to using tropical art, there’s no real standard on what is accepted—which is a good thing because that basically means you’re free to do as you wish. If you’re planning on using tropical art, feel free to experiment on what you can make use of!

 

Key Takeaway

It’s the summer season in the Philippines but the price of tiles shouldn’t be something that will stop you from turning your home into your own tropical paradise. The beach might be far off but with the help of these ideas on how you can turn your own home or condo into a fresh beach-esque place, you won’t feel the need to go the beach anymore!

Whether it’s through plants, relaxing wallpaper, custom tiles or even blanket-like carpets, there’s always a way to make your home feel tropical all year long. Check out our products here and let your imagination run wild with your design!
