Porcelain Wood for showrooms

Automotive Monday

For many years Minoli supplied ceramic and porcelain tiles to car showrooms and before that there was Terrazzo.

Where the designers or clients looked to have a wood floor alongside the tiled area, which was often for the reception or coffee/hospitality areas, then a natural wood flooring was installed.

With the very heavy use within a car showroom (although the cars were supposed to be kept off of the wood area, manoeuvring a car in a small area often led to the wood being driven over) the flooring often became prematurely worn.

The advent of high quality porcelain that replicates wood to an amazing degree has enabled Minoli to not only supply the porcelain tile for the main showroom areas but also the wood effect porcelain where once there would have been a natural wood product.

A number of Minoli clients in the automotive sector now specify porcelain wood effect, some of which have been featured in #Automotivemonday before.

Volvo, Honda, Aston Martin, Lexus, Infiniti have all fitted Minoli Porcelain wood effect within, and in the case of Honda also outside of the dealership showrooms.
