In the competitive world of construction and design, the choice of materials and their implementation can set a project apart. CTM’s industry-leading expertise – featuring brand ambassadors Carla, Tito, and Mario – empowers architects and builders to deliver outstanding results.

Strategic design leadership: Carla’s professional tile selection framework

Material selection directly influences aesthetics and durability. CTM’s style strategist, Carla, offers unique insights into tile specifications for different projects:

Commercial kitchens High-traffic kitchen spaces demand durable, slip-resistant tiles that are visually appealing and comply with health standards. Statement splashbacks with neutral floor tiles create a seamless, professional look.

Bathrooms and wet areas Safety compliance meets sophistication with textured, patterned tiles that offer slip resistance in both residential and commercial bathrooms.

Large-scale commercial spaces Reception areas and lobbies require grandeur – achieved through large-format tiles and natural finishes like marble and terrazzo.

Current trends in tile palettes lean towards muted greens, terracotta and soft blue hues, aligning perfectly with South African architectural themes.
