One home, several colours
Anyone choosing a resin floor usually chooses one colour for the whole ground floor. That is logical: a seamless floor that runs throughout gives a home calm and coherence. Yet it is not the only option.
In this home in Retie, a different route was taken. The hallway and the practice room received a white resin floor. In the bedrooms, under the sloping roof, the floor changes to terracotta. Each time the same seamless system, PSL 3650 with our UV-resistant WPT 5000 CM top coat, but in a colour that suits what happens in the room.
Colour that suits the use
The difference in colour follows the difference in use.
The hallway and the practice room are places where you walk through and work. A light, neutral floor suits them: white keeps the space bright, reflects the light and gives a well-kept, calm impression. In a practice room with a treatment table, that contributes to a clean, professional look.
The bedrooms ask for something different. Here it is about warmth and security. A terracotta floor gives the room under the sloping roof a homely, soft character that is hard to achieve with white.
By choosing room by room, each room received the atmosphere it needed, without the home as a whole falling apart.
The doorway as a natural boundary
A colour change in a floor has to happen somewhere. Here it falls exactly in the doorway: the terracotta stops where the door frame stands, and on the other side the white begins.
This is no coincidence. A doorway is where you already expect the transition between two rooms. A colour change on that line feels natural, whereas the same change in the middle of a room would look restless. It does call for careful execution on site, so that the line stays crisp.
What this asks of the system
Choosing room by room only works if the system can be made in those colours. PSL 3650 is available in all RAL and NCS colours, in matt or satin gloss. Because we produce and tint our products ourselves in Belgium, a custom colour is business as usual for us. White and terracotta thus come from the same system, with the same properties and the same seamless result.
That also makes it possible to recreate the same colour later during a renovation or extension.
An idea for those who hesitate
Torn between a light floor for the living spaces and a warmer one for the bedrooms? This home shows that you do not have to choose. With a clear boundary, such as a doorway, each room can have its own colour.
