A rough floor tile is a result of design, not error. Modern homes are now able to incorporate rough floor tiles into a congruent and interesting mix of tiles, throughout the house. Informal-looking and yet mysterious in their naturalness, rough floor tiles can add an element of Nature into our ultra-civilized homes.
I have seen abundant cases of this which actually provide a warm sense of place, complete with an ambiance which welcomes visitors and the owners alike with this naturalistic and completely rewarding sensibility. Thick rugs, animal and manufactured, the welcome site of wooden furniture and fixtures all can combine in an extraordinary way to relax one and to please the eye.
Typically absorbent of light, these gorgeous tiles can mute the glare from the outdoors and a glaring sun, thereby “cooling” the vista immeasurably. Not only that, but being absorbent of sun and its light also means these natural rough stones tiles can also store heat, providing a cozy and warm surface for hours after the sun has actually set.
Looking out onto nature or some nice landscape, the sense of being at least partly “natural” at one’s very toes is an appealing and dramatic sort of concept. The non reflective nature of rough floor tile further encapsulates the home owner in his “castle”, making everything somehow as if not more intimate than any other flooring substance.
