Coverlam Tiles in Single Family Home in Eindhoven | Grespania

The project

VFO ARCHITECTS have created a modern house in the forests of Brabnant in The Netherlands. The house is designed around a composition of 8 by 8-meter squares. Each volume contains one or more squares and all smaller rooms are designed as free-standing objects within these volumes.

Use of Coverlam

The main color of the house is white, with a feature wall of Tabaco colored Grespania, Coverlam tiles over the pool. The recessive color palette is designed so the garden acts as the tableau and color added through art, furniture, and occupation.

Coverlam

Coverlam is a large-format engineered porcelain tile. Coverlam is comprised of a porcelain base with a 0.5mm fiberglass mesh adhered to the back which provides superior strength to the large tiles. Due to its reduced thickness - 3.5 and 5.6 mm Coverlam only weighs 7.8 kg/m2 and 14 kg/m2, respectively. This makes cutting and handling far easier. As a result, Coverlam offers substantial financial savings in projects by enabling faster completion times.
