White kitchen projects Kitchens that showcase the "total white" look In small spaces, such as this Valencian property designed by Carlos Balada and Carlos Bonet from the Onside studio, the total white design rules. The studio has opted for the magic of white, with its luminosity and capacity to make spaces feel bigger, as the predominant colour in this kitchen, which extends into the living room. The whiteness of Krion®, combined with the absence of visible handles thanks to the recessed grip system, creates a wide, unlimited space, an effect that is enhanced by the large glass doors that separate the kitchen and dining area and allow light to enter from the exterior. To break up the overwhelming sense of whiteness and add a touch of contrast, this design uses black appliances and a floor in Porcelanosa's Ascot Arce ceramic wood to give this “total white” kitchen a warmer and more welcoming touch.

The best ideas for a sustainable home with KRIONÂ®

Sustainability in housing construction is becoming increasingly important, and the design of eco-friendly homes is trending. The design of sustainable homes is being taken into account more and more by architects and designers worldwide, and it's not without reason: sustainable construction... is no longer an option but a fact. In recent years, climate change has forced builders and designers to consider more environmentally friendly options, and they are achieving good results. Today, sustainability is an increasingly important requirement in 21st-century architecture. Having a sustainable home goes far beyond saving resources or recycling. Predictions suggest that if we reduce the demand for less sustainable materials, such as steel or cement, housing construction can globally reduce its emissions by 38% by the year 2050. But what is a sustainable home? What are the characteristics of sustainable homes, and where can we see examples of this? Next, we'll tell you what a truly sustainable home is and, more importantly, its advantages and how to create a sustainable home in everyday life. What is a sustainable home? A sustainable home has been designed to minimize its impact on the environment from the design phase, through construction, and to its subsequent use. This includes both reducing energy consumption and making use of local resources without damaging them, as well as caring for construction materials. Generally, these are homes that are energy-efficient and have environmentally friendly materials. The key is to make the home as self-sufficient as possible in terms of energy without having a negative impact on the surroundings. Passivhaus certification Passivhaus certification is one of the highest distinctions that can be awarded to a sustainable home. The fact that a passive house has this certification means that maximum energy efficiency and bioclimatic architecture have been utilized. Within the Passivhaus certification, there are three levels: Classic, Plus, and Premium. Here are the basic differences between the three: Passivhaus Classic: This type of home, although it possesses all the other characteristics of a passive house, does not generate an excess of renewable energy. Passivhaus Plus: It generates ≥60 kWh/m2 per year of renewable energy. This means that it produces approximately twice as much energy as the building needs to sustain itself. Passivhaus Premium: It generates ≥120 kWh/m2 per year. This means that the home produces an energy surplus that exceeds the building's consumption by 4 to 5 times. What are the characteristics of a sustainable home? A sustainable home is not only one that reduces environmental impact during its construction but also throughout its use. Therefore, in addition to being built using sustainable architectural methods, its equipment should also consider the environment. In this regard, the characteristics of a sustainable home are as follows: 1. The location and orientation of the house influence its ability to make better use of natural resources and therefore demand less electrical energy. 2. The materials used should be as environmentally friendly as possible. They should be non-toxic and preferably made from eco-friendly raw materials and recycled or recyclable products. Additionally, they should provide good insulation to ensure the energy efficiency of the house. 3. The design should be conceived to harmonize with the surroundings and nature in general. 4. Clean and renewable sources of energy should be utilized to ensure efficient energy consumption in the home. 5. Appliances, heating and cooling systems, insulation, and other devices should be designed for energy efficiency, along with low-consumption lighting systems. By combining all of these aspects with a layout that maximizes the utilization of consumed energy, we reinforce the sustainable and energy-efficient design of the home. Features of a sustainable home Sustainable homes have a lesser environmental impact in the construction phase, extending to the subsequent use of the home. So as well as being made with sustainable architecture in mind, the fixtures and fittings should also be environmentally-friendly. Here are the key characteristics of a sustainable home: The design should fit harmoniously into the setting and wider natural environment. To achieve this, building materials should be as environmentally-friendly as possible. They should of course use non-polluting materials, using recycled or recyclable products where possible. In terms of equipment, household appliances, heating/air conditioning systems and insulation should be designed to minimise energy consumption. Tips for making your home more sustainable There are steps you can take if you want to make your own home more sustainable. Take a look at our tips for making your home more sustainable: Updating your façade and replacing it with a ventilated façade can improve your insulation, resulting in lower energy consumption in the home. Porcelanosa Lyon façade In terms of exterior design, you can take steps to improve sustainability by planting vegetation and opting for materials such as wood rather than metal in any transit areas. In terms of décor and interior wall and floors, Fitwall® decorative panels are an eco-friendly, A* solution. They're manufactured with minerals and modified acrylic resin, containing a minimum of 3% pre and post-consumer recycled PET, lending them resistance, flexibility and durability. Fitwall Creative Series Palm Using thermodynamic water heaters or solar heaters is another way to optimise home sustainability, and they reduce spending on electricity or gas. Installing smart appliances and lighting can dramatically reduce your energy consumption and expenditure.

This clearly eco-friendly material uses up to 5% of plastic waste in its total composition and can be used in the manufacture of shower trays, washbasins and bathroom countertops, creating healthy, hygienic environments for personal care. A bedroom inspired by nature with Fitwall® Resting or ending the day by reading a book in the bedroom is a pleasure you can enjoy without sacrificing elegance and design. Fitwall® panels are the perfect sustainable solution for the walls of your bedroom. Fitwall® is a mainly mineral material inspired by nature and capable of creating highly realistic and durable reliefs and textures, giving the bedroom its own character and identity.

In order to improve the world we live in, Krion is committed to continuing research to introduce small changes with major impact, both at the level of business development and in the manufacture of safer and more sustainable products. Eco-friendly construction materials Sustainable construction is all about selecting environmentally-responsible construction materials. Components manufactured in Krion® are an eco-friendly solution, from the production stage through to the end of its shelf life.

And because it's almost completely non-porous and bacteriostatic, Krion® is incredibly easy to clean - meaning there's less of a need for chemical products. 10 tips for making your home more sustainable There are a number of things to think about if you want to make your home fully sustainable, in addition to using eco-friendly construction materials such as Krion®. Take note of these 10 tips for making your home more sustainable. 1. Reuse furnishings Reusing furnishings is an effective way of achieving a more sustainable home. Reusing old furnishings or going for second-hand, rather than always buying new furniture or other items, will make your home more eco-friendly. 2. Take advantage of natural light If you want your home to be more eco-friendly, you need to make maximum use of natural and renewable energy sources. One such resource is natural light - the perfect lighting for sustainable homes. Install large picture windows that usher in the light, as well as skylights to get as much daylight in as possible. 3. Insulate your home A well-insulated home means lower energy consumption - and lower gas and electricity bills.As well as Krion® façades, double-glazed windows with thermal bridges can make a huge difference to how sustainable your home is. 4. Choose materials that can have a second life Another way to make your home more eco-friendly is to avoid using materials that can't be recycled, or don't degrade well (such as aluminium) and instead go for more sustainable and recyclable solutions. 5. Balanced window distribution Because they let the light in, windows can help to make your home more sustainable. But they also let the heat over the summer period, which could result in over-heating and force you to switch on the air conditioning. To avoid this happening, made sure your windows are distributed in a balanced way. 6. Underfloor heating and heat pumps Heat pumps enable you to avoid traditional, less eco-friendly heating systems like oil or gas. Plus, underfloor heating is one of the most efficient home heating systems you can get. 7. High-tech solutions Smart homes allow you to control all your devices from your phone, and they're a great way of avoiding unnecessary energy waste. With an air-conditioning monitoring system you can switch it on and off remotely, preventing the air conditioning from operating when you aren't at home. 8. Vertical gardens Vertical gardens and living walls help to cool down your home and optimise its sustainability, because they contribute to natural air filtration. 9. Optimise your use of household appliances Making sure you only use the washing machine or dishwasher when they're full is one way of optimising your use of household appliances and making your home more sustainable. 10. Limit your reliance on air conditioning Air conditioning systems make your home much more comfortable. But it's important to be prudent if you want to be more sustainable, so programming it to operate only when you need it is a good idea: an optimum room temperature is between 18ºC and 22ºC.

Bathtub dimensions: 4 things you should know

What are the best dimensions for a bathtub? See how to choose the ideal size for your bathtub, taking into account four determining factors. There are few things as relaxing and pleasurable as enjoying a nice bath after a long day. Immersing yourself in the water helps you relax your muscles and... disconnect your mind. But, for a truly pleasurable experience, it is especially important to take into account the bathtub's dimensions. If the bathtub is too large compared to the bathroom, it will be very uncomfortable to move around and use the other amenities. On the other hand, choosing a bathtub that is unnecessarily small can make the relaxing moments inside less comfortable. In this article, we'll talk about the four factors you should take into account when choosing the size of your bathtub. If you choose the right dimensions, you will be able to enjoy that time of privacy and relaxation as well as a nice and functional bathroom the rest of the time. What are the standard dimensions of a bathtub? In general, bathtub dimensions are standardised, and the vast majority of manufacturers abide by these dimensions in almost all their products. However, there are some exceptions that are best suited for those seeking a bathtub outside the usual standards. An example of the latter are the possibilities you can find among the bathtubs made at KRION. Krion Aro Bathtub In standard terms, a bathtub needs a space measuring approximately 70 centimetres wide and about 120-140 centimetres long. However, if you have the space, larger bathtubs are much more comfortable: 80 centimetres wide and about 150-180 long. If you are thinking about a larger bathtub, in addition to measuring the available space, it is worth analysing whether a bathtub of this size will be comfortable and practical in your bathroom. How long is a freestanding bathtub? Freestanding bathtubs are usually a little larger than built-in bathtubs. At KRION we have several models in different sizes that are suited to all needs. For example, the Tono model measures 195 x 90 cm. With the same length, but slightly less wide, is the Aro bathtub (195 x 80 cm). Krion Tono Bathtub Other options, such as the Almond or Pure models, are 180 cm long. The difference between these two bathtubs is in the width: Almond is 95 cm wide, while Pure is 90 cm wide. Krion Almond Bathtub If you have a smaller space, a shorter bathtub is a good idea. The Aro Air, Ras and Modul models measure 170 x 80. If your bathroom does not allow you to opt for such a large model, but you still want to enjoy the advantages of a freestanding bathtub, you can opt for the Modul model in its smaller version: 159 x 75 centimetres. Krion Aro Bathtub 4 factors that affect the dimensions of bathtubs These four factors are essential when selecting the dimensions of the bathtub you are installing at home. If you are designing your bathroom, take note of the following. 1. Available space In a large bathroom, the space available allows you to choose a bathtub longer than 150 centimetres, where you can lie down comfortably. However, in a small bathroom it is highly important to take the layout into account to see if a bathtub fits and, if so, choose a smaller model. Krion Arch Bathtub 2. Placement of taps Wall-mounted taps will not take up space in the basin and are the best option for small bathtubs. However, models such as the Tono bathtub have the option of incorporating the taps into the bathtub itself, as its size makes it easy and convenient to do so. Krion Tono Bathtub 3. Height of the person who is going to use it Depending on the height of those who will use the bathtub, it will need to be larger, or even smaller. For example: a person who stands 1.50 m tall does not need a 180 cm bathtub to sit down. On the other hand, for a 2-metre-tall person, a bathtub that is too small can be rather uncomfortable. Krion Arch Bathtub 4. Minimum passage area The width of the passage area needed for moving around in the bathroom, stepping into the bath and walking around the bathtub should never be less than 50 centimetres. However, 60 cm is best. Krion Slim Bathtub We hope these tips will help you to know what to consider when choosing the size of your bathtub. Choosing the right dimensions for a bathtub is essential to enjoy a comfortable, beautiful and functional bathroom to the fullest extent.
