1. MATERIAL USEDIN INTERIOR
“Clever design converts and changes according to need.”
― Amanda Talbot

2. THE IMPORTANCE OF MATERIALS FOR INTERIOR DESIGN
Using the right material in each space is key in interior design. Not all materials fit well in any room
although today there are technical solutions for almost everything. Put natural wood parquet in the
kitchen? We will all agree that either you never cook or assume its rapid deterioration. Although we
love both wood and natural stone, for its beauty and authenticity, in humid places, such as the
kitchen and the bathroom, the use of ceramics or other alternatives of high resistance is
recommended.
What characteristics should the materials of
any project have?
Nowadays, many materials can be used in a room. Natural stone, wood, ceramics, etc. As many ideas
as you have in your head to decorate your space. However, the only thing that has to be common to
all the materials you choose is quality.Quality is one of our two fundamental premises for all our
activity together with the uniqueness . That is why we always try to optimize the budget taking into
account that the quality of materials and execution are not affected. A final quality result is a
guarantee of aesthetic and functional durability. Choosing a dubious quality material, however
beautiful or cheap, is never a good option. Since what you save first, you spend it on repairs or
replacements in a short time.

3. TYPES OF BUILDING MATERIALS
Building material is any material used for construction purpose such as
materials
for house building.
WOOD,
CEMENT,
AGGREGATES,
METALS,
BRICKS,
CONCRETE,
CLAY
GLASS etc. are the most common type of building material used in
construction.

4. Patterned glass or
Textured Glass
As the name suggests,
patterned glass has a
decorative design
embossed on its surface. It
could be a colorful
geometric pattern, or just a
plain texture. It is most
useful in spaces which
require privacy but also
need sufficient light
transmission. The texture
on the glass surface
prevents a clear view of the
object when seen through
the glass. It has its
applications in conference
rooms, foyers, restaurants,
shower cubes, and
windows.

6. Spandrel Glass
Spandrel glass is used to disguise the
less aesthetically pleasing structural
elements like columns, walls, shear
walls, beams and so on. It comes in
plenty of colors and hence can be
used in versatile locations to
compliment the interiors. It is opaque
and reflective in nature. The uniform
appearance of the Spandrel glass
gives a neat look to the space. It is
called spandrel mainly due to its great
malleability. It can be molded and
shaped to cover even the curvature
joining two spandrel columns. It is
also 5 times stronger than the
traditional and annealed glass.
Spandrel glass also finds its
applications in kitchen interiors. It can
be used to cover the kitchen cabinets
and walls instead of tiling.

7. Tinted Glass
Tinted glass is manufactured by
adding metal oxides to float glass.
While the typical colors used are
bronze, gray, dark gray, green,
blue, blue-green, many other
colors like red, pink, purple can
also be manufactured. Different
metal oxides when mixed with
float glass, render different colors
to it. There is not much change in
the elementary properties of the
glass, except the solar
transmission. Due to its tint it
prevents heat transmission and
absorbs solar energy. This is not
ideal glass if you desire to transmit
light since it hinders with light
transmission.

8. Reflective glass
Reflective glass is a clear glass with
a metallic coating which reflects
heat. It is used in Eco-friendly
constructions to reduce the energy
consumption of the buildings. It
prevents heat loss from the interior
of the building and heat gain from
outside the building. While the
finish is usually metallic it can also
be given a tinted appearance.
Another advantage of using
reflective glass is that it reduces
the glare which is provides
comfortable working environments
in the office or home. The metallic
finish blocks the view of the people
standing in front of the installed
glass. Its main application is in
facade, but it does fancy some
audacious architects to use it in the
interiors as well.

10. Satin Glass (Privacy glass)
Satin glass has satin finish as
the name suggests. It is
chemically treated to give the
desired finish on the surface.
It is a good material for
decorative purposes. It can
also be used as a partition
wall in retail spaces or hotels
where one requires privacy as
it blurs the view. Due to this
property it can be utilized in
fabricating a door in
association with another
material such as wood. Satin
glass is a low maintenance
product as it prevents the dust
from sticking on to its surface.
The finger marks don’t get
printed on the skin of stained
glass unlike another glasses.

11. Security glass
Security glass can either be
laminated or toughened.
Laminated glass is an engineered
glass which holds its pieces
together in an event of disaster. It
is ideal for a coffee table top. If
your counter top breaks the
shattered pieces of glass will stick
together. It can also be used in
sensitive areas such as jewelry
shops. It is so strong that it is even
capable of withstanding a bullet
attack. Owning to its strength
architects have used this kind of
glass for designing a staircase.
Toughened glass is also a popular
choice for table tops since it
prevents cuts and injuries due to
broken glass.

12. Clear glass
Clear glass is the most common
type of glass seen in interior
spaces. It is colorless and has blue
or green colored edge due to the
presence of iron oxides. It is not as
strong as laminated glass. Clear
glass allows almost 80-90% of the
visible light to pass through. It can
be used in multiple locations in the
house and for other decorative
purposes. You can craft anything
from a door knob to a facade to a
chandelier using this type of glass.
Its transmittance quality makes it
an ideal material for making lamps
and chandelier. It can also be
molded into a clear glass vessel
type wash basin or a over the
counter type wash basin.

13. Acoustic Glass
As the name suggests, this type
of glass has acoustic properties
and thus is most suitable in
areas with high noise pollution.
Noise pollution is stressful and
with the kind of lifestyle we are
living the level of noise
pollution is rising
preposterously especially in
cities. The glass has a double
glazed arrangement of which
the inner layer damps out any
belligerent noises. It absorbs
and weakens noises thus
reducing the decibels heard by
humans. Acoustic glass finds its
application in diverse spaces like
office space, conference rooms,
music studios, hospitals,
libraries, residential houses and
retail spaces.

14. Energy Efficient Glass
Windows are responsible for as much
as 25% of heat exchange between the
interior and exterior of your house.
This means choosing the right kind of
glass can prevent the heat from
escaping your house in winters, and
hinder the heat from creeping into
your interior space in the summers. It
can reduce your electricity bill upto
20%. Installing this type of glass also
lowers your carbon footprint which
will ultimately make you feel good
about yourself. Many retail shops can
also enjoy the benefits of installing an
energy efficient glass on their glass
facade. Since the facade is exposed
directly to the sun, use of environment
friendly glass will reduce requirement
for heating or cooling the space
depending upon your geographical
location.
