New materials and technologies in interior design. Finishing materials: novelties of the market Novelties of the market of building and finishing materials
The spring season of interior exhibitions and events has come to an end, according to which we can say with confidence that, despite all the constraints, the interior industry is growing and developing every year, and new finishing materials and technologies appear on the market. What the designers paid attention to and what they singled out among the interesting interior ideas, we will tell in this article. Designer Valeria Belousova, who actively attends all interior exhibitions and chooses interesting novelties among the variety of finishing materials, notes 4 main directions in tile finishing: New technologies make it possible to turn ordinary porcelain stoneware into an imitation of marble, onyx, mother-of-pearl, and even metal, wood or fabric. Speaking of wood, the modern eco-style development trend allows you to save on natural wood finishes and create its texture with ordinary tiles. Another trend in decoration is bright accents. In support of this, there are many finishes in the style of pop art and patchwork. Interesting comic book stories will be elegantly combined with pastel finishes, and patchwork tile layout technology will create an interesting play of colors, patterns and textures. If we talk about novelties in finishing materials, then one cannot fail to mention kryon - a new generation of acrylic stone, reminiscent of natural to the touch, but warmer in texture. With it, you can even create streamlined shapes without joints, to avoid the accumulation of dirt. It can be used both in interior and exterior. Architect Natalya Guseva I am sure that the new is the well-forgotten old. Of these novelties, the architect notes ordinary plywood. Modern processing technologies allow you to create interesting options for finishing walls, countertops, ceilings and floors. This is a durable, environmentally friendly, moisture-resistant and beautiful coating that can be painted and get interesting aesthetic compositions! Designer-decorator Yulia Solovieva marks the expansion of the 3D wall panel market. If earlier 3D panels could not be used in the design of wet areas, today such panels are produced according to the principles of ceramic tiles, so they become excellent design options for kitchen backsplashes and bathrooms. Elena Krylova - interior designer, actively promoting eco-design in Russia, has found interesting finishing solutions that positively affect human health. For example, adsorbent 3D wall panels that absorb toxic substances from the air. Salt panels have become another option for a “healthy” design of the house. In addition to an elegant interior accent, they are also an excellent air ionizer. The designer also notes cleansing wallpapers, in the structure of which a natural material is introduced, which recognizes and destroys unpleasant odors at the molecular level. Interesting innovative technologies exist for facades and window decoration. For example, a line of special films is practically invisible on glass and at the same time is shockproof, protects the house from, has a cooling effect, anti-reflective property, is easy to clean and reflects light from opposite bright objects. And for facades, there are already shielding paints to protect the house from electromagnetic radiation and provide a therapeutic effect on the body. There are also innovations in the field of engineering. For example, interesting solutions have appeared on the market that are ready to replace the usual heating radiators with a “warm baseboard”. "Warm plinth" (14 cm high and 3 cm wide), and, according to Alexander Vasiliev, the head of the distributor of this product, the plinth does not dry the air, evenly distributes the temperature, does not raise dust, creating a healthy microclimate in the room, eliminating room from side effects such as "weeping windows", fungus and mold. Those designers who have already used a warm plinth in the interiors of houses and apartments confirm its advantages. Interior designer Elena Tikhonova: “This versatile product can be used in any interior, has two connection options that save energy, is safe for wooden furniture and antiques, and at the same time, due to the induction method, evenly distributes heat in the room.” And thanks to its compact size and wide decorating possibilities, it can fit into any interior. The best part is that such innovative solutions are the merits of the domestic manufacturer. As we can see, the finishing market is growing, surprising us with new and new solutions. According to practitioners, attention should be paid to domestic manufacturers, which are beginning to offer solutions that are in no way inferior to Western counterparts.

It is human nature to strive for comfort, in order to live in comfort, it is necessary to monitor the condition of housing, to make repairs as necessary.
New materials and technologies
The construction market offers great opportunities for apartment renovation, modern materials appear, new technologies are developed. Building innovations include:
- "liquid wallpaper" - decorative finishing;
- stretch ceiling:
- 3D self-leveling floors;
- "Liquid" glass - universal waterproofing.
New technologies greatly simplify and speed up the repair of apartments, make it possible to turn a house into a "candy". The "smart home" system is becoming more and more in demand, it allows you to automatically control the processes taking place in the apartment, configure and use the life support system of housing to the maximum.
Repair in the apartment begins with the alignment of walls and ceilings, modern plaster mixtures based on Rotband gypsum are ideal for this purpose. This plaster is elastic, has excellent adhesion to concrete surfaces, does not crack or shrink, its main advantage is that it dries quickly.
decorative trim
A new word in the fine finishing of surfaces is a decorative coating made from natural fibers of cellulose and cotton, the so-called "liquid wallpaper". They are a powder, before work it is diluted with warm water to the density of putty and applied to the walls with a spatula, and then leveled with a roller. Due to the convenience and ease of working with this material, you can somewhat reduce the time for repairing an apartment.
The dried coating forms a smooth textured surface. With the help of pigments, wallpaper can be given any color palette; in an avant-garde interior, bright color spots will be useful; for a living room in a classic style, it is possible to choose a finish with silver or gold threads.
Liquid wallpaper has many advantages:
- create a smooth, seamless surface;
- antistatic, do not attract dust;
- safe in terms of ecology;
- UV resistant.
Defects are easily eliminated, the damaged area is cleaned, a new composition is applied to it and leveled with a roller. The coating can be completely removed from the wall, soaked and applied to another surface without compromising quality.
Decorative finishing in the interior offers ample opportunities for creative ideas. Wallpaper can be applied graduated, with a smooth transition from light to dark, or you can make a drawing, using additional components to change the texture. Thanks to modern materials and innovations in the construction industry, apartment renovation can turn from routine dirty work into a creative process.
Forecasts of the emergence of new building materials are usually based on the factors of potential industrial growth, economic efficiency, innovation (amazing new discoveries). Forecasting is carried out annually, analyzing the appearance of new products at a conditional construction site. So, the forecast for innovations and new building materials in 2018 promises to surprise with technologies that combine the full range of the above criteria.
Market trends for new building materials and technologies: cement, wood, as well as renewable energy sources. All this will have a significant impact on the areas of design and construction for the coming year (2018) and in the near future. Let's see what's already in the trunk.
Programmable cement
As a substance that consumes a significant amount of water, concrete continues to be the leading direction for research and development of new building materials.
Despite its ubiquitous and traditional use, concrete still looks like some kind of mysterious building material. Therefore, discoveries are expected here, similar to the recent ones made in 2017, when interesting facts were discovered.
Studies of building materials provide new information about the binder that is used in construction. Cement particles can be manipulated to form various shapes, such as a cube
It turned out that cement, as part of the content of the concrete structure, carbonizes carbon dioxide over time. This property of the material ultimately contributes to redefining the environmentally friendly area of concrete.
Such research results once again emphasize the need for a clearer understanding of the formation of the structure of new building materials at the molecular level.
Another recent example was the multidisciplinary building materials laboratory at Rice University. Scientists there have discovered previously unknown properties of hydrated cement particles (CSH: calcium silicate hydrated cement).
Alternative binders to increase stability are used in the composition of cements of a new type, intended for specialists in the construction industry According to the researchers, the obtained information is planned to be used to “program” the particles of the material in a strictly controlled way. In fact, we are talking about a new building material - programmable cement.
The significant progress of this work marks the first step in controlling the kinetics of cement to obtain the desired building forms. In fact, Rice University scientists have discovered a technology to control the morphology and size of the basic building blocks of CSH.
Such blocks could organize themselves into microstructures with a higher packing density compared to conventional amorphous CSH microstructures.
This increased density should result in increased material strength and durability, improved chemical resistance, and protection of the reinforcing steel within the concrete.
Cross-laminated wood
In addition to concrete, wood is another popular building material. The construction industry is currently relying on solid wood based on the development of new methods.
Solid wood is used to construct high-rise buildings using rapidly renewable building materials that are environmentally superior to concrete and steel.
So-called cross-laminated wood is rapidly gaining popularity on construction sites. Massive panels based on modified hardwood building material Within the growing area of sawn timber based on softwood structure, an unexpected competitor has appeared: CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) lumber made from hardwood.
The London-based International Studio of Architects and Designers (dRMM Architects), in collaboration with the global engineering firm ARUP and the US Hardwood Export Council, have developed a CLT panel based on the fast-growing North American tree Tulipwood.
This is what it looks like on a cut of tulipwood. Products obtained from this type of wood are distinguished by a very original appearance. Now tulipwood is the new building material of the current century The properties of Tulipwood overlap those of softwood. Wood "Harpullia" (Tulipwood) is stronger and even stronger than concrete in terms of load capacity. In addition, this new type of building material has excellent decorative qualities.
A new building material based on Harpullia (Tulipwood) is already being produced for the building market (in Germany).
Referred to as "Leno CLT". Leno CLT is prepared from rapidly renewable raw materials and the manufacturing technology supports the production of panels of significant dimensions (eg 14x4.5 m).
Technologies do not stand still: what until recently seemed to be the height of perfection, is already hopelessly outdated tomorrow.
This statement is also true for many finishing materials: oil enamels, paper-based wallpaper and the so-called "rolls" are now perceived as something archaic, left in the irretrievable past. In return, manufacturers offer new options, the aesthetic qualities and performance properties of which significantly exceed the characteristics of the finishing materials used in the past.
"Capital Master" has prepared a brief overview of modern finishing materials successfully used by our company in the renovation of apartments and offices. We hope this article will inspire you to new ideas and bold interior achievements.
Walls
"Flexible Stone"
Roll material, one of the types of wallpaper, the front surface of which imitates the color and texture of a stone (for example, light sandstone). Strips of flexible stone are applied to the walls treated with adhesives, after which the joints are rubbed until smooth. Even after many decades, a flexible stone will not change its original properties: this material is resistant to fading and abrasion.
