Vertical and horizontal tiles: different visual effects

Vertical and horizontal coverings are essential elements in interior design, having a significant impact on the aesthetics and functionality of spaces. These cladding techniques not only improve the visual appearance of the walls, but also help create a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. We at RATGROUP SRL pride ourselves on our expertise in custom cladding, having over 10 years of experience in the industry, working mainly in residential projects in Switzerland, Austria and Germany.

Vertical cladding is characterized by its vertical orientation, which creates the illusion of height. This technique is ideal for rooms with low ceilings, as it helps draw the eye upwards, giving the feeling of more generous space. For example, in a new apartment in a residential complex in Bihor, we used Admonter antique wood vertical cladding, which not only added an elegant look, but also improved the overall perception of the height of the room.

The horizontal covering, on the other hand, is oriented horizontally and is excellent for broadening the perception of a space. They can be used effectively in new studios or small apartments, where every centimeter counts. In a recent project, we created a horizontal cladding with high-quality wood panels, which created a visual effect of enlarging the room, making it appear more open and welcoming.

When it comes to choosing materials for vertical and horizontal coverings, it is important to opt for quality products. We at RATGROUP SRL only use the best materials available on the market, such as UZIN adhesive and Admonter wooden panels. We use professional equipment from renowned brands such as Bosch, DeWalt and Festool to ensure flawless execution of our work.

Installation techniques for vertical and horizontal cladding are fundamental to obtaining a quality final result. We use specialized Wolf and Janser machines to ensure precise cutting and a perfect finish. Our Opel Vivaro mobile workshop also allows us to be on site quickly, ensuring that all the necessary tools are at hand.

The choice of colors plays a crucial role in influencing the visual effects of the covering. Light colors can amplify the feeling of space and light, while darker shades can add depth and intimacy. In a recent project for a hospital in Passau we used warm beige tones for the vertical cladding, which helped create a relaxing atmosphere for the patients.

The combination of vertical and horizontal coverings can add dynamism to the interior design. This approach allows for the creation of distinct areas within the same room, providing an interesting contrast. For example, in a new apartment in a modern residential complex, we implemented vertical tiling in the living area and horizontal tiling in the bedroom, thus achieving a coherent and attractive design.

The impact of cladding on interior acoustics and comfort should not be underestimated. The materials used can contribute to sound absorption, reducing echo and improving the acoustic quality of the space. In a project for Caverion Deutschland GmbH we used wooden acoustic panels which not only improved the aesthetics but also reduced ambient noise.

Current trends in interior design include innovative coverings that combine different textures and materials. We at RATGROUP SRL keep abreast of the latest industry trends, ensuring that we offer our customers modern and attractive solutions. The use of premium materials not only enhances the visual appeal of the space but also ensures long-term durability.

Lighting plays an essential role in highlighting vertical and horizontal siding. Well-designed lighting can bring out the textures and colors of the materials used. In a recent project for a Mercedes Benz showroom in Munich, we integrated discreet LED lighting that accentuated the beauty of our wood panels.

The maintenance and durability of vertical and horizontal cladding are important aspects to consider. Using superior quality materials and proper installation techniques, our work is designed to last. We advise our customers to carry out periodic maintenance of the coverings to maintain their impeccable appearance.

Choosing the right cladding style for different types of spaces is essential to achieving a cohesive design. Whether new homes or residential complexes, each project requires a customized approach. Our team of experts is ready to provide advice and solutions tailored to each client’s needs.
