Many years ago, families had one television in the corner of their living room and just four channels. If you wanted to watch a film, you’d go to the cinema. Kids also played outside with sticks for entertainment. Those days are gone. Today, the screen is the entertainment and it’s become as integral to the home as the fridge – if not more so.
Since the Pandemic, many homeowners have chosen to make their homes well, more homely and in subsequent years there’s been a significant change in how people view the place they live. There’s been more investment in home renovations and a greater appreciation for family time and that’s where TVs come in. A true focal point, TVs are enjoyed by all and mounting them on the wall means everyone can see the film and it’s a smart way to save space. A media wall elevates this by effectively framing the TV and it can also incorporate shelving and even electric fireplaces. They are a highly desirable addition and one where you can let your creativity run wild.
Of course, we specialise in Dekton and this is a great material for media walls. Let us tell you why.
Heat resistant – Dekton is heat resistant and won’t crack or burn, so you can go ahead and include that beautiful electric fire you’ve been coveting.
Seamless finish – it’s available in large slab formats from 270x100cm up to 336x167cm and thicknesses of 4cm to 20cm so it offers maximum flexibility and the opportunity for seamless continuation. If you’re looking for a media wall that’s even bigger, Dekton can be book matched so it will appear as if in one piece.
Choice of colours and patterns – there’s more than 60 different colours and patterns. Like the look of natural stone? Aura could be you with its white veining. It’s inspired by Carrara and Calacatta marble but easier to maintain. Or how about Grafite, a grey hued design for a more industrial look. All slabs are available in 4,8,12 and 20mm thicknesses.
Low maintenance – grubby little fingers pawing at Peppa Pig on the TV? Dekton is easy to keep clean and requires little maintenance. It’s also scratch resistant so it’s robust enough to withstand family life.
Versatile – if you want to incorporate LED lighting, Dekton makes it possible. LED lighting shows off the beauty of the wall and can be customised to include coloured lights to really set the tone – even when the TV is off. Floating shelves can also be incorporated if you’re after more storage.
Sustainable – Dekton is a carbon neutral material throughout its life cycle and is manufactured with renewable energy and renewable water so it’s a more ecologically sound choice. Some surfaces are made with up to 80 per cent recycled materials, too.
