The current Covid crisis is leaving us with valuable lessons, both on a personal and professional level. In the housing sector, one of the main conclusions being drawn concerns the preference for new, more ambivalent types of homes and a firm commitment to quality in all aspects of materials, finishes and services. Bearing in mind that we do not know for sure when this situation will end and if it is likely to be repeated, there are trends about the houses of the future that have undoubtedly come to stay.
Throughout the confinement, homes have become the main centre of our lives. They have been the protagonists and witnesses of how we have had to adapt to a situation more typical of a science fiction film than the reality we were used to. Details that we did not use to value, or did not appreciate enough, are now gaining justified prominence. One example is the enhancement of open spaces.
In the case of flats, balconies and terraces have become a valuable asset. In fact, real estate portals have experienced in their visits an exponential increase in searches related to homes with open spaces.
It is precisely in this aspect that the choice of ceramic for the surfaces of terraces and balconies takes on special importance, so that these rooms become the favourite spaces for the whole family. We cannot forget that ceramic, because of the materials with which it is manufactured, guarantees conditions of hygiene, durability and versatility, far beyond other options.
In this sense, the products of the Esmalglass-Ítaca Group also provide that ‘sensory experience’ so necessary to project a touch of value, both indoors and outdoors. We want to be your best ‘allies and accomplices’ in continuing to make your home the best refuge.
