How to explore the fashion for concrete in pharmacy design?

As a raw material, concrete is widely known. However, as a material or decorative element, concrete is a very unique solution. Find out why in this article!

The characteristics of concrete

If you are looking to create an environment inspired by modern style and/or industrial, concrete is the material to consider! Innovative, elegant and timeless, it is perfect for designing truly outstanding interiors, with undeniable expressive potential. Much more than a purely structural element (exclusively used to make pillars, beams and arches), concrete is considered a neutral component of decoration, capable of adapting to different shapes and requirements and extremely popular in industrial decoration. In fact, it has become a real trend in interior decoration, when an attempt was made to transform warehouses into residences, preserving the original style of the construction.

Furthermore, another fascinating quality of concrete is its texture. Despite being imperfect, it serves as a sensory stimulus, possessing characteristics that make it unexpectedly attractive. For this reason, it is common to find interiors where concrete is used to create stimulating contrasts, combined with materials such as steel, glass or wood. In fact, currently, there are multiple and diverse design elements made of concrete, from lamps, tables or vases to sinks or countertops.

In this sense, we cannot ignore the solidity and practicality of this material. First, concrete requires little to no maintenance. Then, it lasts a lifetime, without the worry of degradation. For this reason, it is increasingly used to design flooring and highly resistant interior walls, discover some examples!

Polished concrete or microcement floors

Thanks to its durability and functionality, polished concrete is the ultimate flooring material. Being customizable in terms of brightness and smoothness, this material has gained considerable popularity in recent years. Furthermore, it gives rise to antibacterial surfaces continuous, without any joints or grooves. For this reason, it is extremely easy to clean and ideal for people who appreciate simplicity and practicality. Alternatively, microcement is a decorative coating made up of cement, water-based resins, additives and mineral pigments, very similar to concrete, but with a slightly different finish and application. Overall, this is an equally interesting solution that is worth considering!

Exposed concrete interior walls

To the walls Exposed concrete interiors are a highly versatile solution, thanks to their color. Although they give the space a feeling of an unfinished environment, the exposed concrete interior walls are ideal for giving special emphasis to the remaining elements of the room decoration. For industrial style lovers, the rough and asymmetrical look of exposed concrete walls is a true must-have that adds character and personality to any space.

Melamine coatings

This point may sound strange in an article about concrete. However, in cases where it is not possible to explore the first option, you can consider melamine – a much more affordable and equally interesting option. Despite being highly distinct, this alternative is ideal for remodeling of pharmacies and healthcare spaces, resulting in smooth, uniform and easy-to-clean surfaces. THE melaninis an “alkaline substance”, composed of 66% nitrogen. It is normally used as a coating for materials such as MDF or plywood, being an extremely durable and deeply versatile organic compound, capable of imitating the visual effect of concrete.
