Digital Tiles: A New Trend in Interior Design

Digital tiles are now becoming a growing trend in sprucing up interiors. The design of these tiles can be created using digital design software such as Photoshop or Illustrator to create digitally-rendered images which are then transferred to the surface through high heat and pressure.

Although most digital tile designs are still on the conventional side such as those resembling marble or wood finishes, there are actually limitless possibilities when it comes to this new material. Users can opt to print images of faces, artwork, metallic patterns and so much more. In terms of maintenance, they are developed to be anti-bacterial, scratch-proof and resistant to dirt and stains and can be cleaned off using a sponge or damp cloth.

Printed images are also done in high-definition quality which enhances its three-dimensional aspects. Another reason why digital tiles are becoming more trendy these days is because of its seamless finish as the digital canvas can be customized according to shape and size. Most are also manufactured with glossy finish though some can be customized to have textures or in matte.

A new technology in digital tiles is the nano-polishing feature which allows the material to be resistant to water and dust. Special nano particles are added as an invisible layer over the tile to achieve this effect.

Today, digital tiles are becoming a hit especially in places where opulent, modern interiors are appreciated. In Bangalore, shops like the Ambani Digital Wall Tiles, Orient Tiles, Dodda Nekkundi, Favourite Tiles and Kajaria Ceramics are seeing a surge in clientele when it comes to this wall and flooring material.
