MATERIAL GALLERY

See how the material belongs in different spaces.

Residential, commercial, hospitality and bathroom concepts alongside real projects. Thoughtful negative space allows the surface to become part of everyday life.

MATERIAL CHARACTER

More than decoration,
a starting point for spatial experience.

01

Pure colour

An aggregate-free, single-colour finish for modern, minimal and branded spaces.

02

Seamless unity

Self-levelling application creates a continuous surface without the visual grid of traditional tiles.

03

Colour proposals

Discuss a project-specific colour in relation to brand identity, atmosphere and lighting.

APPLICATION

Applications

01Flagship stores
02Reception spaces
03Distinctive dining spaces
04Modern homes

MARKET PAIN POINTS

Real project challenges.
A new perspective on material value.

SHINKA considers installation, labour, renovation disruption and long-term maintenance alongside the surface itself.

01

Visual tile divisions

The challenge

Joints interrupt broad, pure-colour surfaces.

The SHINKA approach

A single-colour self-levelling layer lets the space and furnishings take centre stage.

02

Translating brand colours

The challenge

Ready-made tiles offer fixed sizes and colours.

The SHINKA approach

Discuss a tailored colour direction using samples and project requirements.

03

Renovation disruption

The challenge

Demolition affects occupants, neighbours and business operations.

The SHINKA approach

When suitable, overlay renovation can reduce dust and waste.

MATERIAL COMPARISON

Comparing common materials

There is no single right material. These comparisons cover form, design, installation, maintenance and applications. Results depend on the substrate, design, team and site conditions.

RENOVATION DECISION GUIDE

A pure-colour floor without the tile grid

Liquid Tile and Liquid Terrazzo use the same self-levelling floor approach. Liquid Tile omits aggregate for minimal, solid-colour spaces.

01 / Traditional replacement

Remove & replace tiles

Main steps
  1. Demolition and disposal
  2. Substrate and waterproofing repairs
  3. Setting out and laying tiles
  4. Grouting and curing
Key considerations
  • Noise, dust and waste
  • Colours and sizes limited to available ranges
  • Joints remain
02 / Overlay on existing finish

Tile over tile

Main steps
  1. Check for hollow tiles
  2. Interface preparation
  3. Lay new tiles over the old
  4. Adjust levels
Key considerations
  • Existing-layer risks remain
  • Raised floor level
  • Combined weight of both systems
03 / Solid-colour self-levelling

SHINKA Liquid Tile

Main steps
  1. Assess the substrate
  2. Dedicated base layer
  3. Solid-colour self-levelling layer
  4. Protection and curing
Key considerations
  • Approve samples and colour first
  • Address substrate defects first
  • For floors only; not for walls

Each method suits different project conditions. Consider budget, timing, substrate, future maintenance and design goals together.

VALUE / 2026 MATERIAL

Simple design. Informed decisions.

New materials should support design quality, installation efficiency, occupant wellbeing and long-term operation.

01

Minimal aesthetics

One colour brings calm, clarity and a sense of space.

02

Brand identity

Turn the floor into a consistent part of the brand environment.

03

Operational efficiency

Reduce demolition disruption and joint-cleaning demands.
