Flooring has evolved beyond durability and aesthetic appeals. It is now considered as rise of smart tiles that transform your floor with technology driven innovation. Flooring now offers enhanced functionality, convenience and sustainability. From self-healing surface to energy generating floors, smart tiles are reshaping the commercial, residential and even industrial flooring.
How the Tiles are becoming more Smart? Let’s find out in this article.
Smart Tiles
Smart tiles integrate advanced materials and digital technology to improve flooring performance. Unlike traditional tiles, these flooring solutions are generating energy to ensure real time data and adjust temperature to even clean themselves.
Key Features of Smart Tiles
Embedded sensors for foot traffic monitoring
Self-healing capabilities for minor cracks and damages
Energy harvesting properties to generate power from footsteps
Temperature regulating surfaces for optimal indoor climate
Anti-microbial coating for enhanced hygiene.
Energy Generating Smart Tiles
One of the best groundbreaking advancements in the flooring system and its technology is the development of smart tiles with Piezoelecric technology. This means that kinetic energy from foot is transformed into electricity. This is new innovation and already use in airports, shopping malls and high foot traffic areas to power LED lights, sensors and other low-energy devices.
Advantages
Sustainable energy solution for high foot traffic areas.
Reduces reliance on external power sources
Helps businesses and cities lower carbon footprints
Self-healing tiles
Self-healing tiles are the future of durable flooring where repairs and cracks are major concern. This is usually residential areas and private business workplaces. Self-healing flooring are smart tiles that uses advanced materials like polymer microcapsules to activate cracks appear, filling in the damage automatically. This extends the lifespan of flooring and minimize repair expenses.
