SmartPack looks like polished concrete Hmmm..do you think so? so the lines would just be where they have put joins to prevent the concrete cracking? My partner hates the idea of polished concrete haha Re: How can I find out what this floor is?!

Now it's just a matter of convincing Kerry... haha Every time I show her a picture of nice polished concrete, she loves it - until I tell her that it's polished concrete, then she hates it! Anyway, thanks again! Re: How can I find out what this floor is?! They ARE tiles!!! 10Feb 22, 2009 5:47 pm I love this Poliform kitchen. What colour do you think the lighter cupboards are? grey-brown? I think you can also achieve the look by using 450 x 450 or bigger white or light grey porcelin tiles braveheart Re: How can I find out what this floor is?! They ARE tiles!!! 11Feb 22, 2009 5:55 pm braveheart I love this Poliform kitchen. What colour do you think the lighter cupboards are? grey-brown? Yeh, we love it too - which is why we are basically replicating it in our new house Well..that's the plan anyway!! Oh...and the name of the tall cabinet colour is "corda" (gloss i'm assuming) which is described as sort of a mushroom colour! I'd think it probably wouldnt be too hard to match! Re: How can I find out what this floor is?! They ARE tiles!!! 13Feb 22, 2009 6:10 pm mek You can get Poliform to send you their kitchen booklet, it has all the colours listed at the back, with "swatches". Does anyone happen to have any idea what sort of $$ you'd be looking at for a Poliform kitchen?? I might sit down before I hear the response... Re: How can I find out what this floor is?! They ARE tiles!!! 14Feb 22, 2009 7:14 pm Ok...so unless there is something tricky going on in this picture, they are definitely tiles! I think........ haha
Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Any thoughts...? I guess they could be some sort of stone...but from the colour, seem more to me like porcelains....now I just need to find some that look the same!!! Re: How can I find out what this floor is?! They ARE tiles!!! 15Feb 22, 2009 9:26 pm I will take a guess at Poliform kitchens and go for around $50,000. I enquired about a Bontempi kitchen a while ago, they are also an Italian company but maybe not quite as exclusive as Poliform and their average kitchen cost was around $35,000. I also wanted to find out how much my dream kitchen cost (Poggenpohl Plusmodo) and it is all of $85,000 roughly.
Re. your tiles, I think you will have a really hard time finding tiles like this in Australia unless you look at the most expensive and exclusive Italian tiles. Good luck, I love your taste.

I'll let you know how I go!! Re: How can I find out what this floor is?!
