Floor medallions work as centerpieces in flooring design.They are typically made by a water jet cutting company, such as Precision Cutting Service, from various materials, including granite, marble, porcelain, and vinyl composite tile (VCT). People use them as decorative inserts in otherwise plain floor patterns. They add considerable interest to a floor and can make a statement about what your family or business values.
The design possibilities for floor medallions are almost limitless. If you can imagine it, a water jet cutting company and a good installer most likely can make it. Business logos, school mascots, family crests, and intricate artwork are among the hundreds of different types of floor medallions Precision Cutting Service has produced recently.
Here are three factors you should consider when choosing a floor medallion:
- Material
- Color
- Balance
Material
Typically, but not always, the material you use for your floor medallion will match the material you use for the rest of the floor. However, as an accent, you might consider creating a floor medallion from marble to insert inside a porcelain tile floor. High traffic areas where tighter budgets are in play will usually select a VCT floor medallion to be inserted into a larger VCT floor. But granite also works well for high traffic areas, particularly for lobbies.
Color
Color, of course, will largely be determined by your design, but you want to make certain that the color(s) you select are colors you’ll enjoy for years to come because a floor medallion is permanent. Once it is installed it is not easily changed.
Balance
Make certain you thoroughly think through where you will place the floor medallion because, as stated above, once it is down it is next to impossible to move. Make certain the placement of the medallion complements the rest of the surroundings. Likewise, the size of the medallion needs to fit the symmetry of the room or outdoor area and the rest of the floor and adjacent design.
