Germania Insurance
Brenham, Texas | February 10, 2023
Introduction
Serving Texans for more than 125 years, Germania Insurance offers a variety of insurance options, including auto, home, life, liability, renters, and much more. As part of its guiding beliefs, the company continues to change and adapt to meet the community’s needs; therefore, it was time to update its office space to continue best serving its customers.
The Story
The company, headquartered in Brenham, Texas, partnered with PlanNorth Architects and Chappell Hill Construction. Tasked with updating the 1980s design and décor, the team needed to replace the original brick-paver flooring throughout the lobby, corridors, and hospitality areas of the facility.
The team specified Crossville Porcelain Tile Panels by Laminam in I Naturali in the Travertino Grigio Venato colorway for the floors. The designers were able to create a high-impact interior scheme because the porcelain tile panels have generous dimensions of 3′ x 9′, allowing for minimal grout lines in a modern aesthetic. With outer dimensions measured in feet yet a profile of only 5.6 mm in thickness, the panels were quickly and easily installed in a full-size stacked pattern providing a seamless style.
The I Naturali collection offers the building owners even more positives. The porcelain panels provide exceptional strength and performance, as well as ease of maintenance—essential characteristics for flooring that needs to last and look great doing so in such a busy, high-traffic environment. Long-term, the panels – with their durable, pure porcelain bodies – will be easily maintained while retaining their elegant appearance.
Conclusion
Crossville’s porcelain tile panels proved to be the facelift Germania Insurance needed. The porcelain tile panels provide the perfect foundation for the new furniture and accessories in the lobby and throughout the customer spaces.
