Victoria Alikhina about the Decor Studio "Faktura.UA"::

1. Why do you use surface finishes in the interior, considering the range of other solutions available for the surface decor?

The choice depends on the room’s functions, and the function in turn determines a certain type of the premises operation. So, for example, in access areas, dining rooms, kitchens, children's rooms, bathrooms, the decorative plasters are the preferable choice, because they are easy to maintain and can be combined with other types of surface coatings such as tiles, mosaics, etc. The environmental performance is also a very important advantage of this decorative coating.

2. How does the surface plaster relate to the interior’s style?

With decorative plasters you can work both in classical interiors and in modern interiors, so I do not see any relation. The materials offered by “Faktura.UA” can be used in completely different stylistic directions, and turn any idea into reality.

3. What are the advantages of using surface finishes as an alternative to natural materials?

I am a big fan of natural materials, but when it comes to practicality and operation, the decorative plasters win. The surface finishes can achieve 100% accuracy of the desired visual and tactile effect, and they are easier to clean and more environmentally friendly to people living in this interior than natural materials. Also, using surface finishes returns a more predictable and easy-to-replace result.

4. What is your source of inspiration for using certain textures in the interior?

Of course, the main inspiration comes from natural materials, the nature itself. They draw us into this adventure to create certain textures and interior designs. Also, fabrics and textiles inspire me a lot. We recreate them in our works.

5. To what extent did “Faktura.UA” manage to realize your ideas using the Armourcoat materials?

We got excellent results and achieved all our goals. In our show-room, we have created really beautiful ceilings using the black Armuralia from Armourcoat, also the surface with the fabric walls effect and more artistic things. In general, all the tasks were different and we realized them all.We got excellent results and achieved all our goals.

6. Which of the materials’ characteristics are the most important for you: technological, ecological, price, visual or any other properties?

For me, of course, all the indicators are important.

7. What are the advantages of using the British decorative materials Armourcoat for you?

The advantage of using British decorative materials Armourcoat is in the possibilities – there are so many of them! You are constantly presented with new techniques, also, new approaches can be developed and used in combination with your technologists and this has a certain "hand-made" feel about it.

8. What is your opinion on the work of the "Faktura.UA" management team (sales department, technical department)?

The entire "Factura.UA" team work promptly and always achieve the required result at all stages of decorative finishing.
