The “TEW Concept” (The Easiest Way) is a new decoration concept invented by “duralmond” which we can define as the installation of isolated volumetric elements in free layouts which are normally integrated in the construction project.

Revestimientos y Techos Duralmond S.L has been characterised by bringing the third dimension to decoration and interior design. We have several ranges of products but the main one is a collection of "decorative volumetric panels" made on square or rectangular panels to completely cover walls.

This type of panel presents several difficulties such as the joins with other materials, joins with elements like windows and doors, etc. with the cut of volumetric panels that offset the final design of the wall, the solution of internal and external angular joins, etc., the preparation of walls, strips and supports, etc...

The “Tew concept” proposes sets of volumes with greater modular freedom and a simpler installation. TEW involves sticking the volumetric element straight to the wall, which might or might not be prepared. The volumetric element is glued regularly or more freely depending on the effect that you wish to achieve. The elements are normally served with a pre-lacquer which sticks on any type of paint; this means that normally the whole wall is painted and the elements integrated. Another option would be to install the panels ending on a wall that has also been finished, probably with another colour, to achieve a different effect. There are also exterior architecture options which we will try and explain and other layouts for when there are no clean walls: skirting boards, freizes, moulded effects or even ceiling placement.

To summarise, the “Tew Concept” gives interior designers, architects and others the freedom to decide on the layout of the elements, the distances between them, to simplify the joins with other walls and elements such as windows, doors, shelves, etc. whilst suppressing the elements which were in those positions, and might prove an integrating element for certain decorations.

What’s more, it already carries the “duralmond” stamp which as a volumetric element gives and brings to the walls an expressivity, a capacity for scenery and an originality that normal flat, cold, existing materials do not bring. It is also possible to maximise the use of the installations because as well as not being an expensive material, installation is very simple and the density of the elements can be determined as with a low density, the cost of the "Tew Concept" is very affordable.

As we have already mentioned, there is great freedom as far as the placement is concerned and many possible options; the project manager may choose the visual effect that he wishes to achieve. In this section we are going to suggest some possibilities for installing the “tew concept”.

A) Manufactured pieces with a pre-lacquer treatment which are placed in an ordered fashion on the wall to be painted in the same way as the supporting wall.

This would be the most natural and adequate form of integrating the pieces with the rest of the decoration. You can achieve a sober and discrete effect compared to the other methods of installation.

B) Ordered, finished and differentiated from the supporting wall.

This is also a fairly rational presentation in the same way as the previous system but the pieces are finished and therefore differentiated from the supporting wall which must logically be prepared beforehand. In this case the TEW pieces stand out more and have a different finish and therefore do not appear integrated but the effect can be very interesting with a good colour combination.

C) Manufactured pieces with a pre-lacquer treatment which are placed in an unordered fashion on the wall to be painted in the same way as the supporting wall.

Especially adequate for pieces like the manos or burbuja model. The volumes stand out less and are integrated with the wall. The wall is prepared without painting, the elements are installed and finally the wall is painted.

D) Unordered, finished and differentiated from the supporting wall.

This is the most daring way of mounting the “tew concept”. It logically needs the wall to be prepared beforehand and painted before the installation of the elements and the end result stands out and is the star of its surroundings.

With special finishes and there are also special adhesives for exteriors. The layout of the pieces can be regular and orderly, irregular, or you can try layouts which, combining the density of the pieces with the background colour and the different colours would produce surfaces as impressive as the one in the image. Making a comparison, we could say that we were scaling down a living being with spectacular results.

EXTERIOR PLACEMENTS
In the same way as the rest of R y T Duralmond’s collections, we offer all project managers the possibility of creating their own pieces along these lines. The advantages as regards other collections are that the moulds, due to having a normally small size, are very ergonomic and we can customise projects and design individual projects according to the wishes of our clients.
