Why choose home nets rather than traditional flooring?

When you're looking to optimize the space in your home, there are a number of solutions to choose from: building a traditional floor, installing a mezzanine or adding a loft net! While home nets are often seen as a bold and playful choice, they also offer many financial and practical advantages over a traditional floor. Here's why it could be the ideal solution for your project.

1. Affordability

Building a conventional floor, whether wood or concrete, involves costly work due to:

• Buying sturdy, durable materials,
• Labor costs for complex installations,
• Structural adjustments (wall or ceiling reinforcement).

In contrast, a home net is a much less expensive alternative. All you need is:

• To purchase a custom-made net (on average €60-70 per square metre),
• A relatively simple installation, often feasible without major building work.

In this way, the net represents a lighter initial investment, while providing a functional and aesthetic solution.

2. The ideal space-saving solution

Optimizing space is crucial in modern housing, especially in apartments or small houses. A home net makes it possible to:

• Create a new usable surface without weighing down the existing structure,
• Give an impression of lightness and volume by letting light through,
• Create an additional multi-purpose space (relaxation area, children's playground or reading area).

Unlike a floor, which visually and physically divides space, a net maintains visual continuity, ideal for modern, open-plan interiors.

3. Faster, more flexible installation

Building a floor requires weeks of work, with all the associated inconveniences: noise, dust and unavailability of certain rooms in the house.

The installation of a net, on the other hand, is much quicker. In just a few hours, you can transform an unused space into a useful, secure surface. What's more, home nets are adaptable to different types of structure (wooden, metal or concrete), making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

4. A unique, modern design

Inspired by the boating world, the home net is also an eye-catching design choice. It adds a bold, contemporary touch to your interior. What's more, it's often seen as a fun, user-friendly solution:

• For children, it's a suspended playground,
• For adults, a cosy space for reading and relaxing.

This versatility and aesthetic appeal is not always equalled by traditional solutions such as flooring, which can appear bulky or restrictive.

5. A long-lasting, easy-to-maintain solution

Home nets are made from resistant materials such as our exclusive Marine 3S® polyester mesh, offering excellent resistance to wear and tear. Unlike a floor, which may require regular maintenance, nets require little effort:

• Periodic cleaning is all it takes to maintain its appearance and performance.
• Genuine catamaran nets, they are resistant to abrasion and harsh weather, making them ideal for long-term use.

6. Safety first

Although netting may seem less secure than a floor, our range of nets has been tested and approved by an independent inspection body. Residential nets are capable of withstanding 120 kg/m², providing a reliable solution for families.

In addition to this, the nets can be fitted with reinforced edges and sturdy fastening systems, guaranteeing a stable, long-lasting installation.

In short, investing in a home net is an excellent alternative to building a traditional floor for several reasons:

• affordability,
• easy to install,
• fun, aesthetic solution that optimizes space without partitioning it,
• durability and minimal maintenance.

If you're looking to transform your home or apartment without spending too much while adding a modern, innovative touch, home nets are an option to consider. It's an investment that combines functionality, economy and everyday pleasure.
