Flooring flair for commercial spaces
With so many retailers providing a supply and fit service for commercial spaces we thought we’d take a closer look at flooring brands who have developed fit for purpose products to cater for both the residential and commercial sector.
Karndean Designflooring is a trusted market leader in the residential sector for innovative and ultra-realistic designs which are also suitable for most commercial settings. From community living and build to rent developments to hospitality and office settings, Karndean’s designs offer an authentic natural look, the versatility to design bespoke floors and the technical specifications to cope with demanding situations.
Richard Allen, sales director at Karndean Designflooring, said:
“Our wood and stone design floors offer endless potential for imaginative yet practical floors. With our latest Art Select
collection, for example, it’s easy to recreate a historic style or
a fresh contemporary look. A consistent tile thickness allows
different laying patterns to be used for interest or a bespoke mix
of wood and stone designs to demarcate activity zones.
“Inspired by some of the rarest and most precious materials, each floor embodies the essence of its original source while protecting threatened natural landscapes. Our new Calacatta marble designs were developed from a small sample obtained from the same Carrara quarries used by Michelangelo in the 16th century, while the pearlescent magic of onyx, unsuitable for flooring in its natural state, has been recreated and combined with cutting edge technology to produce a robust flooring with a unique translucent quality.
“Because the beauty of nature has always been our inspiration, we are working to ensure that the natural world is protected for future generations. Our Karndean EvolveTM strategy sets out how we are reducing our environmental impact and supporting the flooring industry to transition towards a circular economy.”
Available for fast delivery across the UK, Karndean’s Art Select
gluedown range features a 0.7mm wear layer and 3.0mm thickness and comes with all the benefits of Karndean flooring, an Environmental Product Declaration and the reassurance of a 20-year guarantee in commercial settings.
Those who know Lano know that they service multiple segments. Besides being a valued supplier for residential carpet and artificial grass, the Belgian carpet manufacturer is also known for its hospitality and commercial ranges.
Custom projects, including Axminster woven carpets, are key in this segment but at Lano they also have a standard stock programme called the Pilotis collection which is presented in a handy compact suitcase.
The content is a range of different carpet ranges in commercial but contemporary shades and textures and even some tile qualities, all available from stock. Returning to the custom programme, for all qualities in the suitcase, Lano offers a custom colour service. How does that work? The customer chooses a carpet quality, provides a colour reference, and receives several proposals to choose from.
It goes without saying that all qualities meet all the requirements and standards for the commercial segment. The new Pilotis 2025 suitcase is now available, you can get in touch with your local sales representative for further information.
Moduleo’s
Intoo loose lay luxury vinyl is the ideal floor for commercial projects. Offering premium design in wood, stone and terrazzo effects with an ultra-matt textured finish, Intoo has a 0.55mm wear layer made to excel in spaces such as offices and hospitality. The floor’s scratch and stain resistance, combined with its easy to maintain finish, mean it stays looking good under heavy use. Made in Belgium specially for loose lay installation, Intoo uses tackifier rather than being fully bonded to the subfloor. This makes fitting cleaner and faster, and as a plus, Intoo is easier to uplift, replace or remove at the end of life for reuse or recycling.
Matthew Brook, national sales manager, Moduleo, said:
“While our dryback Roots floors are often used in commercial environments like shops, hotels, housing and offices; Intoo has been released to fulfil the growth for loose lay luxury vinyl floors that are compatible in height with carpet tiles. In offices, it’s common
practice to create floor designs that mix these two materials throughout spaces as a way to zone. By using the same installation method and avoiding transition profiles between the floors, it gives
a faster install and cleaner looking end result.”
