Retailers evolve into commercial projects

The world of retail flooring has evolved. As well as providing inspirational residential flooring solutions, many retailers are also geared to supply and fit local commercial projects in their area – these can range from independent hotels, guest houses, pubs, restaurants, holiday lets, and even schools.

This feature takes a closer look at flooring brands who have developed

products and services to cater for both the residential and commercial sector. It’s time to go wild with Beauflor Create - the answer to
cost-effective custom floors.

With its high-definition digital printing technology that brings

photorealistic designs to the surface of performance sheet vinyl floors,

Beauflor Create lets projects make the most of their floor. So, whether

you need a school motto in a reception area, a themed design for a

leisure setting, a one-off art piece or a botanical wonderland; Beauflor

Create makes it possible.

The flexibility of digital printing not only lets you run wild with the

creative possibilities of Beauflor Create, but it also means a low minimum

order quantity. In fact, you can use just a single 88m2 roll of Beauflor

Create in your project and in any specification of Beauflor sheet vinyl.

With acoustic, slip resistant and heavy-duty options, performance and

design can be tailored to your exact requirements.

“Beauflor Create puts us in a unique position within the sheet vinyl market and makes it easy for everyone to enjoy a custom floor."

Create is available in Studio – where you can choose a design from an

extensive library or submit your own image – and Crea, which puts you in

touch with Beauflor’s design team to create a unique floor from your idea. Should you be installing Beauflor Create over a sizeable area, Create will provide you with a roll distribution plan so that installation goes smoothly.

All Create floors are made in Europe using exactly the same construction

as Beauflor’s standard ranges. This ensures you enjoy a floor that

performs just like you expect from high quality vinyl, while also still being

a cost-effective solution to bespoke flooring.

Chris Roberts, sales director UK, says:

“Beauflor Create puts us in a unique position within the sheet vinyl market and makes it easy for everyone to enjoy a custom floor. Not just designers, but contractors and end users can enjoy the service, particularly with the fun and creative designs in the Studio library. They are a great way to add some fun to the floor and make it a standout feature of the interior design.”

Whether you choose Studio or Crea, your floor will be ready in double

quick time, making Beauflor Create the fast and easy way to a custom floor.
