PVC and carpet flooring
Carpet
Carpeting is a popular choice as a flooring material for office buildings and hotels due to its many advantages.
Comfort, symbolized by warmth and softness, is definitely the first reason to choose a rug. Acoustics, carpet dampens the footsteps and improves the overall acoustics of the room. Safety, falling is softer and things don’t break so easily. Slip resistance, due to the high coefficient of friction of the carpet. Health, the carpeted room breathes better because the carpet binds dust and allergens. Quick maintenance, this may seem surprising, but vacuuming a carpet requires only one procedure and is faster than hard floor maintenance.
The gallery of exciting patterns suitable for hotels can be found in Radic’s selection, where the carpet can also be ordered with a company logo or personal pattern. The wide range of colors of single-colored velour carpets is also outstanding. The tile carpet is at the forefront of the Burmatex product range, while Radici has also surprised with a couple of exciting series. Our consultants will help you make your choices.
PVC
PVC flooring is a durable and budget-friendly solution. Homogeneous PVC flooring is the most well-known type and inspires trust thanks to its uniform, through-body material. Heterogeneous PVC, on the other hand, has a stronger surface layer and offers a wider selection of decors. Adding a cushioning underlayer reduces footstep noise and improves acoustics. For both technical solutions, the surface of Gerflor floor coverings is treated and does not require waxing throughout the entire service life.
LVT Tiles
LVT tiles are a good alternative to laminate and other wood floors thanks to their similar format and highly realistic decorative designs. SPM provides solutions for wall protection using handrails, bumper rails, and corner guards.
COVID-19
Materials used in indoor spaces also play an important role in the fight against viruses, as the survival time of a virus can vary greatly depending on the surface. Handrails and walls are primary contact surfaces, but the virus can also spread from the floor in several situations—for example, when we remove our shoes, place our bag on the floor, or move around in a wheelchair.
The Gerflor Group has collaborated with virologists and achieved results compliant with the ISO 21702 standard, showing that the amount of coronavirus on SPM handrails decreases by 99.9% after just 2 hours, and by 99.7% on PVC floor coverings with Evercare or Protecsol surface treatment. Gerflor’s solutions for combating viruses help us stay healthy.
