In a tough world we sometimes need tough solutions. And we all know that no aspect of safety should be overlooked when it comes to providing a slip resistant flooring solution that not only looks naturally stunning, but also gets the job done.
International vinyl flooring and interiors specialist Gerflor has refreshed its popular Taralay Impression range with two brand new ranges that provides a tough, slip resistant sheet flooring solution for a host of applications.
Taralay Impression Control and Wood are both multi-purpose floorcoverings available in 2m sheet format with a Group Twear rating which makes them ideal for tough, heavy traffic environments.
The Group T wear rating EN 649 - EN 651, provides low-maintenance, low-overall lifetime costs and as a bonus is 100 percent recyclable. The A+ BRE rating also means they are robust and reliable. They are available as a stunning collection of modern and contemporary wood designs suitable for applications in both the contract and housing markets.
These high-end performance floorcoverings are also ideally suited for heavy traffic areas in healthcare, education, retail and other markets that have significant footfall. Very often it’s all about providing the answer to the problem and both Taralay Impression Control and Wood deliver a tough, no-nonsense solution that addresses the safety requirements, is durable and looks fantastic.
The design of both products is a perfect option for designers who are seeking to create a natural look whilst retaining the all so important safety and durability factors that may need to be provided for the client.
