Floor Talk!

Gerflor, a global leader in the design and manufacture of vinyl resilient floor coverings, today announced the use of its Taralay Premium Compact collection in a major music television network building in Los Angeles, California. Taralay is ideal for high traffic areas and is treated with the patented floor treatments Sanosol® (an antimicrobial solution) and Protecsol® (a “no-polish-for-life” solution). Available with optional acoustic closed cell backings that provide ergonomic relief and comfort underfoot, Taralay also provides excellent sound absorption.

“Shimoda Design Group is pleased to specify Gerflor flooring on this project,” says Shimoda Project Designer, Sue Chang. “When Shimoda Design Group considered floor coverings for the staff café, Gerflor’s diverse product designs and superior performance qualities were major benefits to our client. Gerflor flooring solutions are easy to clean and reduce noise to provide a welcoming, clean environment for employees.”

“Gerflor offers designers and customers a wide range of design options for all types of commercial environments,” said Alan Fennell, President of Gerflor U.S. Commercial Flooring. “Our extensive offerings of high quality products and vibrant colors further extend our presence in the U.S. as the world’s leader in vinyl product selections.”

Gerflor uses ingredients that are non-carcinogenic, non-mutagenic and non-reprotoxic in the floor manufacturing process. The Company’s patented floor treatments reduce the use of aggressive chemicals during maintenance, which helps to conserve water and energy, and improves indoor air quality. All of Gerflor’s flooring is 100% recyclable at the end of lifecycle.
