Tarkett Products:

General:

A hallmark of Tarkett is its product diversity. Not only does Tarkett offer a variety of flooring types (sheet vinyl, fiber, luxury vinyl tile, laminate, rubber, and wood) for both residential and industrial use but, most products it produces and distributes come in three measured degrees of quality (best living, better living, good living). This displays Tarkett's commitment to being able to serve anyone with a flooring need, regardless of their resources. Also, all Tarkett flooring goods are backed by a sound warranty because they firmly believe their product quality is so strong they have nothing to lose. Not to mention, Tarkett recycles old flooring that is destined for landfills and garbage dumps into new flooring products in all of its US-based plants.

Residential:

Tarkett's sheet vinyl flooring is noted for its durability and moisture resistance, making it a good flooring choice for almost any room in the house. With Tarkett's patented "TruTex Innovative Surfacing and Nature's Touch" finish, customers are bestowed a product with an exceptionally natural look at a price that is just beautiful.

FiberFloor, a Tarkett trademark, provides a floor so comfortable that it renders anything less (standard carpeting) simply unacceptable. The super foam supported floor is as good for small children (kids can be clumsy) as the elderly (easy on knee and back problems). FiberFloor is an impenetrable force! It can be placed anywhere from your bathroom to your basement without worry of moisture buildup or flooding ruining the product. Also, since no toxic glues or adhesives are employed to install FiberFloor, it is as easily installed as it is removed.

Luxury vinyl tile distributed by Tarkett comes in 30 designs, 20 textures and 160 different colors. With such variety any client is sure to capture the look they desire. Now, why use vinyl tile instead of regular tile? It requires less maintenance, resists cracking, chipping, and denting more effectively, is considerably easier to install, and is cheaper, quieter, and warmer that traditional tile.

Tarkett laminate floors stand out because their patented "X'Traloc" system makes installation easy enough for almost anyone to do. The pieces of the laminate flooring simply lock together and keep their place, displaying a look so real, no one will know it is not wood or tile. Added benefits of this Tarkett product are that they are stain, fade, fire and scoff resistant, ensuring a combination of aesthetic appeal and safety.

Wood flooring continues to be the most popular flooring choice for consumers – this is for a reason. Striking wood floors are known to add resale value to any house, a grandeur and mystique that is unrivaled, and the feeling of a natural comfort which no other flooring can replace. Plus, with the Tarkett label, the quality of the wood is ensures longevity. Tarkett's wood flooring products are also hypoallergenic for those with allergies and mold spore sensitivities. Not to mention that because wood floors can be refinished after long periods of use and appear as good as new, and because wood floors are biodegradable, they have less of a negative impact on our environment than other types of flooring. Tarkett would not have it any other way.

Industrial:

Tarkett's industrial vinyl tile comes in milano, granite, cortina, and several other varieties. From standard to premium quality options, Tarkett's industrial vinyl is made to take the extra wear and tear of hospitals, schools, or businesses, without compromising comfort or aesthetic appeal. Plus, it is easy to clean, to install, and to replace!

Tarkett's sports and multi-function rubber flooring is used for range of environments such as basketball courts, weight rooms, pro shops, and correctional facilities. Regardless of the reason for use, Tarkett's rubber flooring is known for receiving the FloorScore seal of approval, ensuring no build up of moisture or spores which contaminate indoor air quality. These floors also absorb the noise and pressure of consistently heavy use without missing a beat. These shock absorption characteristics of Tarkett's rubber flooring have the added benefit of reducing the risk of injury and lessen their level of severity. Now, who can argue against that.
