Retail Flooring Solutions

Creating Profitable Retail Experiences

E-commerce, the pandemic and digital technologies reshape consumer behaviors. Shoppers are increasingly buying online, however still want an out-of-home shopping experience that is human and tactile. 
 
Find out which trends are shaping the sector and how Tarkett can help retailers create an exceptional experience across every square foot of the site footprint. 

Is Your Floor a Cost or a Revenue Generator?

Retail is arguably the most competitive sector of them all. Profit margins are razor thin, barriers to entry are low (online) and no other industry has been more disrupted by digital transformation. But there’s one thing that hasn’t changed for retailers. Everything that happens in the store, happens on the floor.
 
 At Tarkett, we’ve spent decades intimately understanding the needs of retailers, consumers and the people specifying every fixture and fitting. We help store planners and designers get their custom look and feel. We help procurement departments tilt the finances their way. We help maintenance personnel keep it clean and simple. 

A Solution for Every Space

Whether you are specifying flooring solutions for grocery, automotive, hospitality or a Main Street destination, our experts already know your pain points and how to elegantly resolve them. When all is said and done, we make sure your floor makes you more.

Make Every Touch Point Matter

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but decades spent in the retail sector prove one thing to us - the Main Street versus online debate was always a false choice. The simple truth is that retail is, and consistently will be, omnichannel.

Transforming Enviornments

Whether consumers browse in person or on a browser, the onus is on making every visit count. The best brands expertly traverse both worlds—making the shopping experience enjoyable and memorable. In the brick & mortar sphere, the key is to make sure the retail environment works well in three aspects—for consumers, for employees and for general upkeep.

Physical outlets are no longer single purpose or a mere point of sale. They are simultaneously fulfillment centers and brand showrooms. They need to be engaging, comfortable and easy to maintain.

Human Conscious Design

For nearly 140 years, Tarkett has been a leader in transformative flooring solutions. While our methods have evolved, our process still begins with careful consideration of the goals held by those who live, work and play on our surfaces. Taken together, we call our mixture of craft, science and purpose Tarkett Human-Conscious DesignSM. And it drives everything we do. Designing spaces around the people who use them leads to higher personal performance and more cohesive team collaboration.

Proof in Every Step

When we say social and environmental responsibility are core to our business, we mean we design floors to create healthy, safe spaces inside our walls and out. For us, these things are not just add-ons. They are woven, stamped, and sealed into everything we do. But more importantly, we do not just say this, we prove it.
