Retail Flooring: The Foundation of Your Brand

Top Recommendation: Vinyl Click (SPC & WPC)

The ultimate defense against street grit and fatigue.

For busy shops, Vinyl Click is our top recommendation. We offer two distinct commercial types to suit different zones in your store: SPC (Stone Plastic Composite) and WPC (Wood Plastic Composite).

• SPC for the Shop Floor: The rigid stone core offers maximum density, making it the toughest defense against street grit, high heels, and heavy display racks in customer areas.
• WPC for Counter Areas: The wood-composite core holds more warmth and feels softer underfoot, reducing fatigue for staff standing behind tills for long shifts.
• Superior Scratch Resistance: Both types feature a commercial wear layer that offers better scratch resistance than laminate or wood.
• 100% Waterproof: No panic when customers trail in rainwater or umbrellas drip on the floor.
• Commercial Warranty: Backed by up to 30 years commercial warranty for total peace of mind.
• Overnight Installation: Click-lock system requires no glue and no drying time, meaning you can refloor your shop without closing for days.
• Slip Resistance: Textured surfaces provide essential grip for customers entering from wet pavements.

The Value Choice: Commercial Laminate

Cost-effective durability for large sales floors.

If you have a large floor area to cover, Commercial Grade Laminate offers an exceptional balance of performance and value. It provides a hard-wearing surface that handles heavy footfall and rolling clothing rails with ease.

• High Impact Resistance: tough melamine surface resists dents from dropped hangers or stock.
• Commercial Warranty: Includes up to 15 years warranty, ensuring long-term reliability.
• Fade Resistant: Ideal for window displays where constant UV exposure would bleach real wood.
• Budget Friendly: Achieve a premium look across a large square footage without breaking the fit-out budget.
• Easy Maintenance: Dust bunnies and street dirt can be swept away in seconds.

The Luxury Choice: Engineered Wood

Exclusive style for high-end boutiques.

For luxury boutiques—such as jewellers, tailors, or bridal shops—where footfall is lower but the “feel” of the shop must be premium, Engineered Wood is the perfect choice. It signals quality and exclusivity that synthetic floors can struggle to match.

• Brand Elevation: Real wood adds an immediate sense of prestige and high value to your products.
• Unique Character: Natural grain patterns create a bespoke backdrop for high-ticket items.
• Warm Atmosphere: Adds softness and acoustic warmth to intimate consultation areas.

Note: For the area immediately inside the entrance, we recommend a large high-quality barrier mat to catch grit before it reaches the wood.

Shop Fit-Out Design Trends

The Urban Showroom Stone-effect SPC tiles create a clean, minimalist backdrop that lets your products pop. This industrial look is perfect for streetwear brands, tech stores, and modern homeware.

The Boutique Herringbone Using a Herringbone pattern (in either Vinyl or Wood) immediately suggests “designer quality.” It naturally guides the eye through the store and adds texture to the floor without overpowering the merchandise.

The Natural Scandi Pale, whitewashed oaks create a bright, spacious feel even in smaller units. This clean aesthetic is ideal for gift shops, florists, and lifestyle stores.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the floor support heavy display units? Yes. Both our SPC Vinyl and Commercial Laminate are incredibly dense and can support heavy gondolas and racking. For extremely heavy fixed units, we recommend installing the units first and flooring up to them, or ensuring the load is spread.

How quickly can we reopen? Speed is vital in retail. Our floating floor systems (Vinyl Click and Laminate) allow you to install over existing hard subfloors without adhesives. A competent team can often refloor an average shop overnight, ready for trading the next morning.

Is it safe for wet weather? Our commercial Vinyl ranges are R10 rated for slip resistance, providing grip even when wet. However, we always recommend a high-quality entrance mat to dry customer shoes as they enter, which protects both your customers and your floor.
