IVC COMMERCIAL
SOLVES PROBLEMS A range of Carpet Tiles and luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) from IVC Commercial have been used to overcome challenges in the London offices of a leading defence contractor.
Featuring in main workspaces, conference rooms and the boardroom, IVC Commercial floors were specified by Ashlar Projects to uphold a look that blends a strong geometric influence with classic design for the London offices of a leading defence contractor. Choosing from the Rudiments and Art Style carpet tile collections, as well as the Studio Moods modular vinyl concept and Moduleo 55 Tiles LVT, Ashlar Projects has utilised the floors to solve a wide range of challenges.
Tim Pullen, managing director, Ashlar Projects, said: “For selected floorcoverings, we turned to IVC Commercial for an ability to deliver solutions that combat specific problems with the minimum amount of fuss. From creating a bespoke design with Studio Moods to rapid installation through Flex Pro and delivering great acoustics with EcoFlex Echo, we’re impressed with the broad range of clever problem solvers.”
Reflecting a central backlit ceiling feature in the main desking space, Studio Moods in a trapezoid pattern has been used to striking effect, with the bespoke floor featuring wood and stone looks in Country Oak, Blackjack Oak and Cloud Stone. In corridors, Cloud Stone is again used in Moduleo 55 Tiles for a modern stone- effect floor that’s durable and easy to maintain. The floors were installed on Flex Pro, a self-adhesive underlay that speeds installation, improves sound absorption, works over subfloor imperfections and creates a level transition to surrounding carpet tiles.
For the glazed partition conference rooms, IVC Commercial’s Shared Path and Disruptive Path carpet planks have been installed in a herringbone pattern to deliver high visual impact. In a palette of tonal grey with deep blue highlights that reflect the company’s brand palette, the carpet planks connect the conference rooms with the rest of the scheme.
achievement, given the still challenging times. We are delighted to have smashed this year’s target so early thanks to the commitment, effort and enthusiasm shown by our participants throughout the UK.”
RECOFLOOR SMASHES
ANNUAL TARGET Recofloor has beaten this year’s 500 tonnes target more than two months early. By the end of October 2021, the growing scheme had collected 517 tonnes of commercial waste vinyl flooring for recycling.
Carla Eslava, Recofloor manager, said: “It’s great news and a fantastic

Several factors that contributed to hitting their target before the end of December include the ongoing buoyancy of the construction sector
as pandemic measures relaxed and refurbishment projects of all types forged ahead.
Carla continued: “Many of our contractors have reported being very busy over the last 18 months or so, particularly in healthcare and care home settings, which has helped to lift our collection volumes. We also think we currently have a core of more
Within the boardroom, special attention was placed on acoustics, with Ashlar Projects specifying IVC Commercial’s Balanced Hues in the optional Ecoflex Echo backing. A classic and smart tweed look that’s well suited to high-specification spaces, the carpet tile helps with privacy during sensitive discussions by absorbing up to 100% more sound. The extra underfoot comfort of the backing adds to the boardroom’s premium feel.

Throughout the last 12 months, Recofloor has expanded its membership network and now has 57 drop-off sites at flooring distributors nationally where material can be dropped off and bulked for collections.
Carla added: “Recofloor members are passionate about doing their bit for the environment; by using the scheme, their waste vinyl avoids being landfilled. Plus, it offers a convenient and sustainable waste disposal solution that saves them time and money.”
Recofloor is free to join and easy to use. The scheme accepts luxury vinyl tiles (LVTs), smooth, safety and loose lay vinyl offcuts, roll ends as well as uplifted smooth and loose lay vinyl. Material is recycled and used in new products, including flooring.
