080 FOCUS Tarkett Karndean Commercial


KARNDEAN Commercial has introduced the Opus abstract collection featuring 24 new colourways in a range of tones, textures and sizes inspired by traditional trends from the Italian Renaissance, including natural stone, textiles and human-made materials. Te designs include organic pigments with a textile base, terrazzo from the Adriatic coast and stucco reimagined for the 21st century, as well as distinctive stencilled and abstract visuals on natural stone bases and timeless poured and speckled concretes. Designed for use in a range of settings including hospitality, retail and community living schemes, the new designs can be paired with existing wood planks and stone tiles from the Opus range to create imaginative bold bespoke floors. Te collection makes it possible to create visual movement with


areas of pattern in perfect symmetry or offset designs for a disjointed uniformity. Fleur Carson, commercial sales director at Karndean Designflooring, says: ‘We’re proud of the craftsmanship of our product designers and what has been achieved by creating such detailed textures and textiles. Replication of natural wood and stone designs has always been a fundamental part of what we do and we wanted to expand these boundaries to open up new territory and opportunities for design. We’re excited to see how designers will use our new portfolio to let their imaginations fly.’ Opus abstract designs feature an R10 slip rating and 0.55mm wear layer, making these suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial settings. Karndean flooring is also compatible with underfloor heating systems. karndeancommercial.com/opusabstracts


TARKETT has launched Safetred Serenity, a sustainable slip- resistant safety floor suitable for a wide range of applications, including hospitality, leisure, workplace, education, healthcare and aged-care environments. Te range is available in a variety of neutral hues inspired by the beauty of the UK and Irish natural landscapes and environments. Each of the 12 shades were designed to evoke feelings of tranquillity, from palettes that reference sand, water or stone. Created as a multifunctional safety floor solution, the collection is suitable for both barefoot and hard-sole shoes. Tis, combined with its calming serene palette and DSDC accreditation, lends itself for use in dementia-inclusive and neurodiverse settings. Shaz Hawkins, segment marketing manager for healthcare, aged care and education at Tarkett, says: ‘Te Safetred brand was originally created by pioneering British company Marley Flooring in the 1970s, and joined the Tarkett family nearly 20 years ago. Safetred Serenity is a new practical, multifunctional and hard-wearing safety floor with impeccable eco credentials that blends seamlessly into any space, no matter the style.


‘I’m really proud of what we have developed and the flexibility this flooring solution offers – myriad opportunities for creative exploration that supports neurodiverse design, all the while protecting people and the planet.’ Safetred Serenity is manufactured from almost 50% recycled content, using 100% recycled and recirculated industrial water as part of a closed-loop water system. Te collection is free from phthalates and biocides to protect people’s health and well-being while in use, and once it has served its purpose, it can be recycled in Tarkett’s in-house recycling centre in Kent. tarkett.co.uk
