Vinyl Flooring - Linoleum Flooring - Floor Coverings - Commercial Flooring
Tarkett, a global leader in sustainable flooring
solutions, has reinvigorated its iQ Optima range of
homogeneous vinyl flooring with fresh new colours and
formats, and enhanced performance characteristics. iQ Optima
is now a genuine multi-solution offer, with the addition of
Optima Multisafe for wetrooms and iQ Optima Acoustic for
heavy traffic areas where noise is an issue. iQ Optima meets
all the requirements of commercial flooring, providing a
single solution or a complete, coordinated design that flows
seamlessly between rooms and functions.
iQ Optima features unique self-regenerating properties that
mean simple dry buffing fully restores the flooring’s
appearance, providing lifelong quality and performance.
Together with the reduced use of water and minimal use of
cleaning agents, iQ Optima offers the best life cycle costs
on the market. Enormous savings can be made by installing an
iQ Optima flooring rather than one that has simply been PUR
treated.
With indoor air quality an increasingly important
consideration, it’s reassuring to know that iQ Optima has
VOC emissions below quantifiable levels, creating healthier,
people friendly interiors. It is also phthalate free and has
an excellent environmental profile being made with up to 54%
natural materials and 25% recycled content. iQ Optima is
100% recyclable at end of life, and thanks to its reduced
cleaning requirements it helps to conserve water and energy
and limits the use of detergents.
With 64 colours to choose from, iQ Optima has a solution for
every mood and style, offering timeless classics alongside
unique new designs including wood and combination colours.
All colours are available in a classic smooth embossed sheet
and tile, and for the new Essence collection additional
options of grained effect embossed sheet and tile together
with a smooth or embossed plank format are available. The
planks also have bevelled edges to help create the look and
feel of real wood.
Every colour in the iQ Optima range is also coordinated with
a multi-colour welding rod. With contrasting colour chips
that coordinate with the floorings accent colour and design,
they provide the perfect finishing touch and a great
seamless look.
