Collection: Retail Vinyl Flooring for Shops

Vinyl safety flooring, like Altro ContraX and Tarkett Safetred, is made to handle the hustle and bustle of busy areas. It’s tough enough for heavy foot traffic, has high slip resistance, and is super easy to clean. That makes it a great choice for spots like entrances, checkout lanes, and stockrooms where both safety and good looks matter.

Yes, products in this collection comply with the UK's qualitative slip resistance standard R9 to R12, commonly meeting or exceeding HSE guidelines. For example, Altro Walkway 20 has a textured surface ideal for everyday use.

Altro ContraX is extremely durable, designed for heavy shopping centre usage with advanced slip-resistant technology and a sparkle effect. Alternatively, Tarkett Safetred Universal is a more budget-friendly option with solid protection and universal colour choices. Both offer the same R10 rating and ease of maintenance. Choose ContraX for a longer life or Safetred for a more cost-effective option.

Yes, vinyl safety flooring can typically be laid over smooth, sound, and level subfloors, like existing vinyl, concrete, or asphalt. Ensure the surface is fully prepared, clean, dry, and level, and follow manufacturer guidance for adhesives and edge sealing to avoid trapping moisture or uneven wear.
