The635mm x 635mm PVC tiles, with a 2mm thickwear layer, anti-static properties and an R10rated slip resistant surface, were chosen forthe approximately 2,000 sq.ft store where aceramic floor could not be laid.“We had a vinyl tile floor before but it was highmaintenance and hard to polish, we could notlay ceramic over the subfloor in the shop andwanted a replacement flooring that would below maintenance.” - store owner.“GTI went in very well, and, by fitting a sectionat a time trading was unaffected. We havechosen a darker colour that only needs simplemopping to stay looking good. The finishedeffect is as good as ceramic but it is easier toinstall and simpler to maintain.”For further information on Gerflor’s latest innovations:Call: Great Britain - 0044 1926 622 600 or Republic Of Ireland - 00 353 429 661 431Visit: www.gerflor.co.uk or www.gerflor.ieEmail: contractuk@gerflor.com

RETAIL gerflor.co.ukCostcutter NorthamptonshireBy opting for Creation Clic System, aCostcutter retailer in Northamptonshire hasdifferentiated the off-licence from the foodaisles and created a ‘shop within a shop.’ The17.6cm wide Creation Clic System planks are100% waterproof, resistant to leaks andspillages and available in 12 attractive colours.“I would recommend Creation Clic System toany retailer who wants to highlight a sellingarea without ruining the floor underneath,”- store owner.“Previously we looked into highlighting thealcohol area with a laminate but this wouldhave meant ruining our new ceramic floor witha latex screed. Gerflor’s Creation Clic Systemhas since provided the solution: it does notrequire a screeded subfloor or adhesive andwill not damage the floor beneath. Plus, unlikea fixed floor, we can just undo it and lift it whenneeded and easily replace any damagedstrips.”Costcutter East YorkshireA Costcutter store in East Yorkshire is evidencethat a combination of GTI and Creation ClicSystem can be the perfect in-store flooringpartnership.“I’ve never been so impressed with productsbefore,” - store owner, who has had GTI fittedin the main body of the shop and Creation ClicSystem in the newly created off-licence zone.The new floorings replaced existing vinyl andformed part of a major refurbishment.“Their use speeded-up the refurbishment workso much so that customers noticed the turnaroundfrom one day to the next.
