Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Gerflor Creation LVT in my home?
Absolutely. Gerflor Creation LVT is highly suitable for residential use. The Creation 30 range is specifically designed for homes, offering durability for typical domestic traffic. Creation 40 provides enhanced durability for busier households or light commercial use. With realistic wood and stone designs, water resistance, and easy maintenance thanks to the PUR+ surface treatment, it's an excellent choice for kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, hallways, and bedrooms.
How do I clean and maintain Gerflor flooring?
Gerflor flooring is designed for easy maintenance. Thanks to surface treatments like PUR, PUR+, and SparClean®, regular cleaning typically involves sweeping or vacuuming to remove loose dirt, followed by damp mopping with a neutral pH cleaner. No waxing or polishing is required for the lifetime of the floor. Always refer to Gerflor's specific maintenance guidelines for the particular product installed.
What makes Gerflor Tarasafe different from standard vinyl flooring?
Gerflor Tarasafe is specifically engineered as safety flooring. It incorporates aggregates like mineral crystals or silicon carbide within the wear layer to provide enhanced, sustainable slip resistance (often R10 or R11 rated), crucial for preventing slips and falls in wet or demanding environments like commercial kitchens, bathrooms, healthcare settings, and schools. Standard vinyl may not offer this guaranteed level of slip resistance throughout the product's life.
Are Gerflor floors environmentally friendly?
Gerflor demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability. Many of their products contain recycled materials, are manufactured in ISO 14001 certified facilities, contribute to improved indoor air quality with low VOC emissions, and are 100% recyclable at the end of their life cycle through schemes like Gerflor Second Life. They continuously work to reduce their environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle.
