Commercial PVC floor Wilsonart International Contract division
Two of the biggest design considerations during the
transformation of a 1935 post office into the new Kerr Arts &
Cultural Center were lighting and flooring. According to KACC
president Jim Derby, a special order laminate tile product from
Wilsonart Commercial Flooring was chosen because it was
precisely the right blend of blues and greys needed to
compliment the rest of the center%u2019s décor %u2013 and because it didn%u2019t
compete with the artwork.
Wilsonart Commercial Flooring also offered several other
significant advantages over other flooring types. %u201CIt%u2019s a high
quality commercial-grade product,%u201D notes Derby. %u201CIt wears very
well with hardly any maintenance at all. It never looks dirty, even
when there is a lot of traffic during a show.%u201D
Another key advantage that Wilsonart Commercial Flooring
brought to the project was its %u201Cfloating floor%u201D installation right over
the existing asbestos tile: many other flooring options would have
required the tile to be removed which would have added cost
and time to the project. Instead, the 16,000 square foot job was
completed in just one week and one weekend, ensuring the
center%u2019s timely opening.
