SOLON, OHIO, June 10, 2018 — Tarkett, a worldwide leader in innovative and sustainable flooring and sports surface solutions, introduces Tandus Centiva’s latest style ideal for senior living and hospitality with Garden Walk, a soft surface healthcare collection that features ColorPoint broadloom, Powerbond® and modular tiles.
Based on the evolving needs of the next generation, the new Garden Walk Collection features smaller, more contemporary patterns and soft, neutral palettes inspired by natural elements.
Inviting, reflective and restorative, these spaces are designed for body, mind and soul. Twelve patterns and 12 colorways of contemporary, soft neutrals combine to invoke a fresh, high-end, spa-like environment. The collection works in a variety of spaces, including dining, corridor, spa, library, recreation, and pre-function rooms, to create active, contemporary areas.
Garden Walk includes Powerbond, modular and ColorPoint broadloom platforms to create the most comprehensive small scale and large scale collection for senior living environments. Coordinating color palettes change in color depth from pattern to pattern, crafting soothing and calm spaces. Today’s seniors demand the feeling of home in their living facilities, and Garden Walk provides this in several soft surface formats.
