Mannington Commercial Launches Premium Rubber Flooring
5.20.09 | Calhoun, GA | Mannington Commercial announced today the launch of Premium Rubber Flooring tiles, wall base, stair treads and finishing accessories. This hard surface flooring is the latest of Mannington's choices that work across the full range of hard and soft floorcoverings for commercial interiors projects.
In an economic climate when many companies are scaling back on products and services, Mannington, a privately held company, is increasing high style and performance options for designers, flooring contractors and end users. In June of 2008, Mannington acquired Burke Industries, a California-based company with a strong reputation for superior quality rubber products.
"We saw a real opportunity in the marketplace, to provide a truly premium rubber offering that meets the highest design expectations," says Zack Zehner, Vice President - Commercial Hard Surface. "We knew that rubber flooring would enable us to provide more coordinating solutions than ever to corporate, healthcare, education, retail and hospitality projects. So we began looking for a solution that lives up to Mannington standards, and found it in Burke."
Mannington Commercial's Premium Rubber Flooring launches with a full and complete offering of tiles, wall base, stair treads and finishing accessories. The premium rubber tiles come in classic round, simple square or sculptured texture profiles, in solid colors or with nondirectional complementary flecks throughout.
More than seventy colors cover the spectrum from fashion forward hues to classic neutrals. For full color integration across a project, Mannington has created the Sync™ coordinated color palette: 25 colors that are uniform across the full product line and coordinate with Mannington VCT.
At NeoCon 2009, Mannington will also introduce a line of innovative, beautiful rubber tiles designed by global architectural firm HOK. Inspired by an exploration of the logic of the building blocks of human experience, Audio Spectra premium rubber flooring is part of the Spectrum collection, which unites rubber with coordinating modular carpet tiles.
Headlining the wall base offering is Edge Effects™, sculptured rubber wall base, chair rail and quarter round that simulate milled and painted wood. The Edge Effects sculptured wall base is available in thirteen profiles that vary from classic, traditional styling to sleek, contemporary aesthetics. Edge Effects offers the look of wood trim without the risk of indentations, scuffs, abrasions or the challenges of installation and maintenance that come with wood.
Supporting these products are wall bases, stair treads and a wide array of finishing accessories in both rubber and vinyl formulations. Developed for flexibility and performance, these products are designed to withstand heavy traffic while preserving their color and look, as well as enabling easier installation, cleaning and maintenance.
"While we will continue to provide high styled vinyl products with strong value, our rubber line provides a vinyl alternative product," says Zehner. "We are always looking to offer real choices that work for designers, prioritizing sustainability, design and performance. Driving sustainable choices is a core objective at Mannington, and we are already pursuing ways to incorporate recycled materials into this product line, as part of our goal to include significant recycled content in every Mannington Commercial product."
Mannington Commercial has distinguished itself as one of North America’s premier manufacturers of high quality floorcoverings for hard and soft surfaces. Its range of choices in both categories is unparalleled, and its sustainability platform is built upon innovative measures to improve closed loop recycling, reduce waste streams and reuse waste materials. Mannington stands upon a better business ethic, better products and a better world for the good of the people who create and use their commercial and residential products. http://manningtoncommercial.com.
