Why Tarkett flooring

  • Commercial-grade durability in a residential price point — The wear layers, click systems, and core construction are engineered for commercial traffic, then released in residential lines. Real-world durability that outlasts mass-market vinyl.
  • European environmental standards — Phthalate-free, low-VOC, FloorScore-certified across most product lines. Manufactured to EU REACH chemical safety regulations.
  • 140-year heritage — The accumulated R&D in adhesion, embossing, and click engineering shows in real-world wear performance.
  • Strong residential warranties — Most Tarkett residential vinyl carries 25+ year warranties; premium LVT lines extend to lifetime residential.
  • Wide aesthetic range — European oak visuals, classic North American hickory and maple looks, modern stone visuals, and herringbone formats.

Tarkett purchasing concerns — solved

  • "Made in Canada or imported?" Tarkett operates manufacturing across Europe and North America. Many residential vinyl SKUs sold in Canada are made in Tarkett's Houston or Florence (AL) facilities. European LVT lines ship from France or Sweden.
  • "Tarkett vs Shaw or Mohawk?" Tarkett's commercial DNA shows in dimensional stability and wear-layer adhesion under temperature swings. Shaw and Mohawk are strong residential brands but originated as residential carpet companies.
