Finding the Right Flooring for a Shopping Center
A shopping center is a public-access building (ERP) where a warm, home-like atmosphere provides customers with comfort that contributes significantly to their overall shopping experience. Architects and contractors designing or renovating these spaces need to find the ideal floor covering. In shopping centers, the floor is subject to heavy use: constant foot traffic from customers, staff movement, and exposure to stains and premature wear. To combine aesthetics, durability, and easy maintenance, our ROC varnish-finished parquet range is the most suitable solution. Designed for high-traffic areas, it ensures optimal resistance while enhancing the ambiance of your commercial space.

Safety and Compliance with Public Building Regulations
Shopping centers fall under the category of Public-Access Buildings (ERP in french), which imposes strict standards for flooring. Our ROC varnish parquets comply with safety and accessibility regulations, ensuring they meet current standards, including commercial-use classification.
Shock and Wear Resistance in Shopping Centers
Shopping centers face not only foot traffic but also the use of carts, strollers, and other equipment. With its ultra-resistant finish, the heavy-traffic parquet can withstand such pressure without losing its shine or strength. It’s the ideal solution for areas that demand maximum floor durability.

Easy Maintenance for Large Areas
Maintaining floors in a shopping center must be fast and effective to ensure top-notch hygiene and appearance. Thanks to its high-quality varnish finish, our ROC parquet is easy to clean daily. A simple sweep or vacuum is enough to remove dust and dirt, especially when paired with the L+ parquet cleaner.
