2012-02-17T07:54:00.000-08:00

Change Collection is Now Available in 18"x36" Modular

Tandus Flooring’s Sero design technology revolutionized the way modular carpet is designed by thinking beyond the square. The Sero process begins with the Powerbond^® platform then transforms the design into modular. Now with the availability of an 18”x36” modular carpet, design is truly more than just a square.

Style Change in 18"x36" modular, herringbone installation

The introduction of Sero design technology was highlighted with the Change Collection consisting of three innovative styles: Change, Nonconform and Factory Floor. Recognized with last year’s Best of NeoCon^® Editor’s Choice award, these styles visually illustrate the Sero design approach which emphasizes the design of the floor plane rather than the square.

Tandus Flooring Wins Most Colorful Award at Miami Design Mix

2011-05-19T09:53:00.000-07:00

The wedding dress of Kate Middleton, now Her Royal Highness Catherine, wasn’t the only bridal garment making fashion history recently! Tandus Flooring® made runway history at Design Mix 2011 with its interpretation of a lively Tropical-themed wedding dress and bouquet.

This original, surprisingly wearable wedding couture is completely crafted from Plexus Colour II Powerbond. The Miami City Center IIDA chapter, sponsors of the event, declared Tandus Flooring the winner of the Most Colorful Award. Tandus Flooring worked with students from the Miami Art Institute to design the classic empire-waisted gown that transforms from a full-bodied, above-the-knee skirt in front to a full-length train in back. The only element that isn’t from Tandus Flooring is the bride’s veil though it’s adorned with a decorative flower appliqué that’s Plexus Colour II Powerbond.

The eighth annual fashion show paired industry members such as Tandus Flooring with design students to fabricate wearable garments. Proceeds went to the International Design Association Foundation of Florida (IDAF) which is awarding scholarships to local design students. Tandus Flooring competed with 24 other manufacturers and sponsors to win the distinction of Most Colorful.
