The 2mm Collection with Class A Fire Rated and FloorScore® Certified Designs Embodies the Texture and Warmth of Home for Commercial Environments
Parterre Flooring Systems, a leader in luxury vinyl flooring and surfaces, explores the use of luxury vinyl on both floor and wall applications with the launch of Avara Luxury Vinyl Floor & Wall. Designed to be versatile and evoke a sense of comfort and tranquility, Avara’s designs offer texture and depth, capturing the feeling of home in any living or commercial space.
The Avara 2mm collection includes 26 luxury vinyl designs—24 planks and two tiles—that were curated from current best-selling 3mm Parterre collections Vertu, InGrained, Fused, and Storri. The 24 plank designs are Class A fire rated for use on walls in commercial interiors and FloorScore® certified. With a home-like ambiance in mind, Avara’s luxury vinyl options range from soft wood grains and contemporary planks to delicate stone looks—incorporating the resimercial trend often found in commercial design.
“Avara has an overall balance of color and tone — grays, browns and other neutrals in both warm and cool tones. The designs chosen for the collection coordinate well together, whether mixing multiple products in one flooring installation or choosing two options for a complementary wall and floor pairing,” said Parterre Product Designer, Roche FitzGerald. “Product with texture is key to creating movement on the wall without falling flat — Avara is a product that designers and even patrons will want to go up and feel for themselves.”
Avara provides a balance with its floor and wall applications for living spaces like apartments and condominiums, as well as light commercial environments such as workplace, retail and hospitality. The striking wood aesthetic creates movement and intrigue on an accent wall or extends coordinating designs on the floor for a seamless flow from the ground up.
22 of the luxury vinyl flooring and luxury vinyl wall plank designs are 6” x 36” x 2mm in size, the two Kennett designs are 7.25” x 48” x 2mm, and the luxury vinyl tile options are 12” x 24” x 2mm. In addition to the 2mm dryback format, a selection of Avara designs are available in 5mm Loose Lay and 5mm Rigid Core Click formats. Each 5mm format is easy to install and offers sound reduction qualities with a thicker construction.
All designs in the Avara Luxury Vinyl Floor & Wall collection have the high quality and craftsmanship that Parterre is known for. Utilizing hot press technology, Avara has a sturdy construction with multiple layers of backing that are fused together to create a tighter bond for a more stable product all around. Like all of the Parterre luxury vinyl products, the Avara collection features an ultra-clear, high-performance wear layer that is easy to maintain and has a resistance to staining and scuffing. The result is a beautiful surface that is both long lasting and durable.
