The project at a glance

- Location — Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China

- Why it suits the brief — Cold-welded seams, mop clean, no wax cycle, EN 13501-1 Cfl-s1
What this interior demanded
A hotel banquet floor is a floor that changes furniture every few hours: round tables become a theatre layout, a theatre layout becomes a reception, and none of it closes the room for a week. The things that fail first are the joints and the top surface. A carpet with a pile flattens where the tables stand, and a sheet vinyl shows every scuff where chairs are dragged. A woven face holds its pattern because the pattern is in the weave rather than printed on it, and the seams are welded rather than left as a line where soil collects.
Meeting rooms add a second requirement: the floor has to stay quiet when a door opens onto a corridor of delegates. Wall to wall woven vinyl has no pile and no underlay void, so it does not drum; where a room needs real absorption, acoustic modular tiles go in instead and can be replaced a square at a time.

The same construction today
The build is unchanged: a 1.0 mm woven vinyl face on a 3.0 mm PVC foam backing, 4 mm in total at 2,400 gsm, supplied in 200 cm rolls and cold-welded on site. Colour fastness is tested to BS EN ISO 105-B02 and B-04 at grade 4–4.5, and the construction carries EN 13501-1 Cfl-s1.
