At Flooring Providers, we’re focused on sourcing products and sustainable solutions that can be confidently utilised in commercial projects.

Located in the heart of Dublin, we are close to numerous architectural practices and have supplied flooring to projects such as Tom Johnson House – the largest energy saving retrofit in Ireland – highlighting our ability to contribute thoughtful, sustainable design. This growing focus on energy-efficient and eco-friendly design increasingly influences the materials that interior designers and architects select for future projects.

Flooring Providers' brands support designers by offering products that integrate with branding and interior aesthetics while providing more sustainable flooring solutions for commercial environments.

Our brands are focused on third party verifications and testing to ensure transparency in environmental performance. Now, in this blog, you can learn about some of the actions our brands are taking towards developing sustainable flooring solutions.
