Safetred Serenity: designed for its next life

Inspired by nature, Safetred Serenity offers a new, inclusive and sustainable solution to the existing Safetred portfolio – a complete range of safety floors.

Designed to blend seamlessly into any environment, this multifunctional collection offers a calm and serene pallet as standard, which is DSDC accredited - lending itself perfectly to healthcare settings that require dementia-inclusive design schemes.

Protecting people and planet

Safetred Serenity can help create a safer environment in healthcare facilities. Its R11 slip resistance helps reduce the risk of slips, trips, and falls, which is crucial for protecting patients and staff from accidents and injuries. Additionally, the flooring is suitable for both barefoot and shod application, making it ideal for patients who need to walk around barefoot, especially those undergoing physical therapy or using a wet room. At the same time, staff and visitors who are wearing shoes can also benefit from the slip-resistant surface, where water spillages and contaminants may occur.

Not only is Safetred Serenity a flooring option that offers both sustainability and practicality, it's also an excellent choice for hospitals that are committed to a greener future. This eco-friendly floor uses 100% recycled and re-circulated industrial water and contains approximately 40% recycled material. Furthermore, Safetred Serenity is entirely recyclable, making it a smart option for those looking to reduce the carbon footprint of their healthcare facility – protecting both people and planet.

In addition to its eco-friendly qualities, Safetred Serenity can be installed without the use of adhesives in all areas bar wet rooms, which reduces its environmental impact even further and saves on installation time. Moreover, the installation off-cuts, production waste, and post-use adhesive-free floors can be fully recycled. This means that Safetred Serenity provides healthcare providers with a sustainable flooring solution that is not only practical but also contributes to a greener future.

A truly British safety floor solution

The Safetred collection comes from a rich heritage that goes back to the late 1970s where Marley Flooring launched the first Safetred floor, Safetred Aqua. With a unique construction, that included cork, the floor was a flexible wet room solution, perfect for coving and installing into drains and falls.

Now part of the Tarkett family and wanting to pay homage to this wet room collection that was retired some years ago, the team started working on a new solution: a practical, multifunctional, and hard-wearing safety floor, that was suitable for any space, no matter the style. A collection of serene tones inspired by the UK's craggy coastlines, sandy beaches, misty mountains, babbling brooks and starry nights, came together to form Safetred Serenity, which offers designers a myriad of opportunities for creative exploration. 

Safetred Serenity is a beautiful and practical flooring option that ticks all the boxes. It's sustainably produced, inclusive, multifunctional, and can blend seamlessly into any environment. With over 40 years of pioneering British manufacturing heritage, the Safetred Serenity collection remains consciously designed for its next life.
