This page summarises Adore Floors’ SPC (Solid Polymer Composite) flooring collection in Europe, including five product ranges designed for residential and commercial applications. The material highlights the company’s commitment to quality, design innovation, and durable vinyl flooring solutions across diverse interior environments.
🎯 Company Overview & Core Values
Adore Floors is a leading European wholesaler of luxury vinyl flooring with over 50 years of industry experience. The company specialises in LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile), and rigid core SPC flooring distributed globally to contractors, distributors, and DIY markets.
The company operates on three foundational pillars:
Design (competitive pricing and timeless aesthetics for residential, retail, hospitality, and commercial sectors),
Service (warehouses in Belgium, Italy, and France enabling rapid delivery), and
Quality (rigorous EN ISO testing and European-based technical support).
🔬 Product Technology & Features
Core Innovation: Registered Embossed (EIR) Process
EIR embossing enhances depth, texture, and realism by synchronising surface texture with the design layer, creating a natural, high-end wood appearance. This manufacturing technique combines authentic aesthetics with practical click-system installation.
EIR is available on Sovereign|RE and Imperial ranges exclusively.
