Texas Granite

Retail
Retail and commercial area flooring
A retail floor works the longest hours in the building, with carts, heels, deliveries and the daily tide of customers, while carrying the brand from the storefront to the last aisle. Yorkshore works with architecture and design teams across Florida and New England on plank, modular tile and rubber that take the traffic and install overnight.

Applications
Spaces we specify for
-
Storefront and entry
The entry sets the brand's tone and takes weather from the street. Walk-off zones and stone visuals help keep grit at the door.
- Walk-off zones
- Weather and grit
- Material change at the threshold
-
Checkout and service counters
Queues concentrate a day's wear into a few square yards where staff and customers stand. Dense rubber and high-commercial LVT hold pattern and comfort at the register.
- Concentrated wear
- Standing comfort
- Pattern retention
-
Sales floor
The sales floor is the largest surface in a store and takes carts, heels and restocking from open to close. A commercial wear layer helps keep the finish through peak traffic.
- Cart and heel traffic
- Commercial wear layer
- Neutral visuals that let merchandise lead
- Modular formats for refits
-
Fitting rooms and lounges
Fitting rooms and lounges are slower spaces where customers sit and decide. Softer visuals and quieter materials suit these rooms.
- Quiet underfoot
- Softer visuals
- Carpet tile or broadloom options
-
Dining and food service
Restaurants and food halls put spills, chair legs and service traffic on one surface. Slip-resistant finishes and resilient materials keep front of house presentable through a double shift.
- Slip resistance
- Spill and stain cleanup
- Chair traffic
-
Stockrooms and service corridors
Stockrooms, service corridors and delivery routes carry rolling loads out of customer view. Rubber and resilient sheet take the traffic, dampen it and need only routine mopping.
- Rolling loads
- Sound dampening
- Simple maintenance
Selection factors
What to consider
- Wayfinding without signage: material changes that steer customers through the plan
- High-commercial wear layers and dense rubber for carts, heels and nightly cleaning
- Modular formats that move with the fixtures at the next refit
- Slip-resistant finishes in food service
- Fast-curing, low-odor adhesives for overnight installation
- Walk-off zones at the entry
