Most German office specs no longer ask “carpet or vinyl?” — they ask “where does each start?”

Tefloor’s project team in Germany treats LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile)​ and SPC (Stone Plastic Composite)​ as complementary to carpet tiles, not competitors.

LVT in German offices

  • Glue-down LVT, 0.55 mm wear layer, for meeting rooms and director offices
  • Softer underfoot than SPC, good with chair mats
  • Prints wood, terrazzo, concrete — fits Munich minimalism and Hamburg industrial lofts

SPC in German offices

  • Rigid core, 4–6 mm, click system
  • Used in reception, corridors, lab adjacencies​ where water, wheels and abrasion dominate
  • Dimensionally stable under German floor-heating systems (Fußbodenheizung)

The Tefloor transition detail

Tefloor installs a flat metal profile​ between carpet tile and LVT/SPC so chair casters roll across without catching. In Frankfurt banking floors, this detail alone prevents 30% of edge complaints.
