In today’s design world, the lines between the built environment and the natural world are being beautifully blurred.
As biophilic design gains momentum globally, more architects, designers, and homeowners are seeking ways to reconnect their spaces with nature. At Gilardino Flooring, we’re proud to be part of this movement — offering heterogeneous vinyl flooring solutions that bring the beauty of natural wood into your space without the drawbacks of real hardwood.
Whether it’s the golden warmth of oak, the rich character of walnut, the clean softness of pine, or the calm, subtle elegance of maple, our flooring collections offer you a wide variety of wood-look styles. With high-resolution printing and authentic textures, our floors capture the look and feel of real wood so convincingly, they can often be mistaken for the real thing.
Biophilic Design in Action
Biophilic design is about more than plants or green walls — it’s about creating environments that make people feel good by mimicking natural patterns, materials, and sensations. Research has shown that being surrounded by natural elements — even representations of them — can reduce stress, improve mood, and boost productivity.
Our heterogeneous flooring embraces this philosophy by bringing nature-inspired aesthetics indoors. Every grain, knot, and color tone is designed to replicate the irregular beauty of natural wood. The result? A warm, calming, and organic atmosphere that supports both physical comfort and mental well-being.
Beyond Beauty: Why Heterogeneous Flooring Outperforms Wood
While real wood has its charm, it also comes with many challenges: it’s prone to warping, difficult to maintain, and expensive to install. Gilardino’s heterogeneous flooring solves all of these problems with a high-performance, multi-layer structure engineered for modern lifestyles.
Here’s what makes our floors different:
-
Multilayer Composite Construction: Adds strength and flexibility for long-term use.
-
Fiberglass Reinforcement Layer: Enhances stability and prevents deformation over time.
-
UV Surface Treatment: Resists stains and scratches while making the surface easier to clean.
-
Cushioned Feel Underfoot: Offers superior walking comfort compared to harder materials.
Whether you're designing a high-traffic commercial space or a serene home sanctuary, our flooring delivers comfort, durability, and a natural aesthetic — all in one package.
Eco-Conscious by Design
Our commitment to sustainability is deeply aligned with the core values of biophilic design. We manufacture our heterogeneous flooring using eco-friendly materials that meet international environmental standards like CE and FloorScore® certifications. From production to installation, we aim to minimize environmental impact without compromising on quality or beauty.
Additionally, our low-VOC products support healthy indoor air quality, making them a responsible choice for schools, hospitals, offices, and homes alike.
Versatile for Every Space
From residential interiors to commercial environments, Gilardino’s heterogeneous floors adapt beautifully to a wide variety of settings. With excellent resistance to moisture, wear, and heavy foot traffic, our floors perform effortlessly in kitchens, hallways, lobbies, retail stores, and healthcare facilities.
More importantly, they help you create spaces that feel grounded in nature, even in the middle of a busy city or a sterile commercial setting. That’s the power of biophilic design — and the promise of Gilardino.
Step Into Nature, Stay in Control
At Gilardino Flooring, we believe that great design should be both inspiring and practical. With our heterogeneous vinyl flooring, you don’t have to choose between the beauty of natural wood and the performance of modern materials. You can have both.
As biophilic design continues to shape the future of interiors, our floors are ready to support your vision — offering comfort, sustainability, and timeless aesthetics in every step.
