06 Tandus Sero design approach produces fluid transitions of pattern and color, allowing patterns to shift, flow and pool across the entire floor plane for dramatic, unified design statements that visually transcend the spatial limitations of the room. The Sero design approach began with our hybrid resilient flooring that pioneered sophisticated and unique designs allowing for ideas to take shape with Powerbond. Sero, now applied to modular, is a revolutionary approach that emphasizes the design of the floor plane rather than just the square.
