WIDAC Commercial Interiors has announced its official partnership with Gerflor, a global leader in specialised flooring solutions, marking a significant step forward for the Sri Lankan commercial interiors market.

Through this collaboration, WIDAC Commercial Interiors will introduce Gerflor’s internationally recognised flooring systems to Sri Lanka, with a strong focus on sports flooring and hospital flooring, two segments where performance, safety, and durability are critical. The partnership brings proven global solutions to local institutions, enabling projects to meet international standards while responding to the practical demands of high-traffic environments.

With more than 37 years of experience, over 2,000 completed projects, 3,000 clients, and more than 5 million square feet of interiors delivered, WIDAC Commercial Interiors has established itself as one of Sri Lanka’s most trusted commercial interior solution providers. Known for its integrated approach spanning design, supply, and execution, WIDAC continues to expand its portfolio with partners that share its commitment to quality and long-term performance.

Gerflor, headquartered in France and present in more than 100 countries, is globally respected for its innovation in resilient flooring systems designed for professional environments. Its solutions are widely used in sports facilities, hospitals, educational institutions, and public buildings, spaces where safety, hygiene, and durability cannot be compromised. Notably, Gerflor has been the official flooring supplier to the Olympic Games since 1976.

The introduction of Gerflor’s sports flooring solutions will support the development of safer and more resilient athletic environments across Sri Lanka. Designed to absorb impact, enhance comfort, and reduce the risk of injury, these floors are trusted in schools, training centres, and professional sports venues worldwide. Their durability and low maintenance requirements also make them well-suited for facilities with continuous and intensive use.

Equally significant is Gerflor’s range of healthcare flooring solutions, developed to meet the demanding requirements of hospitals and medical facilities. These floors are engineered to support infection control, ease of cleaning, and long-term performance, key considerations in clinical environments where hygiene, safety, and reliability are critical. With increasing investments in healthcare infrastructure across Sri Lanka, the partnership offers timely access to flooring systems designed specifically for these critical settings.

Speaking on the strategic importance of the partnership, Gerflor Regional Sales Head  Benjamin Le Toux said: “Sri Lanka represents a market with growing expectations for performance-led, specialised environments. Partnering with WIDAC Commercial Interiors allows us to bring Gerflor’s global expertise closer to local projects, supported by a team that understands execution, standards, and long-term value.”

This partnership also strengthens WIDAC’s ability to support a wide range of local stakeholders, from educational institutions and healthcare providers to developers, consultants, and contractors, by offering flooring systems that align with international benchmarks while being adapted to local conditions.

Commenting on the partnership, WIDAC Commercial Interiors Director Tarusha Weerasooria added: “Our collaboration with Gerflor reflects our commitment to bringing globally proven solutions to Sri Lanka. As commercial interiors continue to evolve, clients are looking beyond aesthetics to performance, safety, and long-term value. Gerflor’s expertise perfectly complements our experience in delivering high-quality interior solutions.”

Beyond products, the collaboration represents a shared philosophy: delivering solutions that perform consistently over time, reduce maintenance challenges, and support the people who use these spaces every day. With WIDAC’s deep understanding of the Sri Lankan market and Gerflor’s global innovation, the partnership is positioned to raise the standard for specialised flooring solutions in the country.

As Sri Lanka continues to invest in sports, healthcare, and public infrastructure, the WIDAC–Gerflor partnership brings together global expertise and local execution, setting a new benchmark for quality, safety, and performance in commercial flooring. Gerflor’s flooring solutions are now available for viewing at the WIDAC Experience Centre - No. 36, Dudley Senanayake Mawatha, Colombo 8, allowing clients to experience their performance and finishes firsthand.
