2023 Top Flooring Products

SofTop Comfort by Sherwin-Williams Wins 2023 Top Flooring Products: Specialty Flooring

By Tanja Kern
2023 Top Flooring Products Specialty Flooring winner: SoftTop Comfort by Sherwin-Williams
November 30, 2023

Sherwin-Williams High Performance Flooring introduced SofTop Comfort flooring systems, an addition to its seamless resinous flooring collection. These systems offer a harmonious blend of comfort, acoustic benefits, aesthetic appeal and sustainability. SofTop Comfort systems are soft underfoot, providing better ergonomic benefits and reducing fatigue for pedestrians, while maintaining strong durability. They are designed for a diverse array of applications and environments in which beauty and long-term tough performance are required. 

SofTop Comfort systems perfectly balance form and function, creating welcoming and secure spaces for living, working and leisure activities. They surpass many traditional floor covering types with their very easy maintenance and recoatability capabilities, ensuring a highly productive lifecycle. 

The seamless design facilitates efficient cleaning, allowing frequent and thorough sanitation routines that promote hygiene and safety in various settings, both in front-of-house and back-of-house applications. Unlike flooring with seams, SofTop Comfort limits hard-to-reach depressions and crevices that give dirt and pathogens places to hide. These elastomeric flooring systems are waterproof, tolerant of extreme temperatures, and highly resistant to cracking, chipping and impact. Moreover, they possess exceptional sound-dampening properties, reducing echoes and contributing to quieter indoor environments. The incorporation of a two-component polyurethane resin-based technology in the flooring enhances its noise reduction capabilities. SofTop Comfort flooring systems find applications in various settings, such as hospitals, clinics, schools, pharmaceutical and life science facilities, retail and hospitality venues, offices and public spaces.

Installation of SofTop Comfort Systems is efficient and straightforward, allowing for seamless application over prepared concrete substrates. The flooring effectively bridges cracks, absorbs vibrations and accommodates minor substrate movement without compromising performance. Additionally, the high traffic satin topcoat offers a fine slip-resistant texture, further enhancing safety. The SofTop Comfort range includes two systems suitable for different traffic levels: SofTop SL, featuring a flexible membrane with a polyurethane topping, and SofTop Comfort SL, which offers a denser membrane for areas requiring added strength, sound dampening and cushioning.
