Modular Construction
Better Flooring for Faster, More Efficient Buildings
Modular construction can benefit the built environment by enabling rooms or building units to be designed and manufactured within a controlled factory setting. Once complete, the units can be transported to where they are needed and assembled efficiently on site. This flexible approach can support the expansion of hospitals and healthcare facilities, the efficient delivery of schools, and the development of homes, build-to-rent schemes and workplaces. If requirements change in the future, these units can then be relocated, reconfigured or repurposed. By allowing buildings to adapt rather than be demolished and rebuilt entirely, modular construction can help extend their useful life, reduce material waste and lessen their environmental impact.
Tarkett supports modular projects with a broad portfolio of coordinated flooring and wall solutions for healthcare, education, residential and workplace applications. From early specification and product selection through to installation guidance and flooring take-back, our teams can help you choose solutions that meet the performance, design and sustainability requirements of each space.
Whether you need durable floors for high-traffic areas, acoustic comfort for living and learning, slip-resistant finishes for wet areas or coordinated surfaces across an entire building, Tarkett can help create practical, welcoming interiors.
Modular Construction in Key Sectors
Health & Aged Care
Healthcare environments need surfaces that respond to heavy use, safety, comfort and infection-control requirements.
Tarkett flooring and wall solutions can support patient bedrooms, corridors, treatment areas, bathrooms and staff spaces, with options for smooth, cleanable finishes, acoustic comfort, slip resistance and coordinated wetroom systems.
Education
From classrooms and student accommodation to corridors, washrooms and shared social spaces, education interiors need to be welcoming, robust and easy to maintain.

ReStart®: Supporting Circularity
Modular construction projects can include a wide range of spaces, from bedrooms, classrooms and clinical areas to corridors, offices, wetrooms and communal zones.
ReStart® is Tarkett’s take-back and recycling programme for eligible flooring waste. Within a controlled modular manufacturing environment, it can help suitable post-installation offcuts and selected post-use flooring move back into recycling routes, supporting circular economy principles and helping reduce material sent to landfill or incineration.
Alongside ReStart®, Tarkett can support modular manufacturers, specifiers, contractors and clients with product transparency information, Environmental Product Declarations where available, and relevant carbon information. This can help project teams evidence sustainability considerations across the flooring package, from healthcare and education modules to homes, build-to-rent developments and workplaces.
