A
new premium bar and nightclub in the heart of Glasgow, Tuxedo Nightclub, is
successfully attracting a sophisticated clientele, thanks to its vibrant and
bespoke luxury vinyl flooring by Karndean Designflooring.
Located
within Glasgow’s iconic Merchant City neighbourhood, the underground venue
features Karndean’s Knight Tile Carrara Marble and Kaleidoscope Pennon in Opus
Luna, Urbus and Ombra throughout the large bar and club area with deluxe booth
seating, dance floors and VIP suites.
Designed
by Tuxedo’s in-house team and Kabe Design, Tuxedo is inspired by New York’s
neo-speakeasy scene and includes a statement company logo inserted into the
floor, cut from Karndean’s Knight Tile Carrara Marble and a gold block colour.
MacGregor
Flooring Company Ltd specified and installed Karndean Designflooring. Hamish
MacGregor, managing director of MacGregor Flooring Company Ltd said: “The
vision for Tuxedo was to create an upscale bar and clubbing experience in the
city to rival all others, and getting the appropriate look and feel for the
interior design is crucial when you want to offer a stylish and impressive
go-to destination.
“This
is one of the main reasons Karndean flooring was selected for this project –
the beautiful look of the Knight Tile Carrara Marble and the clean, elegant
lines of the geometric floor design fits so well with Tuxedo’s tasteful brand
and the exclusive atmosphere they want to exude as soon as the customers walk
through the door.”
Karndean’s
Knight Tile Carrara takes its inspiration from opulent, classic white marble
but is lighter, easier to handle, and comes with an R10 slip rating and 10-year
commercial guarantee. Adding a contemporary edge is the porcelain effect of
Opus Luna, the stormy Urbus, and the gentle mottle pattern of Ombra, all cut
into a statement Pennon design and supported by a 15-year commercial guarantee.
Hamish
added: “Karndean flooring can be intricately cut for a personalised design and
we’re thrilled with how the logo turned out. It’s little touches like this that
will make Tuxedo a place where people want to be seen – they’re attracting
customers from near and far and they are wide eyed when they see the attention
to detail that has gone into the décor. I’d highly recommend Karndean if you
want something special for your design scheme.”
Matthew
Speck, commercial sales director of Karndean Designflooring, said: “The wear
layer and durability of the flooring was also taken into consideration as
Tuxedo is open until the early hours of the morning on certain days of the
week, and the dancefloors get very busy every night. Inevitably there are going
to be accidental spills in a bar and club, so it’s a huge benefit for staff and
customers to have a floor that is easy to clean and doesn’t get sticky
underfoot.
“This
impressive underground venue is a project to be really proud of and we’re
thrilled to be a part of it. The interior is stunning and reflects the ambition
to give guests the very best nightclub experience.”
