BOWA Medical UK Headquarters, Kingskerswell — A Commercial Flooring Case Study, Devon
This commercial flooring case study from Devon showcases the work Flooring Matters delivered for BOWA Medical UK’s brand-new headquarters at Kingskerswell — a project since named Project of the Year (Under £10m) at the 2026 Michelmores Property Awards.
The state-of-the-art facility brings together manufacturing, R&D and a surgical skills training lab under one roof, and our scope reflected that mix of demanding, high-spec environments:
- Interface carpet tiles (Freestyle range, Slate) throughout the main working areas
- IVC Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) Modulo Roots 55, in the skills lab and dining areas
- IVC LVT banquette seating areas, finished in Studio Moods 55, for a warmer, more textured feel in the breakout space
- CX dissipative carpet tiles, specified for areas requiring static control
- Full raised access floor preparation, including levelling thousands of screw indentations and fitting Xtraflor FlexPro underlay, to guarantee a smooth, long-lasting finish over the access panels
- Coloured mastic detailing to all IVC LVT perimeters for a clean, professional edge
A closer look at the finished project
The Interface carpet tiles run consistently throughout the building’s office space and glazed meeting rooms (pictured), giving a calm, neutral backdrop against the bold orange feature walls, while the striking geometric flooring and curved banquette seating in the dining area set the tone for a building designed to impress staff, clients and visiting surgeons alike.
Working alongside RevisonR, Devon Contractors and Pinnacle Architectural Design & Project Management, on a project delivered for BOWA Medical UK.

Flooring matters and the whole team have been brilliant. From the moment myself & husband walked into the shop to pick the flooring out with Neil to when the guys came and did all prep work and laid the flooring has been excellent. The guys who did the flooring were absolutely brilliant! They took their time and prepped the flooring amazingly and didn’t realise the amount of prep work there was to do but wow the outcome is beautiful! It’s changed the whole downstairs of my home. Also my puppy and 4 year old kept annoying the guys but they didn’t seem to mind and loved having the attention 🤣

Had the herringbone tiles fitted in our lounge last year and returned again recently to have our bedroom done the same. Neil and the boys have done a fabulous job as usual and we are not disappointed. We would recommend Flooring Matters to anyone as they are fast, friendly and efficient and clean.

We needed flooring for our new property & had been messed around by another company. We searched on Trust Pilot and Flooring Matters of Heathfield, Newton Abbot came up as being good. We went to visit their easily accessible shop at Heathfield where Neil talked us through the different vinyls & then visited our property within three days to measure it up. Their price was very competitive & they booked us in for the floor to be laid within three weeks. Iain, who laid the floor, was easy to get on with & a quick worker. Flooring Matters made the whole experience so easy and we would recommend them to anyone who wants new flooring,

Very prompt response to my enquiry leading to a personal visit by a Director to view my project which was non-industrial. I was impressed by Andy's interest in my small project to clad the internal walls of my garage with Altro. I had had previous experience of Altro when involved in projects in the pharmaceutical industry, and felt it would be ideal to present a bright, clean, easily maintained wall surface to convert my single garage into a smart, neat, attractive restoration studio and workshop. The final result from Andy's team was outstanding and has more than met my expectations. The installers were polite and experienced and tackled the occasional difficulty such as my domestic power supply being underpowered for their forming machine. This was effectively dealt with in a friendly and positive manner and was successful. Thank you team. When I finally have other trades complete the works, I will happily supply photographs of the finished work.

We've used Flooring Matters on a variety of projects over the last few years and we've always been delighted with the results.
Whether it's commercial or residential... carpet, vinyl, timber or floor sanding... the workmanship and collaboration is always excellent.
Charles and the team excel with their technical product knowledge and their approach to floor preparation, which really sets them apart! We'd have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

The work was carried by very helpful employees, and kept me up to date on the course they would take each day. They did an excellent job and would have no hesitation in using Flooring Matters again. I have had many complements from my friends when they saw my new floor

Negotiated a great deal with my team fitting the floors. Our entire bungalow now has this gorgeous flooring. We have a few rugs but mostly just like to see the grain effect. It's been great with the animals too.
Neil also gave me advice on what glue and trowels to use. Excellent customer service despite knowing he wasn't going to fit.

Citizens Advice Torbay (CAT) is a local independent charity. We celebrate 85 years of serving our community this year and we decided to mark this anniversary by refurbishing our very tired premises in Paignton. Flooring Matters responded to our plea for help and provided new floor covering throughout our offices. It has given our Citizens Advice Centre a new lease of life and the different colours and patterns used in each room are fresh and vibrant. Led by Maisie Williams, Social Housing Project Manager and her team the work was wholly completed with commercial off cuts and unused flooring tiles. Not only does this contribute to their sustainability objectives but delivers a community project that will change the working experience for our volunteers and provide a warm welcome for our clients. Thank you Flooring Matters.

We recently had Flooring Matters lay new ULT flooring for us following the removal of some internal walls in our house. From start to finish the responsiveness, attention to detail and the level of professionalism was exceptional. Our job was a bit difficult requiring a "matching up" of the new flooring and an existing carpet. The installers Sturt & Tory were incredible reflecting those same attributes as Flooring Matters. We did a competitive tendering process and although Flooring Matters were more expensive it was well worth paying that little bit extra to get the outcome we have. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Flooring Matters if you have a ULT flooring requirement.
