New iQ® Motion from Tarkett brings simple maintenance, timeless style to demanding environments

SOLON, Ohio, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tarkett, a world leader in innovative and sustainable flooring solutions, has expanded its iQ^® homogeneous flooring portfolio with the addition of iQ Motion. Inspired by the timeless character of terrazzo, iQ Motion's coordinated palette of 16 colors delivers depth and cohesion to today's most demanding environments, including hospitals, schools, airports and similar spaces that face nonstop movement.

"iQ Motion balances classic visuals with state-of-the-art performance, standing up to the realities of heavy foot traffic and constant rolling or critical equipment loads," said Michael Mathews, senior vice president of commercial strategy for Tarkett North America. "This collection proves that style, performance and responsible design can move forward together."

Designed for long-term resilience with cost-effective maintenance, Tarkett's iQ flooring promises no need for floor finish—ever. A simple dry buffing restores the surface to its original appearance. With Tarkett's iQ technology, spaces stay open and operational, without the downtime, labor or cost of refinishing.

"No floor finish required means that maintenance teams can work smarter and leaner, with fewer chemicals and better indoor air quality. For durable environments and lower lifetime costs, there's no smarter choice than Tarkett's iQ collections," Mathews said.

Like the rest of Tarkett's iQ portfolio, iQ Motion offers optimal hygiene and infection control. Its thermo-fused welding creates a monolithic surface, while highly flexible material forms integral cove base to prevent cracks where pathogens can hide.

Certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly^®, the collection is scientifically proven to reduce exposure to asthma and allergy triggers. It is also ortho-phthalate-free, FloorScore Certified and part of Tarkett's ReStart^® take-back and recycling program. iQ Motion is available in 6′6′′-wide rolls and three tile sizes.

All 16 colors—which include neutrals and calming earth tones—are also available in iQ Motion Acoustic, which reduces impact sound by 16 dB to support better outcomes for everyone in the space.
