Our Vision
INSPIRATION
An international specialist in luxury vinyl flooring for more than 30 years, Novalis Innovative Flooring designs flooring with style, quality and innovation in mind. Our team of talented designers takes cues from nature, architectural trends, high-fashion textiles and runways around the world to bring customers the most beautiful, versatile flooring in the industry.
INNOVATION
A family-owned and operated business, Novalis got its start in the 1980s when it became the first manufacturer to ship luxury vinyl flooring to the United States from China. Thanks to a history filled with revolutionary product innovation, Novalis flooring is now sold in over 50 countries across six continents in a variety of award-winning commercial spaces and homes. We continue to take pride in our ability to utilize cutting-edge technologies to deliver world-class products to our customers around the globe.
RESPONSIBILITY
As an industry leader, we take seriously our commitment to keeping people healthy and the earth habitable. Long before sustainability was a key focus in our industry, Novalis founder Dr. Z.L. Wu sought to create a durable, versatile flooring option and began the research and development of sustainable luxury vinyl tile. Today, environmental responsibility remains a cornerstone of our business.
