Flooring for a High-Traffic Community Facility for the City of Arlington

The Southeast Tarrant County Arlington Human Service Center plays a critical role in supporting the local community. However, their flooring was no longer up to the task—with aging carpet and a mix of four different ceramic tiles left the space looking worn, disjointed, and loud under foot. The City of Arlington sought a comprehensive flooring solution that could endure heavy use, reduce noise, and elevate the center’s professional appearance.

The Challenge

With a vast amount of community members passing through each month, the Human Service Center’s flooring was subject to extreme wear. The existing materials—worn carpet and mismatched tile—created a noisy environment and an inconsistent, outdated appearance. The city needed a quiet, durable, and cohesive flooring solution to match the professionalism of the services provided.

Our Solution

Jenkins Contract Flooring partnered with Tarkett and the City of Arlington to install Even Plane luxury vinyl tile in Minimal Wood DARK GREY. This high-performance product was engineered for commercial use and exceeded both aesthetic and functional requirements.

Why It Was Chosen:

  • Durability: 4.5mm thick with a 31.5-mil wear layer for long-term performance

  • Noise Reduction: 19dB impact sound reduction exceeds code by 30%+

  • Seamless Design: Transitions directly to carpet tile with no reducer strips

  • Low Maintenance: Techtonic® protective finish resists scuffs, scratches, and stains

  • Modern Aesthetic: Clean, wood-look design creates a warm, professional feel

Execution & Prep

  • Removed outdated carpet, carpet base, and ceramic tile

  • Prepped subfloors for optimal vinyl tile installation

  • Installed Tarkett Even Plane throughout key community spaces

  • Delivered a cohesive, and professional result without disrupting daily operations

The Outcome

The Human Service Center now features a quieter, more unified, and inviting interior that better supports its essential role in the community. The upgraded flooring not only improves daily function but also reflects the care and professionalism of the services provided.

“We’re honored to help enhance this essential community space with flooring that truly supports both its daily operations and long-term mission.”

Who This Is For

Municipal buildings, nonprofits, or community service centers needing durable, low-maintenance flooring that improves both acoustics and aesthetics in high-traffic environments.
