De Gruchy

Description

As one of the oldest department store retailers in the UK and Channel Islands, de Gruchy enjoys a reputation that stretches far beyond their landmark building in Saint Helier, Jersey. Solus were delighted to work with retail and leisure industry experts Caulder Moore to supply flooring tiles to a recent refurbishment of the store.

Tiles Used

600x600mm tiles from the Tierra range were used in this project.

Outcome

Caulder Moore designed a new shopping experience for the department store that embraces the motto of the brand – ‘forever inspired’. The vision for the project was to capture the style, surprise, individuality and confidence of the brand in an aspirational shopping experience. The new retail environment is split over two floors totalling 54,000 sq ft. An additional 20,000 sq ft of retail space is also being constructed to the side of the store and launched in 2017.

Solus worked with Caulder Moore by supplying flooring tiles to the main shopping areas. The team selected dazzling white tiles from the Tierra range in a 600x600mm size and a natural finish.

A practical, full-bodied porcelain product, the Tierra range is ideally suited to high traffic commercial areas, fusing fantastic aesthetic style and slip resistance. The tiles possess a smooth surface, with a subtly dappled finish. Each shade showcases slight variation with light tonal flourishes that add individual movement to each piece. The largest retail outlet in the Channel Islands, de Gruchy is set to enjoy the next 200 years of success with this beautifully refurbished store.
