In short: Ici et Maintenant, an audiovisual production studio in the Rhône region, wanted a floor that would match the quality of its set without having to shut down for more than a day. In July 2019, MOSAIK-FLOOR installed 200 m² of large-format ULTIMA XL PURE light gray PVC tiles, clicked directly onto an old, flaking resin floor, in a single day over the weekend by two installers.

The Initial Need

The Ici et Maintenant studio serves as a film set, workspace, and reception area all in one: black walls and curtains, a lounge area, a large table, editing stations, and a stock of video and audio equipment. The old resin floor was peeling, leaving marks on the footage, and no longer met the standards expected of an audiovisual production company. They needed a clean, uniform, and unobtrusive floor—and, above all, the project had to be completed in a single day, over the weekend, so as not to disrupt operations.

The Selected Solution

The ULTIMA XL tile, with its large 63.9 x 63.9 cm format and 4 mm thickness, minimizes the number of joints and creates a visually seamless floor, ideal for a film set where the floor is often visible on camera. In the PURE grade, the light gray color remains uniform across the entire surface. The tiles snap directly onto the existing resin—even if it’s chipped—without the need for adhesive or leveling compound: the 200 m² were installed in a single day by two installers, and the studio reopened on Monday.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Construction Project

Can PVC tiles be installed over a resin floor that is peeling?

Yes, using a click-together installation method: at Ici et Maintenant, the ULTIMA XL tiles were clicked directly onto the old, chipped resin floor, without any adhesive or surface preparation. Only an adhesive installation would require removing the resin.

How long does it take to install 200 m² of ULTIMA XL pavers?

A day with two installers: The work was completed in a single day over the weekend, since the studio was closed.

Why use a large-format tile for an audiovisual studio?

The 63.9 x 63.9 cm, 4 mm-thick ULTIMA XL tile creates a more seamless floor with fewer visible joints than a 50 x 50 cm tile, resulting in a more understated and neutral look—whether on a film set or in a reception area.

What grade of PVC should I use for a light gray color?

The PURE grade, made from new material, guarantees a uniform color across the entire surface, which is essential for a light color over 200 m².
