IKEA, Tampines, Singapore
Project Overview
IKEA Tampines is a large-format home furnishings retail store in Singapore, where wall finishes within the store environment needed to be durable and presentable under heavy daily shopper traffic. A big-box store sees relentless contact across long wall runs, so the specification prioritised resilience and easy upkeep as much as appearance.
Goodrich Global supplied BN wallcovering for the project, providing wall finishes suited to a busy retail setting.
Goodrich Specification
The BN wallcovering specified here is a commercial-grade vinyl surface well matched to a high-traffic store. In a retail environment where walls meet constant footfall, trolleys, flat-pack handling and shopper contact, a robust wallcovering resists scuffing and impact marking and holds its appearance far better than paint, which would scar quickly and need frequent touching up across extensive surfaces.
Its wipeable surface allows quick cleaning to keep the store presentable through long trading hours, with marks removed rather than painted over. The consistent colour and texture support a tidy, branded backdrop across the large wall areas typical of a big-box retail floor, and that uniformity helps the space read as ordered and well-maintained even at peak periods when staff time for upkeep is limited and the store is at its busiest. A calm, even backdrop also lets the products and signage stand out clearly, supporting the way shoppers navigate the store.
Project Outcome
The wallcovering helps keep IKEA Tampines looking clean and well-maintained under intensive retail use, supporting the store’s presentation across busy trading periods and reducing the burden of frequent redecoration. Goodrich Global supplies wallcoverings to large-format and high-traffic retail environments across Singapore, matching durability and cleanability to the demands of busy stores.
