Tarkett to Scale Back Tarkett Home Product Offering

Solon, OH, November 13, 2026–After careful analysis and consideration, Tarkett is announcing that it will scale back its Tarkett Home product offering to focus primarily on residential carpet and hard surface products for its core distributors.

Says the company, “This decision is the result of rising material costs and volatile energy prices, combined with low home sales and renovation activity, which has put significant pressure on our residential business.

“This decision is specific to Tarkett Home and does not impact our commercial or hospitality businesses, which remain the core of Tarkett North America.

“We appreciate the support of our customers over the years, and we are confident in our plans for profitable growth.”

Tarkett added residential carpet to its portfolio through its 2018 acquisition of Lexmark Carpet Mills. The deal also expanded Tarkett’s presence in hospitality, which accounted for most of Lexmark’s business.

In 2021, the company renamed its North American residential division Tarkett Home. The division’s lineup includes carpet, hardwood, luxury vinyl tile and plank, laminate and sheet vinyl.

Back in the early 2000s, Tarkett was a dominant residential hard surface producer, and in 2005, it pioneered the manufacture of glass-backed sheet vinyl in the North American market. 

But as the residential sheet market continued to diminish, and as Tarkett’s residential manufacturing contracted with the sale of Harris Wood and its laminate joint venture, Tarkett grew hugely on the commercial side with its acquisitions of Centiva and Tandus. The acquisition of Lexmark enhanced Tarkett’s residential profile, driving the retooling and rebranding of its residential business.
