The Transition To a Flooring Wonder

What started as a cramped flooring shop in Johannesburg some 35 years ago has become a giant flooring distributor servicing clients throughout Southern Africa and the rest of the world.

The Thokan Family's initiative over a quarter of a century ago has culminated in one of the greatest and most prolific success stories in the country's history.

Today the WONDER FLOORING GROUP is an entirely B.E.E. compliant operation solely run by H.D.I.'s (Historically Disadvantaged Individuals) with over a Century of flooring distribution experience between them. A company that boasts a myriad of flooring products, staggering both in volume and variety. On offer are superb oriental and mod rugs imported from all over the world, broadloom carpeting in both domestic and contract qualities, the Armstrong range of vinyl floor tiles, PVC sheeting and Linoleum to fit all specifications, and the house brand WONSTEP which encompasses products across the entire flooring spectrum including wood laminate flooring.

The Group has carved a niche for itself in the industry as a trend-setter and a one-stop shop for flooring options.

With the Wonder Flooring Organisation operating with impressive success, the market is all the more enriched.

Commercial Floorings

In the area of contract flooring, the Group is fortunate enough to be able to draw from an almost unlimited spectrum of impressive ranges. One such option is Armstrong contract vinyl tiles, sheeting and linoleum.
A multitude of high profile contract installations with Armstrong specified have been successfully carried out across the continent. These include the Mossal project in Mozambique, Standard Bank branches nationwide, Edgars and Totalsports outlets, C-Max prison, Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Coronation Hospital, Thembisa Hospital, Eugene Marais Private Clinic, Roseacres Clinic, and The GDE Poverty Alleviation Projects to name but a few.
 
Another coup for the company is the acquisition of Flotex textile commercial floorcovering and the Coral range of walk-off systems both now exclusively distributed by Wonder Flooring. Flotex is the solution for high traffic floors where a soft floorcovering is required that is completely waterproof and durable. The product is stain resistant and comes with a 10 year wear guarantee. In its early re-introduction to the South African market, Flotex broadloom and tiles have already been specified for prestigious installations such as Netcare, Johannesburg International Airport, Kimberley Legislature and University of Witwatersrand.

The Coral range of walk-off systems is the ideal choice for brushing off dirt and moisture caused by walked-in soiling. The unique construction of Coral products stop walked-in dirt and moisture, reduce dust, keep other floorcoverings clean and reduce wear. It graces such prestigious projects such as Randridge Mall, The V & A Waterfront and The Clear Waters Mall among others.
