Belgian carpet manufacturer Lano Flooring Solutions has supplied the prestigious Renaissance Club in Scotland with over 2900m2 of bespoke carpet, fitted throughout the interior of the newly built, world-class golf clubhouse, as well as throughout the luxury apartments offering on-site accommodation.As one the finest sports facilities in Scotland, the Renaissance Club in Berwick nestles in a beautiful, unspoilt landscape encompassing an elite 18-hole golf course over rolling hills, woodland and plains, accompanied by spectacular coastal views of Fidra Island and out to the North Sea. To provide a fitting welcome to its esteemed members including international professionals and European Tour winners, no expense was spared in the build of the Renaissance Club’s prestigious £9.2million clubhouse. Jordan Whyte of the Renaissance Club explains:

“For the new clubhouse, only interior fittings and fixtures of the highest quality would do, and so suppliers were sought from around the world to match the discerning expectations of our members and investors.”

The club approached the team at Lano Flooring Solutions to produce luxurious carpets that would create a smart and welcoming ambience to unite the lounges, bars and dining rooms, pro shop and locker rooms of the main club, as well as the bedrooms and corridors of the new accommodation block. The brief included three bespoke designs, including a rather special creation dedicated entirely to the heritage of Scottish tartan.

Looking for a unique look for its interiors, the Renaissance Club approached one of Scotland’s finest kilt and highland dress specialists to commission a bespoke tartan for the club. This exclusive design was passed to Lano Flooring Solutions, bringing the smart blue pattern checked with green and yellow stripes to life in a vividly coloured woven carpet. To compliment the tartan, Lano also designed a co-ordinated bespoke carpet inspired by the Scottish thistle in an elegant grey and cream outlined with a royal blue border.

For a calming look in the plush accommodation suites of the Club, the Lano Flooring Solutions design team created an elegant floral pattern featuring woodland shades of cream and rich gold, brown and green. With all carpets woven in a high quality 11-row axminster construction, Lano has brought highly durable, hard wearing style to the floors of the Renaissance club that crucially is easy to maintain.

Jordan Whyte continues:

“The new carpets had to be straightforward to maintain, given at various times we are just as likely to welcome in golfers with muddied shoes during the day as guests in cocktail dress for evening events. Everyone is extremely pleased with both the appearance and performance of the new carpets as well as the service received from Lano Flooring Solutions, which has entirely satisfied the our ethos of the maintaining the very highest standards possible.”
