Gerflex flooring price in Abidjan

Gerflex flooring costs 14,500 FCFA per square metre in Abidjan, fitting included, when it is supplied and installed for an exhibition stand or an event space. The price is published online, with no quote to request. That is the number most people are searching for, and almost nobody in the country publishes it openly.

You are preparing a stand, a showroom or a reception area, and you are weighing gerflex against carpet. This article gives you the real prices per m², the finishes available, the delivery terms in Abidjan and the lead times to plan for. You will know what to order, at what price, and how quickly you can get it.

How much does gerflex cost in Abidjan?

The price of gerflex in Abidjan depends on two things: the finish you choose, and whether fitting is included. At resellers in Treichville or Marcory, you buy a roll of PVC flooring and handle the cutting yourself. With event rental, the rate covers supply, cut to size, installation and removal.

Here is the grid applied on the mobilier.africa catalogue, in FCFA excluding tax:

In practice, that works out as:

• 9 m² stand: 130,500 FCFA in gerflex, 85,500 FCFA in carpet
• 18 m² stand: 261,000 FCFA in gerflex, 171,000 FCFA in carpet
• 36 m² stand: 522,000 FCFA in gerflex, 342,000 FCFA in carpet

The 5,000 FCFA gap per m² reflects positioning. Gerflex delivers a premium finish and wipes clean with water, while carpet remains the most economical way to cover a surface. Volume discounts apply automatically at checkout: 5% from 200,000 FCFA, 8% from 500,000 FCFA, 12% from 1,000,000 FCFA. Minimum order value is 75,000 FCFA excluding tax, across all categories.

For larger surfaces, always compare two scenarios: gerflex across the whole footprint, or gerflex on the reception zone only with carpet everywhere else. That mix often saves 20 to 30% on the flooring line without losing visual impact.

Where can you buy gerflex in Abidjan?

Three supply routes exist on the Ivorian market, and they serve very different needs.

Resellers and home decor shops. Treichville, Marcory and Yopougon concentrate the importers of PVC flooring and carpet. You buy by the roll, usually in several colours, at a good price point. Fitting is on you, though, and stock levels swing significantly from one week to the next.

Hardware and building material stores. They stock gerflex alongside tiles, aimed mainly at residential renovation. Useful for an office or a home, less suited to a stand build you dismantle within 48 hours.

Event fit-out platforms. This is where mobilier.africa sits, listing flooring in a dedicated category next to chairs, counters and screens. The benefit: you see real availability, the price is published, and the crews handle installation and removal. You can build your entire stand from a single cart by browsing the full stand furniture and equipment catalogue.

If your need goes beyond flooring and covers the structure itself, look at the modular stand priced per m² and the printed PVC wall panels, which can be ordered together.

What types of gerflex are available?

The word "gerflex" comes from a flooring brand and has become the generic term in Côte d'Ivoire for vinyl flooring, sold in sheets or tiles. The families you will find in Abidjan:

• Wood effect or parquet imitation. The most requested finish in events. It warms up a stand, sets off white furniture and reads as premium instantly.
• Stone, marble or polished concrete effect. A mineral look, widely used by tech, banking and industrial exhibitors.
• Cement tile effect. Decorative, well suited to lifestyle corners, food service and cosmetics.
• Plain solid colours. Often chosen to match a brand palette exactly.

On the mobilier.africa catalogue, the version held in permanent stock is wood-effect gerflex with fitting per m². For colour-led brand identities, the carpet range covers the rest: grey carpet for a neutral modern base, black carpet for darker scenography, or red carpet for reception areas and welcome runners.

One practical tip: avoid very light finishes if your stand sits near an entrance at the Abidjan Exhibition Centre. Dust and footfall start to show by the end of day one.

How do you install gerflex?

Laying gerflex is straightforward, but it is won or lost on preparation. Here is the method used on stand builds:

1. Clean and check the subfloor. An exhibition hall floor is rarely perfect. A single piece of grit will show as a ridge under the sheet.
2. Measure the actual surface. Always allow 5 to 10% extra for cuts and corners.
3. Let the material relax. Rolled out flat for one or two hours, it loses its roll memory and lays without bubbles.
4. Cut along the walls with a blade, leaving a slight overlap you trim back afterwards.
5. Fix with stage-grade double-sided tape, around the perimeter and at every seam.
6. Finish the thresholds and edges. That is the detail a visitor notices as they step on.

In reality, few exhibitors have the time or the tools for this the night before a show. Fitting is included in the published price on mobilier.africa: the crews come on site, lay the floor, then return to strip it out after the event. Nothing to store, nothing to dispose of.

Is delivery free for gerflex?

Yes, within Abidjan. Delivery, installation and removal are included in the price per m², with no surcharge added at checkout. That changes the real comparison, because with a standard reseller you still have to add transport, handling and a fitter.

Three things to know before ordering:

• Express delivery is possible up to 4 hours before your event, for genuine last-minute cases.
• Minimum order value of 75,000 FCFA excluding tax, which you make up freely from the catalogue.
• Minimum quantity of 6 m² on flooring, matching the smallest standard stand size.

Payment is a deposit at order, then the balance on delivery, via Orange Money, Wave or bank transfer. Full terms are set out in the service FAQ.

What are the advantages of gerflex?

Gerflex has taken over Ivorian stands for very concrete reasons:

• It handles heavy footfall. A three-day show means thousands of steps across a few square metres.
• It cleans with soapy water. A coffee spill at the end of the day wipes off, which is not the case on light carpet.
• The surface is waterproof. Useful when you serve drinks or display plants.
• It goes down and comes up fast. No permanent adhesive, no damage to the hall floor.
• It changes how the stand is read. A well finished floor signals professionalism before a visitor has read a single word of your message.

The trade-off worth knowing: gerflex is harder underfoot than carpet. If your team stands for three days, plan at least one comfortable seating zone with armchairs or a reception sofa.

What quality of gerflex should you expect?

Not all grades are equal, and that is where price gaps come from. What to check before ordering:

• Total thickness and wear layer. The thicker the wear layer, the better the floor takes trolleys, heels and heavy furniture.
• Dimensional stability. A low-grade product shrinks or buckles in heat, a real issue in halls with intermittent air conditioning.
• Print quality of the decor. A convincing wood effect has a non-repeating pattern over at least one linear metre.
• Usage classification. For a space open to the public, choose a product rated for commercial rather than residential use.

On the mobilier.africa fleet, gerflex is selected for intensive event use and checked between each event. Product images remain indicative: the delivered finish can show slight variations in appearance, as with any sheet production.
