The combined functional and environmental performance of the revolutionary EcoSoft® tile backing system deserves special mention. It marks a significant new era in the development of high-performance carpet tiles, and demonstrates unmatched characteristics compared to conventional hard-backed modular systems. The EcoSoft® tile backing system is produced by Carpets Inter and features an extensive list of benefits:
- Improved underfoot comfort, as well as superior acoustic qualities and sound absorption.
- Superior dimensional stability and improved resistance to pile crushing – virtually nil tile deflection at joins and no trip hazards.
- Engineered to absorb destructive impact from high foot traffic helping to reduce fibre crush, indentation of furniture and castor wheel damage.
- Reduced VOCs – complies with Indoor Air Quality requirements as prescribed by the Carpet Institute of Australia (ECS) and the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) in the US.
- Increased insulation qualities – up to 150% more thermally efficient than comparable hard-backed tile systems.
- Significant environmental credentials – manufactured by Carpets Inter, the EcoSoft® backing system is made from a combination of 80% post-consumer recycled PET and 5-10% post industrial recycled PET … all sourced from from discarded drink bottles.
- Produced at a facility which has an environmental management system (EMS) independently certified to ISO14001.
- EcoSoft® is fully integrated OEM backing; and not an after-market product.
- Less carrying weight per tile compared to hard-backed tile systems.
- Installation – depending on the design, EcoSoft® backed tiles can be installed in a monolithic (broadloom) type installation. The range of installation methods is therefore not restricted to quarter turn or ashlar.
- Extensive warranty period – 15 year including castor chair impacts
