FLOORWISE RUBBER CRUMB UNDERLAY CRUNCHES THE


COMPETITION With Endura and Optima, floorwise has swept-up rubber crumb underlay, providing commercial locations with lasting durability and impressive performance.


Featuring floorwise’s proprietary UHD+ density, Optima (8mm) and Endura (6.75mm) provide unmatched recovery rates thanks to the very best in materials and construction, promising supreme all-round performance. Helping to combat noise, offering better underfoot comfort, creating warmer rooms and prolonging carpet life, these underlays make perfect sense in a range of commercial environments.


Meeting all relevant BS standards, Endura and Optima are stretch and double-stick compatible, with the


latter particularly suitable for large commercial and corporate spaces.


Richard Bailey, Managing Director, floorwise, said: “Our Optima underlay is not only incredibly tough, but it helps to reduce sound by 31dB too making it a great choice in multi-use hospitality areas such as those in stadiums, conference centres and hotels.


“In fact, any public or private space that demands first-class performance and underfoot luxury from carpet would be wise to opt for Optima.”


Endura offers a solution that’s ideal for use when the situation isn’t quite so demanding, but with a Heavy Contract Use rating it is still great for environments wanting a newly- installed carpet to provide maximum return. Made from recycled car tyres, rubber crumb underlays offer the best in contract performance and floorwise has developed a unique composition that gives more performance per pound, ensuring that Endura and Optima are the ultimate in performance underlays.


A favourite among specifiers and installers around the country, Endura and Optima are available through floorwise trade counters right across the UK and Ireland.

Increased carpet life, appearance-retention and greater dimensional stability are just some of its advantages.


Durafit is considered by many carpet manufacturers and contractors as the leading contract flooring underlay system. It has been fully proven, with sales to date of over 24 million square metres.


Interfloor CEO, John Cooper, said: "The trend for bolder carpet designs, incorporating patterns and texture, in hospitality flooring means that underlay systems need robust performance standards. We have improved Durafit's already superior performance, made it even easier to install, and given the brand a refresh to reflect its world-class reputation and to highlight its green credentials.”


Both Duralay Durafit 500 and Duralay Durafit 650 have high- density rubber crumb content, conform to BS 5808: 1991 and US standards, and deliver all-round performance in even the toughest commercial environments.


INTERFLOOR’S UNDERLAY FITS THE


BILL FOR DURABILITY Interfloor has improved its Duralay Durafit System so that it gives greater dimensional stability. This is due to its exclusive Bacloc backing and higher bonding achieved with a range of new Durafit double-stick adhesives.


The Duralay Durafit System is British-engineered and manufactured to the highest standards using only top- quality rubber crumb. It is a trusted underlay system for heavy-wear areas such as hotel receptions and corridors, airports and offices. For over 30 years it's been used for prestigious carpet installations worldwide.

Carpets installed with the Durafit System look and feel better underfoot for longer. This is thanks to its better than 90% recovery under dynamic and static loading, and its high rubber content which results in excellent heat and sound insulation.


It is rated for Extra Heavy Commercial Use and is suitable for wheeled traffic areas, making it the perfect choice for hospitality and entertainment venues.


Durafit's green credentials make it the preferred option for specifiers and developers keen to gain LEED/BREEAM accreditation for new-build projects. The underlay is 100% recyclable at the end of its life, and contains not less than 65% recycled content.
