MODULAR FLOORING
in the most demanding, high-traffic environments. With a high recycled content (of up to 76%) and manufactured in a factory running off of 100% renewable energy (electricity and biogas), the collection also has strong sustainability credentials. In addition to this, they offer versatility in the ways in which they can be installed, being compatible with IOBAC’s range of Tab-Its and MagTabs, enabling adhesive free installs and promoting circularity – one of Forbo’s core sustainability principles.
˝Using Tab-Its allows the flooring to be easily recycled as there’s no adhesive residue.˝
Helen continued: “Forbo’s Tessera carpet tiles being compatible with IOBAC Tab-Its was particularly beneficial for us, as we want to look to reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill, preferring to recycle as much as we possibly can. The ability for each tile to be individually uplifted for replacement was particularly attractive to us too, as scuff marks or damage can be quite common, especially in the high-traffic areas of the offices.”
“So far, the refurbishments have gone very well, any issues have been quickly and easily resolved, and most tenants aren’t even aware the carpet tiles have been installed any differently. The absence of adhesive also means there are no lingering odours after installation. The Tessera carpet tiles look really professional in the space and can stand up to the wear and tear expected within the office space. The benefits of opting for an adhesive-free installation will continue to be felt further down the line too, facilitating quicker refurbishments in the future and a more sustainable process, providing immense long-term benefits to ourselves and the council.”
All of Forbo’s Tessera carpet tiles can be installed using IOBAC products, both Tab-Its and MagTabs, allowing them to be fitted over metal raised access flooring or typical subfloors. This means that further down the line the flooring can be easily uplifted and recycled or reused through Forbo’s partnership with the Salvation Army’s ‘Take Back’ scheme.
Once installed, the carpet tiles are then maintained using the M2 Fusion Care system. Fusion Care operates with 95% less water than the normal system of cleaning, produces no waste product, uses non-hazardous and biodegradable cleaning solutions – further supporting the sustainability of both LCDL and Forbo.
