PRODUCTS & SERVICES MODULYSS MAKES ITS MARKS IN
SUSTAINABILITY Well-known for great looking, off-beat carpet tiles that deliver excellent value and performance, fewer know that modulyss was also a pioneer adopter of ECONYL yarn and produces in excess of 500,000m2
of ECONYL carpet tiles every year.
For modulyss the long-running use of ECONYL yarn saw it achieve the milestone of its first Cradle to Cradle Certified Gold carpet tile in Grind, which was also the first to feature the company’s ecoBack, a PVC and bitumen-free backing made with 75% recycled content. In early 2021, modulyss now has 28 Cradle to Cradle Certified Gold carpet tiles.
With a further 99 products given Cradle to Cradle Certified Silver status and made with 100% ECONYL yarn, modulyss is quickly gaining reputation for carpet tiles that are a great option for designers working on projects with clear environmental commitments. Along with its Limit your Footprint programme, featuring the CO2
RE carbon offset
initiative that supports global climate projects, which can be used to make carpet tiles carbon neutral, Cradle to Cradle Certified options demonstrate the company’s commitment to creating more sustainable products.
In fact, it was the development of its in-house ecoBack that saw modulyss being able to reach one of the gold standards in environmental certification. The 75% recycled, PVC and bitumen free backing is also Cradle to Cradle Certified Gold, helping many of the company’s ECONYL equipped carpet tiles to make the grade as a sustainable option for today’s workplace interiors.
OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS WITH
TILEMASTER ADHESIVES When laying a screed outside, whether for a patio, a pool surround, or to put down an artificial lawn, the quality of the substrate is just as important as for an indoor installation. Tilemaster External Leveller was developed specifically to fill a gap in the market for a practical, easy-to-apply smoothing compound for external use. It is fast setting, free flowing and suitable for use in damp or even wet conditions, such as swimming pools or under an epoxy surface DPM at depths from 2mm to 50mm. It is suitable for use with tiles and artificial turf and can even be left as a wearing surface.
When fixing tiles to an external screed, it is important to make sure that there is full coverage between the tile and the substrate. Tilemaster Adhesives recommends the use of the Tilemaster Setaflex range. These flexible, polymer-modified adhesives are unaffected by frost after setting and can be used in areas exposed to water for long periods, so are perfect for outside use.
The range consists of three products: Standard Set Setaflex has an extended pot life of approximately three to four hours, meaning the fixer has plenty of time to install the tiles and manoeuvre them once in place, making it ideal where longer working times are required. There is a 24-hour wait before grouting and foot traffic. Where more speed is required, the

Rapid or Semi-Rapid set versions should be used. Tilemaster Setaflex Semi-Rapid has a pot life of 90-120 minutes and is ready for grouting after approximately six hours. Tilemaster Rapid Setaflex has a 30-minute pot life and is ready for grouting after approximately three hours.
Tilemaster Grout 3000 should be used to grout the tiles after waiting the appropriate amount of time for the adhesive to harden. It can be used for joints up to 20mm thick and is impervious to frost once it has set.

Katja De Laet, Marketing Manager, modulyss, said: “For many years, since we first developed a range with yarn featuring recycled content well over a decade ago, we’ve been focused on not only making our products stand out for individual and unique designs, but also as an option for interiors looking for carpet tiles that minimise impact.”
