AN INDUSTRY FIRST COLLABORATION FROM INTERFACE


AND AQUAFIL Global modular flooring manufacturer, Interface, has launched its new collection, Touch of Timber- a hybrid textile floor which resembles timber.


Co-developed with yarn supplier Aquafil, the product is a first for the carpet tile industry and showcases the benefits of advanced contrast and colour twist technologies, combined with Interface Microtuft yarn construction.


Developed over an 18-month period, Touch of Timber delivers a wooden floor in appearance, with all the benefits of a low-impact carpet tile.


The collection is made with 100% recycled yarn as standard and is one of the first to feature Interface’s recycled PVB precoat, which has a carbon footprint that is 80% less than traditional SBR latex precoat. The


new range also comes with biobased formaldehyde-free glass fleece as standard in the backing.


Mandy Leeming, Design and Development Manager for Interface EMEA, explained: “Touch of Timber is a first for Interface, Aquafil and the carpet tile industry. Customers want the look of a natural floor, but the hard materials used are not a practical solution for many commercial spaces given the transfer of noise. This is the perfect solution, offering a distinctive aesthetic, great underfoot comfort, slip-resistance and acoustic benefits.”


Touch of Timber is available in 25cm x 100cm skinny planks, allowing for easy installation, and 12 colourways.


Luca Bertamini, Head of Customer Technical Service at Aqualfil, added: “By merging Aquafil's technical ingenuity and expertise with Interface’s creativity, we have developed a product unlike any other in the industry."
