EQUILIBRIUM™

              2002 Best of NeoCon Silver award
              2002 ICFF Most Innovative Product

Equilibrium still employs Interface's "less is more" philosophy but does so in a much softer, highly textured design.  It offers a more traditional aesthetic with all the benefits of modular, including high performance, flexibility, easy installation and easy repair.

TRANSFORMATION™

2002 Buildings Magazine Certificate of Merit

                              IIDEX / NeoCon Sustainable Design Gold award

Containing the least amount of the most appropriate raw materials, Transformation utilizes the concepts of biomimicry to maximize efficiency from design to production to installation without sacrificing the superior performance for which Interface products are known.  Transformation contains 100% solution dyed Solutia™ Ultron® ReNew in its face and is backed only with GlasBac RE, which contains a layer of 100% recycled material and is itself recyclable through Interface's ReEntry Carpet Reclamation program.  The total recycled content by weight is 52%.  The graphic pattern and scale of repeat, as well as the mixture of color in each tile, allow Transformation to be installed randomly, providing maximum flexibility, repairability and adaptability.

BEVELED FLOR-S™

              2002 ICFF Most Innovative Product

Because it is one of the most versatile and durable floorcoverings available, Flor-S has been a consistently best selling product for over three decades. The latest Flor-S styles offer a beveled edge to enhance the vibrant design element available through the various colorways of this unique and functional product.

FREQUENCY™

Frequency is unique among Interface’s random category products. With neither a strictly organic nor geometric appearance, it is more of a chameleon on the floor. Its brighter, upbeat colors and active patterning add warmth and energy to any interior space while also hiding the effects of soiling and wear. The random installation method provides maximum flexibility and faster installations with less waste.

INTERFERENCE™

Interference recreates the look of conventional European, cut pile, velour finishes with far less material (only 12 oz. yarn weight) and all the flexibility and functionality of tile. The plush, cut pile construction shows no visible looping or chunkiness, offering a strong look on the floor with a clean, architectural appearance that is softened by the tonal, muted coloring and pencil thin stripes.

FRICTION™ / VELOCITY™

Innovative design and excellent construction allow these two different products with contrasting textures to be created from one piece of material, delivering exceptional performance with minimum yarn weight. Velocity’s tufted, cut pile construction offers a velour like finish for a more executive look while Friction’s tufted loop construction offers superior performance in high traffic areas and against aggressive maintenance.

DECIBEL™

The “softest” modular product in Interface’s offering, Decibel negates the misconception that carpet tile is merely functional. The tone on tone coloring provides variation and contrast within the face while the tip-sheared fibers provide a plusher, richer feel than typical modular floorcoverings. Decibel’s smart design presents this “heavy” look with minimum yarn, resulting in a performance driven product with an executive finish.

GIST™

The cut-pile construction of Gist gives it the look and feel of finished velour while the bright and varied stripes of color create a warm environment, adding a sense of “relaxed” luxury to the floor. The pattern and coloring allow for a variety of installation possibilities alone or with Velluto™ so that Gist is appropriate for everything from the most “fashionable” interiors to more traditional spaces seeking renewed vitality.

ACCELERATION™ / PROPORTION™

Acceleration and Proportion are highly textured 50cm tiles that expand the notion of flexibility in design. Acceleration features a textured field with high and low loops that add depth while providing a very rich appearance. Proportion utilizes the same field texture as Acceleration but adds isolated geometric shapes that appear as a relief against the background of the tile. Together, they present a strong visual effect and emphasize the component aspect of modular floorcovering by creating a unique, sculptured “rug.”

THE PHILOSOPHY™ COLLECTION

The Philosophy Collection features a heavy, nubby texture in a tufted, textured loop construction that varies in pattern across three modular formats to provide a variety of installation possibilities and superior performance against traffic and aggressive maintenance. While the 50cm tile and 50cm x 1m plank formats provide texture along with the added benefit of allowing occupied replacement, the 2m x 2m modular rug is available in two set patterns and functions well as a focal or pivot point in addition to delineating access to certain areas within a facility.

VELLUTO™

Velluto is a solid, cut-pile product with a felt-like finish reminiscent of European velours. The beveled edge gives the illusion of extreme depth in a product that makes very efficient use of raw materials. In addition, the beveled edge creates a grid pattern across the floor, reinforcing the geometric design that is only achievable with the 50cm carpet tile.

THE FLORENTINE™ COLLECTION          2002 SOLUTIA™ DOC AWARD

                                IIDEX / NeoCon Carpet Modular Bronze award

The Florentine Collection's Plank products--Quadratto™, Paesaggio™ and Umbria™--combine the richness of color and design prevalent in Renaissance art with the innovation and versatility of modular flooring. With just six standard colors, the variations of light and color within the patterned products work together and with their 50cm companion product, Merano™, to offer a multitude of design possibilities for your floor.

SHANTUNG™

Inspired by coarse, silk yarn, Shantung has the textural beauty of a natural material and the elegance of a neutral color palette. The nubby surface is reminiscent of raw silk products and with its linear woven appearance, it offers a subtle, effective texture ideal for a variety of applications. Shantung is constructed of high recycled content DuPont® Antron Lumena® nylon and comes standard with Interface’s GlasBac® RE, which contains a layer of 100% recycled content material and is itself recyclable through Interface’s ReEntry Carpet Reclamation program. With GlasBac® RE backing, Shantung contains a total of 52% recycled content by weight.
