Balance through union

The Tessera Union carpet tiles collection encompasses three patterned ranges: the natural intersecting striated design of Accord, the soft hues of Harmony and the organic patterning of Infused, all of which complement other Tessera ranges for endless design possibilities. The 50 x 50 cm carpet tiles of the Accord, Harmony & Infused collection offer a textured loop construction for structure and pattern. Each range in the Union collection shares linking yarn colours, tones and usable design styles. The Union tiles can be used individually or in a combination of different colours and ranges to create balanced, calming and more productive workspace environments.

The concept of Union brings us together where individual elements find oneness and balance through their bond. Different characteristics remain but are stronger and more productive than the sum of its parts.

Creating beautiful combinations

Designed to work effortlessly within commercial interiors, each range within the Union collection is available in 12 colourways which blend easily with interior schemes as well as other ranges from the Tessera portfolio. The 3 Union carpet tile ranges share linking yarn colours, tones and usable design styles to maximise creative possibilities and offer flexibility within a scheme.

The 6 neutral colours in each Union range form a warm palette with linking elements to the Tessera Cloudscape, Inline and Layout collections. The 6 colour accents link tonally with the neutrals and offer new subtle highlights: perfect for introducing subtle interest and colour to workspaces.

Tessera carpet tiles can be combined with other Forbo products to create beautiful and practical flooring solutions for any environment.

The neutral colourways in the Infused, Accord and Harmony ranges share identical tones, allowing interesting pattern change, single tone, design schemes. Use them together with other complementary Tessera carpet tiles for increased flexible creativity.

Tessera & Allura

In areas where you need improved acoustics and comfort underfoot or where you want to highlight certain areas like a breakout room, you can play with Allura and Tessera. Use your imagination and design the ultimate office, leisure or hospitality project with these two flooring products.

Tessera carpet tiles can easily be installed in combination with Allura Flex vinyl planks and tiles: without the need for transition strips, additional profiles or inconvenient build-up of the sub-floor.

Advantages of carpet tiles

The flexible open office layouts of today’s modern offices are designed to accommodate frequent layout changes. A modular floor can be quickly modified to meet new requirements, reducing the cost of reorganisation. And where carpet tiles are in place, telephone, electrical and other underfloor systems will always be easily accessible to support these changes.

• Colour co-ordinated to ensure maximum design flexibility
• Increased installation speed
• Reduced installation wastage
• Damaged or soiled tiles can be replaced
• Wear rotation supports extended flooring lifespan
• Renovation with minimal disruption
• Compatibility with access systems

The pillars of our ambition

Transparency
Transparency is the foundation for making the right circular choices. With life cycle assessments as our constant guide in doing right, we continue to lead the industry towards new environmental standards. Our Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are third-party certified - that way we can ensure full transparency.

Circularity
True circularity is to go all the way around. We think circular in everything we do. We work on creating products that keep the end in mind – and do this throughout our design process and choice of materials.

Renewability
We want to be the trusted partner for fully circular flooring solutions made with renewable raw materials.

Many of the flooring systems and building materials used today have an impact on the planet. The right flooring can help lower emissions and reduce waste – that’s why we want to contribute with more sustainable solutions.

Highly durable and fit-for-purpose solutions

Leading in recycled content

By weight, our carpet tiles are among the carpet tiles with the highest recycled content in the industry. On average, the percentage of recycled content by weight is at least 57%. Some of our ranges, for example Create Space 1, even have a recycled content by weight of 75%.

We also manufacture random-lay/batchless tiles that reduce installation waste to less than 2%. Installing with random-lay tiles provides the option to replace parts of the floor with heavy wear without impacting the overall design.

We are also experimenting with end-of-life solutions, especially those that involve separating the tiles’ textile layer from their backing.

Sustainable manufacturing

• Ultrasonic tile cutting process reduces tile waste by 80% compared to traditional press cutting methods

Environmental Product Declarations

As part of our sustainability policy, most of our Tessera carpet tiles have an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). This declaration, which is transparent and third-party verified, is based on a technique which assess environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a product's life from raw material extraction through materials processing, manufacture, distribution, use, repair and maintenance, to ultimate disposal or recycling.

This technique takes all the following aspects into account: environmental impact of raw material acquisition, energy use and efficiency, content of materials and chemical substances, emissions to air, soil and water and waste generation.
