Who says air pollution can only happen outside?

Little did everyone know that carpet installations can cause significant effects in the quality of air indoors. Regular carpets, when installed can emit Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which can cause health hazards.

In order to improve the quality of air, InterfaceFLOR, one of the leading market players in the Australian flooring industry introduced a promising innovation in carpet installation systems, TacTiles. TacTiles has finally arrived after three long years of development and 90 test sites throughout North America and Canada.

TacTiles is not just any ordinary product. TacTiles eliminates the use of glue in bonding modular carpets together. This product is intended to reduce the environmental impact of carpet installations by 90%. This is in accordance with the company’s vision of eliminating its negative impact on the environment by 2020.

Clinton Squires, InterfaceFLOR’s Australian General Manager said, “Traditional carpet glues emit VOCs which vaporise and enter the atmosphere, contributing to indoor air pollution, so this new system is an environmental breakthrough.

TacTiles also promotes the “floating floor” system which allows flooring professionals to easily remove and recycle carpet tiles without ever leaving any damage to the floor beneath. Definitely, with these fantastic features, TacTiles will work best on all types of flooring material, even the delicate ones.

This product has gained a lot of popularity in the flooring industry due to its very promising features. “We’re expecting a lot of interest in TacTiles from design professionals. As a whole, there is a great commitment by the industry to become more environmentally responsible,” Mr Squires said.
