Signature Floors Care Plus - A New Benchmark for Carpet in High Risk Environments


A New Benchmark for Carpet in High Risk Environments.
The combination of great design and clever innovation comes together to create Care+ carpet.

Wherever hygiene is vital, Care+ carpet from Signature Floors offers extraordinary benefits that go well beyond what is currently available. With an impervious vinyl back moisture barrier, a Care+ carpet actively protects floors from the spread of infection. Urine penetrates traditional carpets, seeping through to the floor substrate. Bacteria is trapped between the carpet and floor substrate out of reach of cleaners, these can cause the proliferation of germs, secondary infections and odours. With Care+ carpet, fluids sit on the same level as the Antron® soil and stain resistant fibre, and cannot penetrate the impervious vinyl backing. Care+ carpet is also bleach resistant and more easily cleaned, reducing the potential for infection and odours.

To ensure the same moisture proof benefits for the entire floor, Care+ carpet is chemically welded together ‘carpet to carpet’ and ‘carpet to vinyl’, creating a totally impervious floor covering from wall to wall. Care+ carpet weld-join technology does away with transition strips between carpets and vinyls, reducing the risk of bacteria build up and reducing the instance of pedestrian trips and falls.

Care+ carpet is designed to enhance people’s experience and wellbeing in a medical or care environment. Offering reduced roller resistance, Care+ carpet is particularly valued in high risk, aged care and special accommodation environments. Care+ carpet can also be used in active environments such as gyms, recreation centres, child care facilities, schools and libraries which will benefit from a higher standard of floor hygiene and require much less maintenance.

The Care+ carpet collection consists of 5 designs with up to 45 colours that mix and match and co-ordinate with Signature Floor vinyl products to give interior designers total freedom to concept their own installations, combining aesthetics with the ultimate product performance.
Care+ carpet offers green credentials - ISO 14001 accreditation for sustainability and an “End of Life Product Stewardship.” Fire rated for all areas BCA C1.10a, sound absorbent and glare reducing, Care+ carpet comes with a 15 year limited warranty.
