Interface CE100 Carpet Tiles

Interface CE100 carpet tiles represent a blend of modern design, high performance, and pioneering sustainability. These heavy contract carpet tiles are specifically engineered to withstand the rigours of busy commercial spaces, making them ideal for offices, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and retail environments. The tufted plain textured tip-sheared construction provides a subtle yet sophisticated finish that complements various interior design schemes. Available in a palette of colours, CE100 allows for creative freedom, enabling designers to create zones, pathways, or unique patterns within a space.

The durability of CE100 stems from its high-quality face fibre, made from 100% recycled solution-dyed nylon. This material is renowned for its resilience, stain resistance, and exceptional colour retention, ensuring the tiles maintain their appearance even with intensive use and regular cleaning. Solution dyeing means the colour permeates the entire fibre, preventing fading from sunlight or wear. Classified for Use Class 33 Heavy Commercial use and suitable for continuous castor chair use, these tiles are built to last in the most demanding settings.

A standout feature of the Interface CE100 range is its commitment to sustainability. The tiles boast an impressive total recycled content of 86.9%. Furthermore, they feature Interface’s CQuest™Bio backing. This innovative backing system incorporates carbon-negative materials, actively contributing to lowering the carbon footprint of your flooring project. Interface is a pioneer in developing carbon-negative carpet tiles, and the CE100 range exemplifies this dedication to environmental stewardship without compromising on performance or aesthetics. This makes CE100 an excellent choice for projects aiming for high environmental standards or certifications like BREEAM or LEED.

Practicality extends to installation and maintenance. As carpet tiles, CE100 offers flexibility in installation, allowing for easy replacement of individual tiles if damaged or stained, minimising disruption and waste. They are also suitable for installation over underfloor heating systems, adding to their versatility in modern commercial buildings. Regular vacuuming and periodic cleaning are typically sufficient to keep these tiles looking their best, contributing to lower maintenance costs over the flooring’s lifespan.
