Carpets Inter EcoSoft® is responsible for recycling over 700 million PET bottles, reducing the effects of pollution on our planet.

8 MILLION METRIC TONS OF PLASTIC ENTERS THE OCEAN FROM THE LAND EACH YEAR

EcoSoft® marks a new era in the development of high-performance and environmentally friendly carpet tile cushion backing. Natural spring water may but the bottles themselves threaten our environment by swall<^4igJandJi^^a5e^^^*dfQSsfh^^^ ai r- po11 u t reS||gPftc;i volumes of plastic waste continue to flow into our oceans every second! EcoSoft®, our established high performance carpet cushion backing, is made from 80% post-consumer material reengineered from discarded drinking water bottles plus 5% post-industrial recycled PET. So you can breathe and walk with ease.

Environmentally Recyclable Materials

Performance Enhancement EcoSoft® is a designed and engineered to absorb destructive impact from high foot traffic. Its superior compression and recovery properties significantly reduce fiber crush and wear-and-tear, giving the carpet a better appearance retention compared with any hard backing, so enabling the carpet to retain its good looks for longer. EcoSoft Tile PVC Tile Luxurious Walking Comfort EcoSoft® is a cushion backing that effectively absorbs foot impact, and as a result reduces leg muscle fatigue to a greater degree as compared to any hard flooring. Comfort under foot...

Exceptionally Durable Due to its dense PET fiber construction, the cushioning effect will continue to perform for the lifespan of the installed carpet. EcoSoft Tile PVC TileEcoSoft Tile PVC Tile 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%

Excellent Sound Absorption EcoSoft® is made from millions of fine PET fibers interlocked together in a needling process to form a compressed felt. The felt acts as a sound absorption having excellent acoustical properties. These noise reducing properties, drastically improve acoustics in the workplace, off-setting the higher cost of ceiling, wall of double glazed acoustical materials. Surveys have shown that traceable sources of noise negatively affect human health creating stress and other problems. One of the most effective way of controlling noise levels is to suppress noise by using...

Heating and cooling commercial buildings is expensive. Products that contribute thermal resistance can considerable reduce energy costs. EcoSoft® will keep the warmth in heated buildings in winter, and the cool air-conditioned air inside buildings in summer. Tests show that Ecosoft® outperforms hard back tile by more than 150% for thermal effectiveness. EcoSoft Tile PVC Tile 0 50 100 Superior Dimensional Stability EcoSoft® unique manufacturing process enables this non-woven backing to have superior dimensional stability without using environmentally harmful fiberglass, PVC, Bitumen or...

Wet-Slab Installation and Moisture Transmission Changes in carpet tile adhesives, building schedules, and floor preparation processes have contributed to an increase in flooring installation failures, and in some cases the release of potentially harmful Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) into the indoor air environment. Moisture build-up under non-porous flooring like vinyl sheet, hard backed carpet tiles, and fixed timber floors, expose adhesives and tile backings to high pH levels; this is from alkalines within the concrete, concentrating in surface moisture that is unable to escape. This...

Lightweight Benefit Transporting materials from manufacturing facilities to project sites involves various modes of transport, all of which leave a carbon footprint. The lighter weight EcoSoft® product requires less energy to transport, thus achieves a higher LEED point rating due to lower carbon footprint. EcoSoft® backed carpet tiles weigh 38% less than an equivalent hard back carpet tile. This considerably reduces OH&S risk of site labor and installation.
