Performance and Usage

Progression products are designed for heavy contract use (Class 33), suitable for high-traffic commercial environments. They provide robust fire resistance, dimensional stability, and moderate acoustic performance, aiding noise reduction indoors.

Environmental and Sustainability Considerations

All products use 100% solution-dyed nylon with recycled content, promoting sustainability. Solution dyeing reduces water and energy consumption and improves colorfastness.

Recommendations and Limitations

Specifications are subject to change; users should verify current data online.
Tile dimensions have a tolerance of ±0.2%, critical for precise installation.
Sound absorption is moderate; additional acoustic treatments may be needed in noisy environments.

Color and Light Reflectance

Each color variant is characterized by L Value (lightness in CIE L*a*b* space) and Y Value (light reflectance per BS 8493). Colors include Daylight, Desert Shadow, Evening Dusk, Morning Mist, Fawn, and Eclipse across product lines. Physical samples are recommended to confirm true colors due to printing limitations.

Manufacturer's Rights and Contact

Interface European Manufacturing BV reserves the right to modify specifications at any time. The latest technical data is available on their website. Comprehensive contact details are provided for Europe, Middle East, and Africa to support customer inquiries.

Summary

The document comprehensively presents the Global Change Collection and Progression series carpet tiles, emphasizing biophilic design, modular versatility, high durability, fire safety, acoustic performance, and sustainability.
