Product catalog summary
Manufacturing Method: The Terra Atacama carpet is produced using a flatwoven technique with a loop (flat weave) pile surface. It is composed entirely of outdoor recycled PET, making it environmentally friendly.
Specifications: The total carpet weight is approximately 2,800 g/m², and it is manufactured in Spain with a width of about 2.00 meters. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Color and Pattern Matching: Slight variations may occur between production batches. For precise color matching, a stock cutting from the current batch is recommended before placing an order.
Installation on Stairs: High-quality heavy-use underlay is necessary for stair installations to cover the tread, nosing, and riser. Detailed installation guidelines are available for download.
Product Specific Information: The Terra Atacama is available as a rug or stair runner. It is bleach cleanable, UV stabilized, and waterproof, making it suitable for various environments.
Recommended Finishing: Regular vacuuming is essential for maintenance. A rug underlay is recommended to extend the rug's life and prevent slipping. Immediate stain removal is crucial, and professional cleaning is advised for deep cleaning.
Care Advice: Standard sizes are available, with custom sizes up to a maximum width of 200 cm. The carpet is made from recycled plastic bottles, contributing to sustainability.
Environmental Impact: The production process offsets the use of new petroleum, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and conserves water and energy. Each square meter of carpet contains over 150 recycled plastic bottles.
Technical Tolerances: Carpets are subject to manufacturing tolerances, with a sizing tolerance of +/-1.25%. The company may modify specifications to incorporate technical advancements.
Color and Surface Characteristics: Color perception can vary under different lighting conditions. The carpet is designed for indoor/outdoor use but may fade under prolonged sunlight exposure. Surface texture variations are normal and not considered defects.
Maintenance and Installation Considerations: Static electricity can be managed by maintaining humidity levels. Temporary protective films are not recommended. Special considerations are required for stair installations, including specific tread and nosing dimensions.

TERRA ATACAMA PRODUCT SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS 2/2 Pile Banding: Carpet is stored in a roll form. In storage, the weight of the roll creates a downward pressure which can cause a slight crushing of the surface of the pile, which when unrolled can show as a light band across the width of the carpet. This characteristic is perfectly normal and will disappear in a few weeks after installation as the pile becomes conditioned to the local environment and is subjected to use and regular vacuuming. Static electricity: When the atmosphere in a room is dry, static electricity can build up in the carpet....
