BACKING SYSTEMS
Three backing systems. Choose by floor performance.
The backing system is where a commercial carpet tile earns or loses the specification. Our catalogue is available on three industry-standard backing systems so you can match environmental, acoustic and budget requirements without compromising the face.
Multi-layer construction
Six to seven layers, bonded as one continuous system.
Scroll to reveal how each layer contributes to dimensional stability, acoustic performance and installed longevity.
