Sustainable and flexible range

Tessera Create Space 1 is an exceptionally flexible range of 18 semi-plain colourways. This loop pile carpet tile is suitable for any commercial interior. Styled for today’s interiors, Create Space 1 lends itself to single colourway installations, feature area designs and bespoke creative schemes.

Tessera Create Space 1 is a carpet tile with a loop pile construction. Carpet tiles with a standard loop pile construction are designed to maintain their good looks in the most demanding heavy traffic areas of buildings, such as corridors and reception areas. Textured loop pile tiles offer distinctive in-built texture and contemporary styling coupled with a robust and durable construction.

The Tessera Create Space 1 collection is part of our evolve+ series
Standard Tessera carpet tiles already contain over 60% recycled content and are produced using 100% renewable energy, resulting in lower embodied carbon levels.

By evolving this standard carpet tile construction, Forbo Flooring Systems has further improved the sustainability of selected carpet tile ranges, increasing the recycled content and substantially lowering the embodied carbon (A1-A3). All without offsetting and verified by range specific Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).

These most sustainable ranges can be easily identified as being part of the evolve+ series, all achieving the following enhanced sustainability criteria:
• less than 1.5 kg CO₂ e/m² of embodied carbon (A1-A3)
• more than 75% recycled content
• produced using 100% renewable energy

Transparency with every step

To prove the eco-friendliness of our carpet tile products, Forbo uses several assessments. The first is the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) technique resulting in an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). This declaration, which is transparent and third-party verified, is based on a technique to assess environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a product's life from raw material extraction through materials processing, manufacture, distribution, use, repair and maintenance, to ultimate disposal or recycling.

This technique takes all the following aspects into account: environmental impact of raw material acquisition, energy use and efficiency, content of materials and chemical substances, emissions to air, soil and water and waste generation.

Tessera installation & floorcare

Download here the Tessera carpet tile installation guidance note

Forbo Tessera carpet tiles are manufactured using polyamide (nylon) fibres for durability and appearance retention in the busiest commercial environments. A well designed entrance flooring system will prevent dirt and moisture from being tracked into the building, prolonging the life of the carpet tiles, reducing cleaning, repair and overall maintenance costs. Forbo Coral and Nuway entrance systems are independently proven to remove and retain up to 95% of all dirt and moisture entering a building.

Following the Forbo Floorcare guidelines will ensure that the appearance retention of the carpet tiles is retained.
