Our Tessera and Westbond carpet tiles are not only synonymous with quality, we are always looking for ways to improve our production processes and product constructions to make our tiles more sustainable.
50% Recycled content
By challenging the way tufted carpet tiles are made, our UK-produced Tessera tiles now boast over 50% recycled content.
Reduced tile waste by 80%
We use innovative ultrasonic blades to cut our carpet tiles, which reduces tile waste by 80% compared to the standard technique. And our new extruder creates a closed loop process, ensuring that the little waste we generate is recycled back into the product.
Reduced amount of virgin materials
We are reducing the amount of virgin materials we use. For example, instead of throwing away yarn ends, we rewind them and tuft them into our Tessera range. We even have several ranges made with up to 100% ECONYL® regenerated yarn.
Westbond Natural with up to 74% recycled content
For those looking for something closer to nature, our Westbond Natural range is made from the undyed wool of seven different UK sheep breeds and has up to 74% recycled content in its backing.
Quick and easy to clean
Our carpet tiles are quick and easy to clean using a system called Dry Fusion, which uses heat, a little water and natural, organic cleaners. So you can use less water and fewer chemicals without compromising appearance.
Reduced fitting waste
Following Green Design principles, our innovative random-lay carpet tiles reduce fitting waste to less than 2%. And any Tessera fitting waste can be collected for recycling at our plant near Preston, Lancashire, where it is processed back into new carpet tiles.
Carpet recycling UK
As a founder member of Carpet recycling UK, we are also working to ensure that at the end of life our carpet tiles can be recycled or reused.

The comprehensive range includes various designs in divers constructions, from loop pile to cut pile and randam.lay. batchless. Perfect to enhance all types of commercial and public sector interiors.

Our carpet tiles are designed and manufactured with various pile constructions to give specific aesthetic and performance benefits.
Loop pile
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 Go to our Tessera loop pile collections
Random lay. batchless
A random-lay tile is cleverly designed so that it may be laid in any direction to produce a totally individual installation. Different production consignments of ‘batchless’ tiles can be used together in an installation without the usual risk of visible batch variation. Tessera’s random-lay batchless carpet tiles have been made possible through the use of advanced CMC tufting technology and can reduce installation waste to less than 2%. Go to our Tessera Random Lay.Batchless collections
Cut & loop pile
Cut and loop pile tiles feature a clever hybrid construction that offers all the robustness of a conventional loop pile product but with the superior aesthetics and more luxurious feel of a cut pile carpet tile. Tessera offers a range of cut and loop pile tiles suited to all types of commercial environments.

Cut pile
Softer and more luxurious than loop pile, cut pile carpet tiles are ideal for boardrooms and meeting rooms in addition to general office environments.

Fusion bonded
Fusion bonding is a sophisticated method of carpet tile manufacturing where individual yarn pile is bonded onto the backing material to make an extremely dense and luxurious floor covering. Each tuft is individual and a high proportion of the yarn is in the wear surface providing a beautiful, rich velour carpet tile which gives an excellent broadloom appearance. All of our Westbond carpet tiles are made in this specialised way. Go to our Westbond collections
Electrostatically flocked
Electrostatic flocking is a unique method of manufacture where ‘charged’ nylon fibres are bonded into an adhesive backing to create a very dense (over 70 million nylon fibres per m²) and durable floor covering. Flotex is a perfect option for very busy locations, such as counter areas, kiosks and call centers as it is able to withstand extreme wear and castor chair traffic Go to our Flotex collection .
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.
