Tarkett launched a series of collections that help achieve optimal education spaces—from fostering joy and playfulness to promoting calm and focused learning. The launches include new and updated portfolios on carpet tile and Powerbond hybrid carpet: Angled in Enrichment, High Frequency and book two of Grounded Harmony from the Layered Duality collection.
Designed to promote engagement and create supportive, nourishing spaces, Angled in Enrichment explores the interplay of shapes, lines and angles to influence mood and purpose. The collection features three styles on carpet tile to help improve acoustics while delivering elevated aesthetics, acoustics and comfort underfoot, as well as three styles on Powerbond for added durability, superior moisture management and easy maintenance. All styles are available in nine colorways each.
High Frequency is Tarkett’s latest collaboration with designer Jhane Barnes. Designed for spaces that call for creativity and exuberance, the collection is inspired by humans’ reverberation when focusing on positive feelings, which puts off greater energy and promotes a sense of happiness, harmony and well-being. Each of the three patterns in the High Frequency collection is available in 11 colorways.
An extension of the award-winning Layered Duality collection, book two of Grounded Harmony brings an additional 20 colors ideal for educational environments, opening a world of possibilities for designs that apply color accents in wayfinding, gradients and zones for learning activities. Between vibrant, mood-boosting hues and mid-toned neutrals, the style’s inviting texture and coordinated palette set just the right tone for any space. New in book two, Grounded Harmony is now available on Powerbond in addition to carpet tile.
All three collections’ carpet tile patterns are available on Tarkett’s Ethos and Flex-Aire Modular carpet tile backings.
Made with up to 79% recycled content, Ethos is a sustainable solution for high-traffic spaces where ease of installation is a must. The backing is non-PVC, Cradle to Cradle Certified Silver and contributes to the circular economy by being fully recycled back into itself through Tarkett’s ReStart® take-back and recycling program. For preparation ease, its Omnicoat Technology barrier prevents moisture, pH or previous adhesives from affecting the floor installation—even over challenging substrates.
Flex-Aire carpet tile is a durable flooring solution that delivers superior acoustics and underfoot comfort. It is ideal for spaces where occupant well-being and seamless design transitions are paramount, such as open office spaces or interior spaces where people stand or walk for long periods. Its construction also helps ensure that liquids and soil stay at the surface, providing easier cleaning and reduced maintenance costs.
Powerbond RS hybrid carpet is the world’s first soft-surface flooring Certified Asthma & Allergy Friendly®.
All three collections can be responsibly recycled at the end of their life through Tarkett’s ReStart take-back and recycling program.
