Manufactured and stocked in the UK, Forbo Flooring Systems’ best-selling and well-renowned Tessera Teviot carpet tile collection has been relaunched. Following a yarn and colour palette update, the comfortability, durability and colour retention of the range has been enhanced significantly.
With over 10 million square metres already installed across the UK, Tessera Teviot is Forbo’s most popular low level-loop carpet tile range. However, Forbo has decided to make some changes to further improve the performance and aesthetics of the range.
One of the first changes Forbo has made is to the yarn that the collection is manufactured from: it is now solution dyed, as opposed to it being space dyed. This means that the collection has better colour retention than ever before, with colour present throughout the entire structure of each piece of yarn.
Following this yarn update, the weight of the Tessera Teviot carpet tiles has now also increased from 520 gsm to 540 gsm, resulting in improved underfoot comfortability and acoustic value. In fact, the impact sound reduction now stands at 25dB – ideal for education and office applications, where good acoustics and durability is vital.
What’s more, with two new contemporary colour palettes, neutral and colour accents, contractors are sure to find a shade that suits all client design schemes. Within the neutral palette, contractors will find a selection of new grey and brown tones, such as sandy, ecru and dusk, and within the colour accents palette, there is a selection of vibrant shades, including six brand-new colours such as clementine, cerise, chilli and blue moon.
Ellen Reith, marketing executive at Forbo Flooring Systems, commented: “Tessera Teviot has been one of the UK’s best-selling carpet tile collections for decades. However, to give our customers the best possible product and even better value for money, we have invested heavily in new technical updates, including a heavier pile weight, solution dyed yarn and a brand-new colour palette.
“We are also ensuring that we maintain a lot of stock of the finished goods and yarn, to ensure service levels are excellent and customers can get speedy deliveries from our UK factory.”
