We at InterfaceFLOR invite you to start 2010 on the greenest foot possible. But the path ahead isn’t about jumping on the bandwagon – it’s about jumping behind the wheel (of a hybrid, of course). InterfaceFLOR prod-ucts and programs will help your college or university take an active role in becoming a green leader. Our climate neutral carpet tiles install with less waste and virtually no VOCs. They meet the NSF/ANSI 140 Gold or Platinum and CRI Green Label Plus standards and contribute toward LEED credit.

That’s not all. InterfaceFLOR gives new life to old carpet through our revolutionary carpet recycling program, ReEntry® 2.0. Our Convert™ carpet tile utilizes post-consumer content nylon and backing resulting from ReEntry 2.0 to incorporate as much as 75% total recycled content. And all InterfaceFLOR products are designed to last – a basic characteristic of sustainability.

In short, InterfaceFLOR products make everyone happy: staff and students, budgets and the board of regents, parents and the planet. And by creating a more earth-friendly campus, you’ll also attract top recruits.

We hope this catalog inspires you to envision the many ways InterfaceFLOR can help your campus rise to new green heights. The inspiration doesn’t end here. Go to www.interfaceflor.com/HigherEd for more products and Ready Room design options, as well as more infor-mation on our earth-friendly initiatives.

When it comes to sustainability in 2010 and beyond, In-terfaceFLOR is looking forward to helping your campus turn over a whole new tile.

Where will your campus go in the next decade?

Sustainability is no longer just a hot subject at colleges and universities across the country – it’s the focus for the future. With a new decade unfolding, there’s no better time to envision new green horizons for your campus.

Is Your Campus Ready to Convert?

Convert styles — like Cartera, shown on this page and throughout the catalog — earn high grades in sustainability. They feature 64-75% total recycled content in the tile’s nylon face and backing, including 32-35% post-consumer. These styles offer unprecedented levels of post-consumer content and illustrate InterfaceFLOR’s commitment to reducing use of virgin raw materials – and getting off oil. Convert works hand-in-hand with our ReEntry 2.0 reclamation and recycling program (read more about it on the next page). In addition, Convert has helped InterfaceFLOR earn a mark we’re proud of: an Environmental Product Declaration, an EPD. We’re the first in our industry to have this sought-after designation, which evaluates factors like the full lifecycle of a product, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and using renewable energy. Our EPD applies to all of our Convert styles.

Plastic? Check. Paper? Check. Carpet? Check. Crank up campus recycling with ReEntry 2.0.

With ReEntry 2.0, InterfaceFLOR’s innovative carpet reclamation and recycling program, you’ll ramp up recycling efforts on your campus. ReEntry 2.0 allows us to reclaim old carpet — like that dingy broadloom in the dorms — and recycle it into post-consumer material. This industry-leading program marks a design breakthrough toward true sustainability.

The entire ReEntry 2.0 pro-cess requires less energy than other recycling processes, diverts waste from landfills and reduces our dependence on virgin raw materials.

With ReEntry 2.0, you’ll ensure your campus won’t contribute to the 5 billion pounds that end up in landfills every year.

did You Know? ReEntry 2.0 has kept more than 198 million pounds of carpet from land-fills since 1994. How many can your campus save from a similar fate?

Cartera Collection: Pick from standard styles and optional patterns perfect for libraries, lounges and everywhere in between.


Durability = Sustainability

At InterfaceFLOR, we under-stand that the greenest products are the ones that last. That’s why we never launch products that can’t stand up to everyday wear and tear — like heavy traffic in the dorms or spills in the cafete-ria — for many years.

Our modular carpet tiles are designed to stand the test of time. They’re made with a dense construction of solution dyed nylon that holds its color and resists stains. They’re designed with dimensionally stable back-ing that stays put on the floor. And they’re all treated with In-tersept®, our proprietary preser-vative that protects them against mold and bacteria growth.

InterfaceFLOR products go the distance – helping green your university in the process.

Selective tile replacement makes renovations a snap.

Forget hauling bulky broadloom, moving heavy furniture and halt-ing classes. With InterfaceFLOR carpet tile, renovations are a breeze. Your custodial staff can easily and inexpensively change out damaged or soiled tiles in seconds. Plus, i2™ styles like Entropy® and Panorama™ shown later in this catalog feature merge-able dye lots — which means new carpet tiles always blend with the originals, no matter when they’re purchased or installed.

So go for modular tile, and scrap the broadloom – it’s not how your university should roll.

Entropy: The original i2 non directional style

Less is definitely more when it comes to i2.

Our i2 carpet tiles are so ap-pealing to maintenance staffs precisely because of what they don’t have: a lot of waste, a set directional pattern and compli-cated installation plans. Instead, they feature minimal waste (an average of 1.5% compared to 14% for typical broadloom carpet); mergeable dye lots (tiles will blend together no matter when they’re purchased or installed); and a non directional orientation (tiles can be laid in any direction).

Roll Out a New, Greener Way to Install Carpet in 2010 and Beyond.

Say good-bye to glue for a cleaner, faster installation with TacTiles® – InterfaceFLOR’s revolutionary installation system. TacTiles connectors adhere car-pet tiles to one another, not the floor beneath, to create a durable yet flexible floor that provides easier selective replacement and long-term performance. They make installation and removal a cinch, and virtually eliminate VOCs – not to mention having an environmental footprint more than 90% lower than traditional glue adhesives. So go ahead and put glue back in its place – in the art department, not the floor.

did You Know? One roll of TacTiles connectors (2 lbs) installs the same amount of carpet as a 42 lb bucket of glue.
