Global Flooring Leader Expands Resilient Offerings with Products Designed for Efficiency with the introduction of its newest resilient offering, the Even PathTM line, Interface, a global commercial flooring producer and global pioneer in sustainability, has entered into the rigid core flooring industry.
Interface customers benefit from the durability of long-lasting hard flooring as well as the convenience of resilient tile thanks to rigid core flooring.
Path, the company’s first rigid core collection, also features magnificent high-quality wood and stone designs that are meant to last.
Interface designed stiff core solutions for hard-working conditions and today’s commercial market, made to withstand high static loads and cover subfloor flaws.
“We continuously evolve our product portfolio to ensure we deliver a variety of flooring solutions to align with our customers’ needs,” says Lisa King, Vice President, and Chief Innovation Officer at Interface.
“As LVT continues to grow in a big way across the commercial sector, we saw an opportunity to expand our resilient offerings.”
“Our customers were looking for enduring designs with a rigid, flat finish that features glue-free installation and are easy to maintain.”
“Rigid core delivers all of these performance benefits.”
“We engineered an innovative rigid core construction designed specifically for use in commercial environments, featuring a design aesthetic that beautifully conveys the intricate details of solid wood and monumental stone.”
Performance in Every Tile
Interface’s stiff core solutions are engineered for maximum durability as well as maximum flexibility.
The end product is a multi-layered tile that has been precisely created on the interior and outside for outstanding performance and simple installation over a variety of existing subfloors, including raised access flooring.
The hardcore layer of the tile is positioned in the middle, allowing the product to withstand large static loads with few leftover indentations.
The surface’s unique Ceramor X coating and wear layer work together to form powerful protection against scratches, scuffs, and abrasions.
This one-of-a-kind design delivers great performance in high-traffic commercial settings, while the product’s glue-free, drop-click installation mechanism reduces floor prep and installation time.
“We welcomed the opportunity to engineer a product that took resilience and aesthetics to the next level,” Sajal Patel, Global Director, Resilient at Interface stated.
“With advanced designs and an impressive palette of natural colors, our rigid core products make an impression on their own and are equally as beautiful when paired with Interface LVT, carpet tile, and Nora rubber.”
“Because all of our products are designed to work together, the addition of rigid core flooring to our product portfolio provides our customers with heavy-duty performance where they need it most.”
Commitment to Sustainability
Interface is continuing to look into ways to reduce the carbon footprint of all of its products as part of its Climate Take Back mission to reverse global warming, with the goal of being a carbon-negative company by 2040.
Building on its decades-long commitment to sustainability, including its ongoing transformation of the LVT and carpet tile markets, the company intends to drive innovation and transparency in the rigid core category by delivering new material formulations, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), and third-party certifications.
Notably, Interface is entering the highly competitive core market with products that have a far lower carbon footprint than the industry average, and the company plans to further decarbonize its products through manufacturing and material advancements.
These methods, taken together, help Interface get closer to its carbon-negative target while also supporting its customers in lowering the carbon footprint of their built environments.
Debut Rigid Core Collection
Path, the first Interface rigid core goods line, is designed from the ground up with nature’s strength and beauty in mind.
Path, on the other hand, depicts the majesty of solid wood, marble, and concrete in minute detail.
Path Woodgrains, which is available in 25 cm 1 m boards, has three distinct designs in 16 different hues, providing a spectrum of organic tones and shades that create stunning, natural, and harmonious environments.
Meanwhile, Even Path Stones is available in two patterns and eight colors, with 50 cm 1 m boards helping to create marble and concrete aesthetics.
Because of Interface’s third-party confirmed Carbon Neutral Floors program, even Path, which is constructed with 39 percent recycled content, is carbon neutral over its full life cycle.
