Kaleidoscape
Carpet TileTM
is the only modular floor covering specifically designed
to allow a multitude of patterns to be created or no pattern at
all, using only one tile design. By grouping a few tiles, then
repeating the group on the floor, a unique pattern emerges. Change
the group, and likewise the pattern changes. By contrast, by installing
the tiles with random rotations, a pattern-free floor covering
can be achieved. With StayTacTM non-adhesive
installation system, the floor design can be changed at any time.

Carpet TileTM is durable, stain resistant,
and commercially rated. The attached cushion is the foundation
of the product and provides exceptional comfort and resilience.
This PVC-free polyurethane back is engineered to absorb rolling
and foot traffic, minimizing the wear of the face yarn and eliminating
the possibility of buckling and restretch problems. Thus, the
appearance retention and overall usable life of the carpet is
greatly extended. The attached cushion also features a waterproof
barrier between the carpet and pad.
In
addition, the StayTacTM coating applied
to the carpet backing provides a high friction component preventing
lateral movement of the tile, yet the vertical grip is such that
the tile can be easily rotated, removed, or replaced. Performance
is exceptional with no loss of tack of the backing over time.
StayTacTM streamlines the installation process
by eliminating the cost and time associated with applying traditional
wet adhesives.
Kaleidoscape
Carpet TileTM offers distinct advantages
over traditional patterned broadloom in that it can be installed
and removed individually or in sections. This characteristic allows
a high degree of flexibility when creating patterns, designs,
accents, borders, area rug effects, and most importantly, an inexpensive
and unobtrusive solution to replacement due to major damage.

Carpet TileTM with StayTacTM
is the most versatile, environmentally friendly, modular carpet
installation system available today.

Installation
tips: Kaleidoscape Carpet TileTM
is simple to install. With StayTacTM integrally
applied to the backing during fabrication, no additional adhesives
or tapes are required. If it is necessary to cut tiles in order
to cover an entire Wall 2 Wall floor area, the only tools required
are a straight edge and a utility knife. After measuring and
marking the portion of tile to be removed, flip it over and
cut the tile from the back. Using firm pressure, a utility knife
will cut through the carpet backing, all the way through the
face yarn. Use caution and safety equipment when handling sharp
objects.
Care:
These high-quality carpet tiles clean easily with hot water
only. In some cases soap may be used, but heavy-duty cleansers
are not required. The color-dyed nylon face yarn is top-quality
Antron 6,6 fiber, and will not bleed, smudge, or fade during
cleaning. Do not use bleach.
When
storing or moving carpet tiles, in order to preserve
the vitality of the StayTacTM coating,
they should be stacked back-to-back and face yarn-to-face yarn.
Do not stack them back-to-yarn because any dust on the carpet
fibers will reduce the effectiveness of the StayTacTM
high-friction surface.
