That’s where InterfaceFLOR has you covered. Our glue-free carpet tile offers remarkable bang for your buck by creating less waste and less mess. And while you save green, you’ll go green, because our products and programs are designed for minimal environmental impact. They help create cleaner, more efficient buildings and classrooms, while giving your school a head start toward sustainability.

How’s that for earning top grades in multi-tasking?

You’ll find more in the pages that follow – and on our compre-hensive, user-friendly website, www.interfaceflor.com/k12 –but here’s a quick crib sheet about our products and programs. Our climate neutral carpet tiles install with less waste and no glue — plus, they’re a cinch to replace and meet the highest standards for indoor air quality. Our ReEntry® 2.0 recycling program will accept nearly any carpet type (like that dingy broadloom in the locker room), saving it from the landfill — and maintenance staffs the trip. Our i2™ non directional styles install for as little as 1.5% waste – compared to an average 14% with broadloom. And with our QuickShip program, we offer a wide variety of patterns, colors and styles — nearly 200 SKUs — that ship within five to ten business days.

We invite you to explore this catalog and visit us online to envision how many ways our floorcovering solutions can make your life easier. In a way, you could say we’d be delighted for you to walk all over us.

We’re a flooring company that believes “clean up your mess” and “waste not, want not” isn’t just good advice for our kids. It’s a new way of thinking – which is what education is all about.

With a new decade unfolding, K-12 education has plenty to look forward to: greener and more efficient schools, for example, and exciting technology in classrooms. However, the future is also sure to bring the all-too-familiar challenge of tight budgets.

With i2, it’s ok NOT to follow directions.

No direction? No problem! Many of InterfaceFLOR’s revolutionary i2 carpet tiles are non directional; that is, they install without a directional pattern. They’re designed to be laid in any direction, in any order, simplifying the entire process by cutting installation time, waste and costs.

Squared Off Collection: i2 flexibility and standout style in 24 standard color options

Keep investments in your facility, not in a landfill.

No matter how you do the math, InterfaceFLOR carpet tiles are a no-brainer. An average 100,000 square foot building installed with broadloom creates an average 14% installation waste. At $18 per square yard, that’s $28,000. With i2 non directional carpet tiles, waste is as low as 1.5%.

Put the cash into your facility – not in the local landfill.

With InterfaceFLOR’s waste-reducing carpet tiles, it is easy being green (with all due respect to Kermit the Frog, of course).

Solution dyed nylon + Non-flow-through modules = Long-lasting color & fewer stains

We can’t help but geek out on the science behind our products. Our 100% solution dyed fiber is permanently colored throughout, not just on the surface, so it’s resistant to most bleaches and other staining liquids that would typically ruin conventional carpet. And our non-flow-through modules keep spills on the surface for easier clean-up and fewer stains.

The result: Carpet that keeps its color long after the bell rings.

ReEntry® 2.0: A real-life lesson about the power of recycling

With ReEntry 2.0, your school can get students excited about recy-cling that goes far beyond plastic and paper. Through this revolu-tionary program, InterfaceFLOR can reclaim nearly any carpet type – even that beat-up broadloom in the coatroom – which saves mil-lions of pounds of carpet from the landfill. In fact, since 1994 we’ve reclaimed over 198 million pounds of carpet. We are able to cleanly separate the nylon face fiber from the backing and recycle it into new nylon for use by us and other industries. Separated GlasBac® and similar backings are recycled into new backing.

Put it together and what do you get? New InterfaceFLOR Convert™ carpet tile with up to 75% total recycled content and as much as 35% post-consumer content.
