Carpet tile leader offers high performance and cost effective design solutions
Interface, the global leader in commercial modular flooring solution, is expected to penetrate the hospitality sector by highlighting its niches which include endless array of aesthetic designs, cost saving solutions, easy installation and maintenance. Interface’s unique quick turn-around custom design service to enhance corporate image is a plus for this emerging market.
“Our goal is to increase sales volume by 15% annually for the next three years in Asia” said Robin Hales, Interface’s Vice-President Asia, Marketing and Product. “We believe that there is a vast opportunity out there. What we need to do is to educate the market on the benefits of carpet tiles over other types of floor covering. And hospitality businesses with high customer traffic can enjoy major savings in both time and budget from the use of Interface carpet tiles.”
Modular tiles are easy to install and maintain. To install Interface modular tiles, there is no need for glue. TacTiles?, Interface’s cutting edge innovation, is a sticker type adhesive that enables glue-free and time-saving installation. While Intercept? antimicrobial technology keeps maintenance very basic, once a carpet tile is damaged, selective replacement can be easily accomplished by in-house staff.
“Interior designers can select from our vast array of designs, patterns, and colors to suit any desired ambience —from fun, relaxing, to luxury. Mix and match is one way to create interesting room-by-room design. Clients can also choose to benefit from our unique custom design service for an order as small as 250 sq.m.” said Luckana Ngampatichon, Interface’s Regional Business Manager for Thailand and Indochina. “When cost is a concern, minimum waste installation, simple maintenance, and easy selective replacement that decreases downtime makes Interface an ideal solution for beautiful functional floor for hotels and hospitality businesses.”
Interface carpet tiles have been a popular choice for hospitality businesses around the world for many years. And since the company began to penetrate this market segment in Thailand, it has earned trust from several hospitality entities including hotels and resorts in Amari and Centara Group, Major cinema, and many leading restaurants.
Interface is determined to create highest quality carpet tiles with the least impact on the environment. The company’s goals shifted towards making quality carpet tiles by using less oil and other natural resources, and create less waste. Almost half of the materials used are recycled. Interface also takes back retired carpet tiles into recycled process in order to divert waste from landfill.
