October 11, 2006—InterfaceFLOR Commercial introduces TacTiles, an installation system designed to enhance the flexibility and efficiency of InterfaceFLOR modular carpet.
TacTiles are patent-pending 3 x 3 inch adhesive squares made from a chemically inert (PET) polymer, the same polymer used to make soda bottles. They are affixed to the backing of adjoining InterfaceFLOR carpet tiles, bonding the tiles to each other to create a ‘floating floor.’ Because TacTiles contain no liquid components, their use virtually eliminates the issue of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), so they can be installed almost anywhere at any time, even in an occupied space.
TacTiles allow installers to lay carpet tiles directly on top of most hard surfaces without permanently attaching the carpet to the substrate. TacTiles offer the stability and durability of a permanent installation without permanent adhesion, enabling greater modular flexibility in wall-to-wall installations as well as moveable, area rug applications.
