Performance
There’s a lot to consider when evaluating the foundation of a commercial government space. Several factors influence flooring’s performance and appearance retention including construction, installation and maintenance. The right combination of flooring products and solutions are key to protecting your investment for the long-term.
CONSTRUCTION
The way flooring is constructed contributes to the overall strength, durability and aesthetics. These components help resist stains, wear and tear, and moisture while providing long-lasting comfort, color and aesthetic appeal.
Construction also plays a large role in creating environmentally sustainable products. May of our fibers and backings are fully recyclable and meet Cradle to Cradle standards.
Solution Q Extreme® fibers are constructed to repel stains to help protect your surfaces from spills, stains and mishaps. Carpet constructed with Solution Q Extreme can be cleaned using just water, helping lessen the need for harsh chemicals. The fibers are impermeable to moisture, greatly reducing stains and offers lifetime warranties against abrasive wear, static protection, stain resistance, colorfastness to light and colorfastness to atmospheric contaminants.
EcoSolution Q® fibers are made of long-lasting, colorfast nylon 6 that withstands wear and helps retain appearance. Made of pre and post-consumer content. Eco Solution Q is an industry leader in DPF or denier per filament, which means that the filament holds up better to wear from walking, rolling traffic and other stresses. It also leads in tensile strength, which measure the force a fiber can withstand before breaking.

INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
Proper installation and maintenance are key factors when considering sustainable, high-performance flooring that will maintain its appearance under high usage and traffic in schools.
