3. Interface carpet tiles have been fitted in the development of the Imperial Tobacco head quarters in Bristol, using the manufacturer’s unique glue-less installation system. TacTiles, small adhesive squares placed in the corners of each carpet tile, seamlessly connect the tiles to each other, rather than the subfloor, creating a secure floating floor, which won’t cause any permanent damage to the surface. TacTiles allow carpet tiles to be easily removed and relayed for maximum flexibility in design. www.interfaceflor.co.uk 01274 690 690
