i2 Modular Carpet
With the launch of Entropy® in early 2000, InterfaceFLOR® introduced i2, a new design platform that revolutionised the way manufacturers, designers and end-users look at modular carpet. It’s been recognised by many organisations and publications, including the September 2008 issue of Fast Company Magazine.
Learning from Nature
Relying on the concept of biomimicry - the study and imitation of nature’s best ideas to solve human problems - Entropy tiles were created to mimic the organic design of nature. Rather than make each tile the same, they vary in patterning and colouring within one style and colourway. Because there’s no need to worry about matching dye lots, you need less attic stock and selective replacement is even more effective.
Many i2 styles offer the added benefit of non directional installation, meaning that tiles can be laid in any order or orientation. With no set pattern to maintain and no need to align tiles in a certain direction, there is significantly less installation waste. In fact, the average i2 non directional installation produces only 1.5% waste versus an average of 14% installation waste with broadloom. That means more of your floorcovering investment is on your floor, not in the bin.
