One of the major reasons for our looselay carpet tiles superior performance lies in the structure of the backing.

The quality and choice of materials used, combined with the scientifically calculated method of balance and construction, ensure ease of installation and enduring stability and appearance after installation.

REMEMBER !!
Whatever carpet tile you choose must be resistant to extension when subjected to high dynamic and static loads. It must be resistant to shrinkage during stringent cleaning programmes or even inadvertent flooding. It must have the ability to withstand heavy traffic and the movement of office furniture without warping, doming or curling. All our contract tiles have been tested and classified by international standards and it is imperative that customers carefully assess these gradings in order to select the appropriate quality to meet their requirements. All our Looselay contract tiles conform to international standards of dimensional stability.

The international grading combined with durability, comfort value, appearance retention, the ability to conduct static electricity, the resistance to fire, and the ability to absorb noise, all have a significant part to play in the final choice of a carpet tile.

By consultation with our technical representative we will ensure that the tile you choose will be the optimum for your requirements.

BACKING COMPOSITION
We became one of the biggest success stories in the recent history of the carpet industry in South Africa, because we followed international trends in loose-lay products and committed ourselves to the exclusive manufacture of Enduroback loose-lay carpet tiles.

Enduroback KR4 ultimately achieves a far higher location grading making the carpet tiles more dimensionally stable and a lot easier to work with.

When using Enduroback, a softer feeling under foot is achieved, together with far better acoustic properties.

Enduroback tiles can be considered an asset as the tiles can be uplifted and taken to new premises if necessary.

Effective maintenance is accomplished easily with tile rotation, which is an important factor when there are continuous changes in office partitions.

One of the many advantages of Enduroback loose-lay tiles, is the fact that they can be installed easily in existing office complexes, without vacating the premises. This can be done by simply moving the existing office furniture around and laying the tiles in sections.

The management and maintenance of high traffic wear areas can be accommodated a lot easier with Enduroback tiles, and they can be installed by fewer people on large contracts, as no time is wasted for adhesive flash off.

One of the big selling points of Enduroback tiles is the fact that they are less likely to be affected by sandy screeds and can accommodate a limited amount of pitting and unevenness in the screed.

We are excited about the future of Enduroback KR4 tiles and will be developing new products on an ongoing basis.

DIMENSIONAL STABILITY
Our Carpet tiles offer dimensional stability on the vertical, horizontal and diagonal planes to ensure the maximum resistance to distortion resulting from heavy and frequent rolling or dragging traffic. The carpet tiles will resist shrinkage and extension under changing moisture and temperature conditions. It is this stability that also reduces the possibility of carpet tiles buckling and lifting neighbouring carpet tiles.

The stable non-woven primary backing used in our Contract Carpet tiles results in a floor covering of immense strength capable of withstanding harsh day to day treatment.

STRENGTH
This is a significant benefit if ever the carpet tiles are subjected to non-rolling traffic, such as dragged heavy furniture or seized chair wheels.

In this respect, study the gradings concerned with static loading, Vetterman drum, Lisson test, and particularly the castor chair rating. (See Testing and Grading)

FIRE RESISTANCE
All our carpet tiles incorporate aluminium trihydrate, a highly effective fire retardant which offers protection of property and life - a most important benefit, particularly when installed in high-rise commercial or domestic complexes.

Check the fire rating and ensure that this meets with your requirements.

POWERbac
Van Dyck Carpets broadloom ranges are backed by POWERbac - a unique woven synthetic secondary backing.
POWERbac offers:
1 Dimensional stability
2 Uniform consistency
3 Flexibility
4 Excellent bonding properties
5 Ease of fitting

It is also totally resistant to moisture, which makes it hygienic, anti-microbial and able to withstand repeated wet cleaning without rotting.

It is suitable for stickdown or stretched contract installations.
