Good design matters. It’s as much about what is aesthetically pleasing and practically sound as it is about finding and implementing mindful design solutions that offer more. We prioritise sustainability in our practices, and in the same breath, we do stylish flooring options.
Speaking of breathability, living spaces today are first assessed by considering the accessibility, comfort, and ease of the people occupying that space. Welspun Ecolite™ fits in here, where it’s all about striking a balance between beautiful floors and artful design that plays a role in reducing your carbon footprint too.
Welspun Ecolite™ is the Commercial Flooring option we offer that’s designed to reduce carbon footprint. Let’s start at your doubts – many of us might not actually consider the impact our private living spaces can have on one’s carbon footprint. Designed to address this, Welspun Ecolite™ backing is crafted out of lightweight PVC that helps reduce the overall weight significantly, ensuring a 40% less environmental footprint than traditional carpets.
Let’s look at it this way. Tiling is an important facet one considers when building an inhabitable space. With Welspun Flooring, we want to help our customers by taking care of the details so you can focus on aesthetics, comfort, design, and your overall tiling needs.
Welspun Ecolite™ backing includes several facets that can help make the design of your living space mindful and stylish. Take our HealthyFloor™ technology, which means our carpet tiles come with a special coating that makes them anti-viral and anti-microbial, killing 99.68% of viruses. They absorb carbon dioxide, helping reduce air pollution and improving the air quality. Abrasive cleaning methods are not recommended – our HealthyFloor™ technology relies on you using solely interim and gentle cleaning methods that can help maintain your carpet tiles for longer periods.
Our Welspun Flooring manufacturing facility is also LEED BD+C v4 certified – this building certification means our practices reduce stress on the environment by lowering carbon dioxide emissions. We consume less energy and water compared to traditional buildings, thereby diverting 100% of waste from landfills. The Welspun Ecolite™ greenest flooring is also CRI Green Label Plus certified – our carpet, adhesive, and cushion products meet stringent criteria for low chemical emissions.
Thermal mass is key in selecting the greenest flooring options that help reduce carbon footprint – an exceptional thermal mass indicates that the amount of energy required for heating and cooling within a closed living space is lesser.
Thermoplastic Olefin backing replaces traditional PVC in the tiling options we offer. An eco-friendly alternative, thermoplastic olefin provides: unparalleled durability, resistance to temperature fluctuations – alongside superior resilience against physical wear and tear. Thermoplastic Olefin is also 100% recyclable, and it emits low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to a healthier indoor air quality. Compared to traditional PVC, which can be impacted by sharp and heavy objects, and which can even emit VOCs, the lightweight nature of thermoplastic olefin is such that it reduces its carbon emissions during transportation and is a smarter, greener choice for your living space.
Some of the other features of the Welspun Flooring range of eco-friendly carpet tiles include: stain resistance, texture resistance, abrasion resistance, and fade resistance. This is due to Highly Resistant Fibre – Ny6+™ that Welspun Flooring eco-friendly carpet tiles are made up of, contributing to their superior colour retention, strength, stain, and fade resistance.
Now comes the fun part! Choosing an option best for you and the unique needs of your living space. Welspun Flooring offers several colours, options, and patterns in our range of eco-friendly carpet tiles. There’s Beach Grey, Mocha Mist, Oasis Blue, Pewter Grey, amongst our soothing, subtle, and striking Sand dunes collection recommendations. If you are seeking something softer yet sophisticated, easy on the eyes, and aesthetically minimalist – the Floor Play collection has a lot of options, from Sunlit to Mahogany. Apart from design, our carpet tiles are noted for being able to absorb sound waves, helping smooth out abrupt and rough noises, contributing greatly to unobtrusive acoustics in your living space.
Ultimately, choosing a sound option of carpet tiles will rest on the nature of the space in question – What’s the mood and vibe like? Is it a personal space or an office area? What kind of environment do you have in mind? From sophisticated hues to the softly whimsical and cool classic, we offer options that cater to everyone’s kind of design sensibilities.
