InterfaceFLOR’s new flooring concept, the Versaflex System is a patent-pending system designed to enable hard and soft surfaces to be combined in a single installation for the first time.
The Versaflex System has been developed with complete versatility and portability in mind, making it ideal for fast-changing retail and office environments. It is six times quicker to install than a conventional ceramic or porcelain floor and can be walked on immediately after it is laid, resulting in minimum downtime and disruption to business.
The Versaflex System consists of a hard surface tile already mounted on a support grid with a flexible L-shaped grout attached. Tiles are then joined together to build up a floored area and carpet tiles can be inserted to create rugs and other bespoke patterns within the floor area. Installation is easier and cleaner than with traditional ceramic floors, and can be carried out by InterfaceFLOR’s contractors.
It is installed in such a way that it can be easily replaced or re-used. Customers can create a whole new look, change layouts or repair any damage simply by removing and replacing individual tiles. It is even possible to take up the entire system, making it easier in case of office relocation.
The Versaflex System can be considered also as a sustainable choice as it eliminates the waste associated with creating and installing a whole new floor, as well as removing and disposing of the old one. This is in line with Mission Zero – Interface’s pledge to achieve a zero carbon footprint by 2020.
Adding to the system’s sustainable properties, the Versaflex System is made using the latest techniques in precision engineering to ensure maximum efficiency and minimum waste in the manufacturing process. For example, advanced robotic technology is being used to assemble the component parts of the system. Also, it can be disassembled at end of life while both the grid and grout are fully recyclable.
