The “Hip and Humble” brand intends to outfit each new location with a variety of eco-friendly design elements and flooring is one spotlighted area.
The InterfaceFLOR carpet tile in the prototype guestroom meets CRI Green Label Plus Certified air quality standards and a Platinum rating for the NSF 140 sustainable carpet assessment standard. It contains 35-36% pre-consumer recycled content and 33% post-consumer recycled content, equaling approximately 70% total recycled content. The post-consumer recycled content comes from reclaimed carpet. These products are part of InterfaceFLOR’s Conver design platform which recently received the first Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for carpet in North America.
The modular flooring is also an option for Home2 Suites developers as a value-driven benefit. For InterfaceFLOR carpet tile, both wet and dry cleaning solutions are available to aid in spot removal. In case the tiles become overly soiled, the 20-inch squares can be individually replaced instead of a large portion or potentially an entire room, as with conventional roll carpet.
Home2 Suites has taken careful consideration into balancing the environmental impact with an uncompromised guest experience. While not an exclusive partner for Home2 Suites, InterfaceFLOR is a preferred option and was chosen for its specialization in modular carpet flooring, which creates little waste in the installation process.
