FORBO Flooring Systems has expanded its range of ‘readily available and affordable’ carpet tiles, with the introduction of Tessera Accord. Featuring a ‘softly striated, contemporary design’, the colourways within the collection have been designed to tonally match each other and other ranges within the practical Tessera portfolio, allowing specifiers and flooring contractors to create beautifully integrated flooring schemes says the company.

Forbo says: ‘Made and stocked in the UK, Tessera Accord joins Tessera Infused as a ‘complementing solution’ within Forbo’s new Union Collection, a series of carpet tiles designed to address the needs of modern commercial design by promoting well-being and productivity within the workplace or learning environment.’

‘Comprising a contemporary, geometric pattern of naturally intersecting lines, Tessera Accord is available in 12 colourways. There are six neutral shades, including linen pearl, morning dew and six accent colours, such as coral kiss and clover leaf.’

All the colourways within the collection share identical yarns and tones with the Tessera Infused and the forthcoming Tessera Harmony ranges, allowing ‘interesting pattern change, single tone, design schemes to be developed. It’s also a flexible and balanced solution, which can be used alongside other Tessera ranges, such as Chroma and Layout.

Suitable for use within workspaces, education facilities and other indoor environments, Tessera Accord is said it can also be combined with Allura Flex LVT planks and tiles, without the need for transition strips, additional profiles, or an inconvenient build-up of the sub floor.

Lewis Cooper, marketing executive at Forbo, commented: ‘We’re delighted to launch Tessera Accord, the second range to be introduced to our brand-new Union Collection. The Union Collection provides architects and specifiers with flexible and adaptable solutions in a series of complementing designs and colours to create balanced, calming and productive workspace environments and inspiring education spaces.’

Available in 50 x 50cm tiles, Tessera Accord can reportedly be specified with a SOFTbac secondary backing. It’s said to be manufactured using 100% renewable energy and contains 61% recycled content by weight.
