Thrive® Matter
Nylon 6 Fibre
a step ahead, no footprint behind
Why choose?
Thrive® ProTile
Acoustics
Thrive® ProTile with EcoTX™ backing not only gives a more ergonomic working surface, it also greatly reduces impact noise and ambient noise.
EcoTX™ backing has an average Noise Coefficient (NRC) of 0.25 as opposed to comparable brands in the marketplace with a NRC of 0.15.
What’s more, ProTile’s acoustic backing offers the same market-leading characteristics in terms of durability and fire resistance and is supplied with the same long product guarantees.
Stain Resistance
The stain resists performance of Thrive® is inherent and ‘built-in’. Unlike common topically applied treatments, Thrive® stain resist performance is permanent. It can never be washed or worn off and will not diminish over time. Not only does this technology provide stain resistance throughout the lift of the carpet, but it is also recyclable and contains no red-list ingredients.
Nylon Fibre
Being carbon neutral is not enough for us. In collaboration with Universal Fibers®, we have gone one step further, proudly introducing the world’s first carbon negative nylon fibre. This groundbreaking innovation reflects our dedication to pushing the boundaries of environmental responsibility. At Project Floors, we’re not just creating products; we’re inspiring innovation and wholeheartedly dedicated to preserving the planet for generations to come
With a carbon footprint that sets a new standard, we’re going beyond zero, achieving a carbon impact that marks the first instance of carbon negativity for a nylon fibre.
Less CO2 over Virgin Nylon 6
Using Thrive® Matter as opposed to virgin solution dyed nylon saves more than 5kg of CO2 per square meter of carpet tile. Carpets made with Thrive® offset CO2 emissions nearly three times more than carpets made with virgin SD nylon.
