FREESTILE by OBJECT CARPET: A new generation of tile carpets is opening up new possibilities – CREATE THE UNEXPECTED

An innovative, impressively flat weave gives the floor covering its modern, reduced – and, for a carpet tile – incredibly hard surface that still manages to retain all the comfort- and healthrelated advantages of a textile-based floor covering. Moreover, 16 intelligent designs provide exciting opportunities for creative imaginations to run free.

In addition to being resilient and minimalist like hard flooring, FREESTILE also offers the proven advantages of a woven textile surface. These include improving the acoustic qualities of a room (up to 20% compared to other hard flooring types). The high degree of slip resistance and peerlessly pleasant walking comfort have also made this textile flooring a sought-after furnishing. FREESTILE proves to be forward-thinking in its overall design: a carpet tile that combines innovative design, excellent utility, and sustainable environmental management at the highest level.

Innovative break with tradition

Real innovation shatters traditional standards – for over 40 years, unconventional thinking has been the driving force behind OBJECT CARPET’s efforts to continually improve carpet flooring: as regards quality, function, design and environmental responsibility. FREESTILE lives up to this dedication to improvement in every sense. The new Acoustic Plus underside coating made of highly compressed, through-air bonded PET fleece is OBJECT CARPET’s answer to increased demands for dimensional stability and improved acoustics. What is seen from above, by contrast, is a very finely structured, discreet surface with a particularly impressive appearance. It is furthermore especially suitable for people with allergies (TÜV certified). FREESTILE has been shown to reduce dust particle levels by over 50% in comparison to (stone) tiles or parquet flooring.

GUI certification further confirms the excellent test results, which incidently were also achieved by Web-Flex with Bravour.

Functional, innovative and extraordinary in design

This uniquely variable and robust collection from OBJECT CARPET is best suited for areas with significant foot traffic, such as in hotels, airports, showrooms or conference and convention centres. The design duo Kathrin and Mark Patel were inspired by historically rich cultural metropolises. From Antwerp to Marrakesh to Tokyo and back again – design transcends borders. Sixteen different, distinctive models, each available in four different colour options, form the starting point for a unique room design. The real attraction is that each motif is cut into individual 50 x 50cm tiles. Laid freely, the tiles make for an ever-new overall visual impression which manages to remain strikingly consistent. Furthermore, the innovative digital technique for printing on the newly developed weave structure combined with clever patterning provides for unexpected effects. A multidimensional experience that lends the flooring a fascinating depth and renders each and every room and floor a unique specimen.

Free from conventions, free from harmful substances

The sole raw material for the textile elements is PET, which can be recycled after the product’s useful life. The Denekndorf-based company thus keeps apace with the times not only in matters of contemporary design; it is also enduringly dedicated to sustainability. OBJECT CARPET sets new standards of quality precisely in those areas that see the highest levels of foot traffic. It is also critical in this case to ensure that flooring produces minimal emissions and is odourless. DiBT and GUT tested and certified, FREESTILE is a safe and environmentally friendly flooring solution for private homes and public spaces. FREESTILE has once again secured OBJECT CARPET’s reputation as one of the most innovative carpet manufacturers in the market. The responsible use of resources is just as on-trend as the luminous colours, original patterns and textures.
