Bring the calm and captivating beauty of nature indoors with Balsan Desert carpet tiles. As part of the Infini Colors collection, this structured loop pile tile is inspired by "immense stretches of sand, reclaimed by nature," offering a uniquely aesthetic and harmonious touch to your interior.
Desert tiles are designed to combine aesthetic appeal with an exceptional quietness. For environments that need a peaceful atmosphere, this flooring offers impressive ΔLw 25 dB impact noise insulation and αω 0.20 airborne noise absorption. For an even quieter experience, combine it with the Sonic Confort acoustic underlay for enhanced noise reduction, a perfect solution for today's open-plan offices.
Sustainability is at the core of this collection. Made from 100% regenerated polyamide yarn, it comes with impeccable eco-credentials. Its technical specifications are equally robust, with a fire classification of Bfl-s1 and a heavy contract use rating (33), ensuring it can withstand the daily grind of busy workspaces.
Available in a core range of 6 stock colours, with an extended palette of 33 more on request, Desert is the ideal choice for creating an individual, attractive space that promotes both comfort and peace.
