INVISTA
Antron Carpet Fibre, featuring in carpet planks and tiles from Quadrant, is now
providing the London offices of insurance broker, Integro, with long-term
performance and ease of maintenance.
Carpet
products from British company, Quadrant, were specified by Resonate interiors
throughout the open plan space, complementing with the concrete chilled beams
and glazed facades that inspire the interior design.
In working
spaces, carpet tiles provide underfoot comfort and acoustic absorption; along
with wear and stain resistance thanks to Antron Lumena carpet fibre and a
quality 12th gauge construction.
The organic
shapes and linear motif of Quadrant Synergy carpet tiles in colour Sonic Grey
add a dynamic spirit beneath desks in meeting rooms, while the minimal elegance
of Elements in colour Pebble contrasts for walkways. With both carpet tiles
relying on Antron Lumena carpet fibre, Resonate Interiors could create an
energetic floor design, selecting products with the confidence of
high-performance, stain and fade resistance, and ease of maintenance.
Antron
Lumena carpet fibre, is made from Polyamide 6.6 (PA 6.6) and is extruded in a
square fibre shape with four hollow-channels running through its length. This
unique fibre shape and hollow-cross section minimise the appearance of dirt,
while the tighter and stronger structure of PA 6.6 - compared to PA 6.0 - makes
it difficult for dirt to adhere, for easier removal when cleaning.
Solution-dyed, where colour is an integral part of the molecular structure,
Antron Lumena is also colourfast and so resists staining and fading from
sunlight and cleaning.
Elsewhere,
Antron carpet fibre features in cut-pile carpet planks from Quadrant.
Zephyr in colour Heliotrope, and Shimmer in colour Moonlit, work as area rugs
to bring a floor with a feeling a luxury in relaxed seating areas. Zephyr
features Antron Legacy carpet fibre with a hollow cross-section that helps
to minimise the appearance of dirt, while Shimmer relies on the trilobal
cross-section of Antron carpet fibre. Performance in both products is thanks to
the wear-resistance and recovery of PA 6.6.
Integro is
located in a 4,180m2 office at 71
Fenchurch Street, London. Seeing staff congregating from a variety of
locations, the new office is defined by existing buildings on two sides –
including a Grade II listed building constructed for Lloyd’s Register in 1901.
Glazing animates the office’s exterior while also forming an integrated heating
and cooling system. A total of 3,192m2
of Quadrant carpet featuring INVISTA Antron® Carpet Fibre was used throughout
the building.
