SOLON, OH, JUNE 26, 2024 — Global flooring manufacturer Tarkett has launched a carpet tile collection inspired by the aesthetic of repurposed materials. The Quiet Edit™ collection is a high-performance solution for open spaces, greeting areas, lobbies, meeting rooms or anywhere that people meet, gather, work or learn. “Reflection often leads toward tranquil transformation—a sense of purpose. As we considered our textile material choices for the future of our environment, we created Quiet Edit with a subtle, simple aesthetic that aims to quiet the senses,” said Omoleye Simmons, vice president of design at Tarkett North America.
With four styles available in 24” x 24” tiles, and 10 color options each, the Quiet Edit collection can upgrade commercial spaces with softened, timeless and well-worn aesthetics:
- Transcend Edit delivers a sophisticated, refined look with small-scale brushed linear striations.
- Transmute Edit provides larger-scale brushed linear ombre striations that drift to the center and gradually transition from dark to light, creating a focal point for any room.
- Transpire Edit offers small-scale organic grid lines for a visually appealing and calming effect, while linear patterning provides a sense of order and symmetry—a combination that breaks up large expanses and makes spaces more dynamic.
- Transport Edit combines larger-scale organic grid and brick-like shapes with linear elements to add complexity to a design, while also evoking a warm, inviting atmosphere.
“With modern and nuanced interpretations of classic patterning, Quiet Edit offers a mindful approach to designing interior spaces by merging newly interpreted materials with enduring beauty and performance,” Simmons said.
True to Tarkett’s holistic approach to sustainability, Quiet Edit modular tiles are available on ethos® Modular with Omnicoat Technology®—a Cradle to Cradle Certified® Silver, non-PVC backing that prevents moisture, pH or previous adhesives from affecting the floor installation—or on Flex-Aire Modular® Cushion, which contains 28–46 percent overall recycled content and provides superior acoustic performance, appearance retention and moisture management. And, like all Tarkett North America floors, Quiet Edit is ortho-phthalate-free. The collection is also part of ReStart®, Tarkett’s flooring take-back and recycling program.
The collection is made with Dynex SD® cationic nylon, Tarkett’s proprietary, branded yarn that provides permanent resistance against most staining agents. For even greater protection, Dynex SD is treated with Eco-Ensure™, an anti-soil chemistry with a C2C Material Health Certificate™ at the Platinum level. This fluorine-free soil protection technology lowers the cost of maintenance and creates healthier spaces by promoting better indoor air quality with low-VOC emissions.
For easy design and color coordination, Quiet Edit is available on Tarkett’s BrillianceSM Digital Color System, which puts the entire Tarkett Solution SPECtrum™ at designers’ fingertips—no matter where they happen to be working. Within the digital tool, designers can save favorite surfaces to project boards, visualize them in a space, and order samples. By getting the right color match every time, the tool reduces sample waste and shipping, helping us all design more responsibly and reduce our carbon footprints.
