HomeNewsPatcraft introduces non-woven composite flooring collection

Cartersville, Ga.—Patcraft has launched its first non-woven composite flooring collection, Dichroic. Designed to create an innovative platform for commercial flooring featuring a new option in materiality, the Dichroic collection incorporates the warmth of soft surface and the durability and cleanability of hard surface. With rich colorways that encourage optical depth and aid in the design of warmer spaces, the collection’s sweeping color gradation creates an ombre effect. Dichroic is available in both facet and 24 x 24-inch tiles to offer a variety of installation options.

“The soft visual of the Dichroic collection develops from tonal stripes that fade and shift across a space, mimicking the subtle variation of a felted texture to create a beautiful ombre effect,” said Shannon Cochran, vice president of creative and design, Patcraft. “The Patcraft design team sought to design a collection that resembles the effect of glass transparency. The two different shapes play with optical perceptions using a series of solid gradients.”

Dichroic is an innovative product featuring a multilayer, non-woven composite produced from plastic waste to create a felt-like construction. By utilizing recycled plastic bottles that have been converted into PET fiber, Dichroic has approximately 70% recycled content (both post-consumer and post-industrial), which is equivalent to 18 (0.5L) bottles in each 24 x 24-inch tile. Products are Cradle to Cradle Certified Bronzeand are backed by Patcraft’s Environmental Guarantee specifying that the company will reclaim and recycle the product at the end of its useful life.

The Dichroic collection combines shape and color for multiple design options that support color blocking and zoning spaces within commercial interiors. The rich polyester face fiber contributes to enhancing sound absorption, and the collection is designed and tested to meet Patcraft’s high standard for performance flooring. Dichroic is constructed with EcoWorx backing, and products are backed with limited lifetime warranties against stain, colorfastness to light, static and abrasive wear for maximum performance and appearance retention.
