1 No More Glue The Next Generation of Installation

2 Glue-Free breathe easier with TacTiles Introducing a glue-free world with TacTiles. InterfaceFLOR pioneered flooring flexibility with modular carpet. And now we have developed the next generation in installation, replacement and reclamation.

3 TacTiles is a 75mm by 75mm square of plastic film, coated with adhesive on one side. Tactiles is made from chemically inert Polymer, the same plastic used in soft drink bottles. Because TacTiles contains no liquid components, using them virtually eliminates the issue of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). So they can be installed almost anywhere, anytime making carpet installation convenient for you. No More Glue and I m free to work without disruption

4 No More Glue and I m in control With TacTiles, you can create a durable installation of InterfaceFLOR carpet tiles over your existing floor* without permanent adhesion. TacTiles adheres tiles to one another, creating a floating floor making for easy installation, removal and replacement. So whether you re updating the entire 17th floor, creating an area rug or replacing a couple of tiles, you ll get dimensional strength with individual flexibility. Whereas with non-releasable full spread glues, tiles are permanently stuck to the floors, and thus require digging up the carpet when it s time to replace. Even with releasable adhesive, this may damage the substrate beneath, leaving battle scars no floor should endure. Not to mention, it doesn t give you the freedom and control that a glue-free modular carpet can provide. *Not recommended for installation over existing carpet. Be sure to test for moisture and apply a barrier coat as needed. Refer to InterfaceFLOR TacTiles Installation Instructions for details. Unlike non-releasable full spread glue, TacTiles does not require digging up the flooring for removal and replacement, thus alleviating future labor cost and potential damage to existing substrates.

Only InterfaceFLOR s 30 plus years of freelay backing capabilities can provide the groundwork for TacTiles revolutionary installation system.

5 Only InterfaceFLOR s 30 plus years of freelay backing capabilities can provide the groundwork for TacTiles revolutionary installation system. With more than 30 years of proven performance, InterfaceFLOR s dimensionally stable backing has stood the test of time. It s the backbone of functionality, strength and freedom. And it s infused with Intersept, a patented antimicrobial preservative built into the carpet to protect it against mold, mildew, bacteria and odor-causing microorganisms.

6 No More Glue and I m stronger than ever The TacTile system provides a blanket of strength while maintaining individual tile flexibility. These plastic squares, though small, can withstand even the heaviest abuse. Also, when laying InterfaceFLOR s tiles with TacTiles on delicate floors like wood, granite or marble, the carpet tiles can be laid and removed without damaging the original floor. This floating floor means there is no more scraping, digging or harsh chemicals just lift and remove.

At InterfaceFLOR, every creative, manufacturing and building decision we make is intended to move us closer to our Mission Zero initiative of eliminating any negative impact our company could have on

7 At InterfaceFLOR, every creative, manufacturing and building decision we make is intended to move us closer to our Mission Zero initiative of eliminating any negative impact our company could have on the environment. That s why we created our ReEntry Carpet Reclamation program. All InterfaceFLOR vinyl-backed carpet tiles can be reclaimed, reused or repurposed through this program, ensuring there ll be less landfill waste. InterfaceFLOR easily recycles its reclaimed carpet, including TacTiles, to generate new carpet tile backing for future generations while reducing its dependency on natural resources. In fact, use of TacTiles, instead of traditional glue, results in a reduction in the environmental footprint of more than 90 percent. TacTiles and InterfaceFLOR carpet tiles can be reused or recycled through InterfaceFLOR s ReEntry Carpet Reclamation Program. No More Glue and the world is a better place
