Tessera Accord

Multi-pile-height loop carpet tiles in solution dyed polyamide, 24 dB sound reduction.

Forbo Tessera Accord carpet tiles installed

Accord is Tessera's quiet workhorse — a multi-pile-height loop in 100% solution dyed polyamide 6 that builds its surface interest out of loop height rather than colour contrast, so it reads as texture from standing height and as a plain from the doorway.

605 g/m² over 6.4mm, 61% total recycled content, and 24 dB impact sound reduction — which is where Accord earns its name. In a multi-storey office or a school corridor, that figure is the difference between footfall you notice and footfall you don't.

Solution dyeing puts the pigment into the polymer before the fibre is extruded, so the colour runs through the filament rather than sitting on it. Twelve colourways, all of them bleach-cleanable and UV-stable.

Supply & fit

Fitting Accord in the UK

DCTUK’s Forbo fitting service covers site survey and subfloor moisture testing, latex screeding and preparation, uplift and recycling of existing floorcoverings, and installation by employed fitting teams — out of hours and in phases where a building has to stay open. Free survey within 72 hours, fixed pricing, and a 12 month fitting warranty.

Because Accord is a tile, damaged units can be lifted and replaced individually years into the building’s life. Keep one to two boxes per colourway from the original production batch as attic stock.
