Tessera Diffusion
Multi-height loop carpet tiles in Universal Fibers Refresh recycled polyamide 6.6.
Diffusion is made in Universal Fibers&sm; Refresh™ polyamide 6.6 — a recycled 6.6 nylon, which is a harder thing to produce than recycled PA6 and a better fibre for abrasion resistance. 66% total recycled content, and it does not trade durability for it.
570 g/m² at 6.5mm in a multi-height loop, Class 33 heavy commercial, continuous castor chair rating, 23 dB impact sound reduction.
Ten colourways — a deliberately tight palette. Diffusion is specified where the floor is meant to recede and the sustainability credentials are meant to stand up to scrutiny, rather than where the design is doing the talking.

Fitting Diffusion 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.

Because Diffusion 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.
