Tessera Inline

Linear multi-height loop carpet tiles in polyamide 6, eleven colourways.

Forbo Tessera Inline carpet tiles installed

Inline builds a directional linear texture out of loop height. Laid monolithically it reads as a continuous grain across the whole floor; quarter-turned it breaks into a woven basket-weave. One tile, two completely different floors, decided at installation.

100% polyamide 6 at 605 g/m² and 6.5mm, 62% total recycled content, 25 dB sound reduction, Class 33 with continuous castor chair use.

That layout sensitivity is worth flagging to whoever writes the specification. A directional tile laid the wrong way is an expensive thing to discover at handover — name the laying pattern in the clause, not just the product.

Supply & fit

Fitting Inline 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 Inline 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.
