Tessera Outline
Low loop pile carpet tiles in eight bold colourways at 5.8mm.
Outline is the accent range to Layout's field. Eight colourways — Bubblegum among them — in the same low loop pile construction, the same 5.8mm build height and the same 62% recycled content, so the two ranges are designed to be laid together.
580 g/m² in 100% polyamide 6, 27 dB impact sound reduction, Class 33 heavy commercial with continuous castor chair use.
The intended use is zoning: a Layout field with Outline marking collaboration areas, breakout, or a route through a large floorplate. One construction, one build height, one line on the O&M schedule, two visual registers.
