Tessera Struktur 1

Textured carpet tiles at 7.1mm in a deliberately light 350 g/m² construction.

Forbo Tessera Struktur 1 carpet tiles installed

Struktur 1 is the outlier in the Tessera range and deliberately so: 350 g/m² of face fibre over a 7.1mm total build. Most of the thickness is structure rather than pile, which produces a firm, textured, almost architectural surface.

100% polyamide 6 with 65% total recycled content, Class 33 heavy commercial, continuous castor chair rating. The 17 dB sound figure is lower than the plusher Tessera loops — Struktur is not the range to specify where acoustics are the brief.

Eighteen colourways, several of them carrying Nordic names. Where it earns its place is underfoot firmness and a surface that reads as a considered material rather than as carpet.

Supply & fit

Fitting Struktur 1 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 Struktur 1 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.
