Tessera Topology

76% recycled carpet tiles in Thrive matter carbon negative yarn — the highest in Tessera.

Forbo Tessera Topology carpet tiles installed

Topology carries 76% total recycled content, the highest figure of any Tessera range. It is made in Thrive® matter by Universal Fibers® — a 100% solution dyed nylon 6 with 90% recycled content that the fibre producer describes as carbon negative.

700 g/m² over 6.4mm in a multi-pile-height loop, with 27 dB impact sound reduction and a continuous castor chair rating. This is not a lightweight eco compromise — it is one of the denser tiles Tessera makes.

Thirteen colourways. Where a project has both a recycled-content threshold and a real durability brief, Topology and its sister range Twine are the two Tessera products that answer both without argument.

Supply & fit

Fitting Topology 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 Topology 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.
