As living, breathing beings on a living, breathing planet, our health is deeply intertwined with the environment around us. Tarkett, a global leader in flooring solutions, understands this connection and is dedicated to improve our environment. This commitment is embodied in their DESSO AirMaster® carpet tiles, a product designed not just for aesthetics and comfort, but to improve human and environmental well-being. Part of Tarkett’s Human-Conscious Design® philosophy, these innovative carpet tiles offer a solution to the pressing issue of the indoor air quality in both residential or commercial spaces.
The Air We Breathe
On average, people spend about 90% of their time indoors, taking approximately 25,000 breaths each day. However, most indoor environments have air pollutant levels that are 2 to 5 times higher than those found outdoors. Among the various pollutants present in indoor air, particulate matter (PM) is rather concerning. These microscopic particles of dust and dirt can be inhaled deep into the lungs, causing a range of respiratory and cardiovascular issues.
PM is typically divided into two size categories: PM10 (particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter) and PM2.5 (particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter). Both can have significant adverse effects on health, emphasizing the importance of reducing these pollutants in indoor spaces.
Tarkett’s Solution: DESSO AirMaster®
To address this problem, Tarkett developed the DESSO AirMaster® carpet tiles. These tiles use patented technology to capture and retain fine dust particles far more effectively than traditional flooring options. In fact, they are 8 times more effective at capturing fine dust than smooth floors and 4 times more effective than standard carpets. This ability to clear the air creates a healthier indoor environment, contributing to the well-being of both people and the planet.
Aesthetic Versatility
In addition to its functional benefits, the DESSO AirMaster® collection offers a wide range of design options to suit any interior space concept. The updated palette includes 9 rich colours and 9 neutral shades, providing versatility for various design schemes. Each colour option is available with different textural designs, from the subtle lines of the Classic option to the dramatic depth of Earth and the tonal texture of Sphere.
This combination of performance and aesthetics ensures that the DESSO AirMaster® carpet tiles are not only an environmentally conscious choice but also a stylish one
