  • Ultimate versatility in design

    The unrivalled versatility of Supacord allows designs to be created due to the ability of Supacord to be precisely cut without fear of ravelling or fraying . Through the use of Supacord, designated areas can be clearly defined by the flooring and the multitude of colours allows the floor to make a design statement.

  • Special colours available for areas over 500m2

    With 40 standard colours available, there is a huge range to choose from and there is sure to be something to suit your needs. However, we understand the need for very specific projects to have exact colours. If you require a large area of carpet for a specialised project, we will work closely with you to create a colour match to suit your specification.. Contact us to discuss this service.

  • Antistatic

    Static is a naturally occurring, very high voltage, electrical charge that can occur through friction with normal carpets, as a result it will shorten the life of hardware.

  • Anti-slip

    Slips account for 33% of reported injuries and cost employers approximately £512 million a year according to the HSE. It’s no surprise then that health and safety dictates every traffic route in a school and workplace should be anti-slip. Supacord is designed specifically with anti-slip qualities to offer a safe commercial flooring that is perfect for walkways, corridors and stairs.

  • Flexible installation options

    Available in 2 metre and 4 metre wide sheet material as well as 50 x 50cm carpet tiles, this provides maximum flexibility in installation and helps minimise waste. Supacord is simple to transport and install in any building. Adhering to the floor uses standard glues and tackifiers, all of which are readily available and commonly used by flooring contractors. We advise a recommended flooring contractor with a good reputation should install all Supacord products.

  • Acoustic properties reduce noise pollution

    Acoustics are an important consideration in any environment, especially public spaces, classrooms and libraries. Installing Supacord will reduce noise levels, effectively cutting the sound of footsteps and ambient noise such as telephones and voices. By effectively absorbing sound, it helps create a more positive learning environment in any education building.

  • Thermal properties conserve heat

    Whether you are designing a school or a library, one of your requirements will no doubt be heat and energy efficiency. Supacord offers thermal properties that conserve heat which in comparison to wood, tile and slate, feels warmer underfoot, effectively providing an additional layer of insulation on the floor surface.
