Alternative Flooring, specialists in carpets, rugs and runners, is highlighting three of its commercial-approved collections, designed with durability and lasting performance in mind.
The Wool Tweed, Echo-CoRE and Anywhere collections offer premium design supported by robust performance credentials, meeting the practical requirements of today’s commercial environments. Developed with key considerations such as footfall, fire safety and ongoing maintenance in mind, these flooring solutions are ideal for high-traffic spaces, including restaurants, spas, hotels, and residential housing.
Wool Tweed
Made from 100% wool fibre, Wool Tweed is inherently hard-wearing, naturally soil-resistant and comfortable underfoot, making it a confident choice for designers and specifiers looking for flooring options that genuinely stand the test of time.
With a fire rating of Bfl-s1 and Class 33 Heavy Contract wear rating, Wool Tweed delivers the durability required without compromising on safety or style. Featuring a tightly looped finish and subtle speckled design, the collection is available in six neutral shades.
Echo-CoRE
As the UK’s first fully recyclable floor covering for the home, the Echo-CoRE collection represents a significant step forward in sustainable flooring.
The yarn, fibre and backing are all made from the same smart source – 100% polyester – eliminating the industry’s biggest sustainability challenge: the complex and costly separation of materials.
Thoughtfully crafted and consciously designed, Echo-CoRE maintains circularity even after installation. When the carpet reaches the end of its first life, it’s collected, cleaned and reduced back into its purest form. This material is then transformed into granulate, ready to be reborn – a process that can be repeated again and again.
Echo-CoRE combines leading air quality marks such as Eurofins Gold and Blue Angel with 10 versatile shades to suit a wide range of interior schemes. With its strong environmental credentials, it’s an ideal choice for commercial projects where circularity is key.
Anywhere
The Anywhere collection is an indoor-outdoor carpet made from 100% polypropylene. With the added benefit of being suitable for almost anywhere – including external areas – it combines the textural appearance of sisal with the flexibility of a fully adaptable flooring solution that offers easy cleaning and maintenance.
Available in six different finishes, including herringbone and panama weaves, the collection offers excellent durability, low maintenance and strong design versatility. With a Class 33 Heavy Contract wear rating, it’s particularly well suited to commercial interiors such as hotels, offices and housing projects.
Richard Hackett, Sales Director at Alternative Flooring comments: “We understand how important practicality is when it comes to flooring solutions for commercial spaces, that’s why Wool Tweed, Echo-CoRE and Anywhere offer durability and ease of maintenance, without compromising on design or style. Carpets, whether fully fitted, or crafted as rugs and runners, bring warmth and comfort to a space and play a vital role in wider interior schemes where footfall, cleaning requirements and environmental credentials influence every decision. Each of these collections performs exceptionally well in communal areas and have been thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of our commercial audiences.”
Alternative Flooring offers its whole collection as fully fitted carpets or as customised rugs or runners via the Make Me A Rug service. For projects requiring something truly individual, Alternative Flooring’s expert team can develop fully bespoke rug and runner designs, offering the adaptability that busy commercial spaces require.
