Enia Tecsom carpet tiles have been chosen for a new business innovation forum at Salford Innovation Park (SIP), next to Salford University, proving that a 'green' floor doesn't have to cost the earth. The business incubator at SIP is positioned in the only - and most highly rated 6* Built and Human Environment (BuHu) research institute in Britain. Design, practicality and environmental considerations all had to be balanced when choosing the floor covering. Tecsom Decostructure tiles met all the criteria and offered the highest possible 'A' rating on 'The Green Guide to Specification' by the BRE - at no additional cost. DecoStructure is a multi level tufted tile available in loop pile and cut and loop options, manufactured on a system unique to Enia Tecsom. This makes it possible to create an unparalleled broadloom effect in all directions with any pattern, yet still retain the flexibility of a tile.

When a new photon science building opened at The University of Manchester, the designers were looking for a very specific floor covering. Enia's Tescom Prima carpet tiles were chosen because they met the environmental and functional demands of this landmark building. With its unique architectural design, the new Alan Turing Building makes an imposing structural statement on Upper Brook Street. All the building materials, including the carpet tiles, were carefully selected for their low environmental impact in line with the university's green policy pledges. Almost 9,000m² of Prima in black was fitted throughout the teaching and admin areas of the building. The company's state of the art tile cutting system has succeeded in creating a seamless finish with superb broadloom look.

To create a stimulating interior for a new school in Sunderland, Tecsom Prima, a loop pile carpet tile from Enia was used. The collection has been fitted in many areas of the school, including classrooms, circulation areas, a fitness room, theatre, reception and the feature staircase in the main entrance.
