Eco-design is a deliberate manufacturing policy that integrates environmental criteria into the design process and anticipates end-of-life recycling. The aim is to limit at source the negative impacts human activity has on the environment. Part of the international group, Associated Weavers, BALSAN, the leading French manufacturer produces textile roll carpets and carpet tiles that provide the perfect response to the HQE (High Environmental Quality) approach and benefit from the Gut environmental label.
A first advantage of Eco-design is that it involves a fundamental rethinking of the product to make it more ‘sustainable’. The second advantage of Eco-design for the manufacturer is that it involves rethinking energy-intensive processes or those, which generate waste, and thus helps rethink the entire manufacturing system. One of the main benefits for the user is that Eco-Design makes using the product more sustainable and socially responsible. While meeting these objectives can be problematic, BALSAN, which is a member of GUT (the European Association for the manufacture of environmentally friendly carpets), is committed to rapidly basing its product lines on Eco-Design principles, in accordance with its HQE approach.
BALSAN proposes a complete range of high quality carpets, with 2000 references, in broadloom carpets and carpet tiles, and develops an infinity of colours and textures both for building and hospitality contract professionals and for the residential market, in France and abroad. Created to become the new aesthetic expression of your textile floors, the Design Concept collection by Balsan has a fabulous potential for personalisation with surprising harmonies of colour and refined or more exuberant timeless graphics. The standard collection offers trendy designs, structures and colours to create a truly personalised floor decoration, which plays an essential role and makes it possible for everyone to live their emotions and express their sensitivity. Design Concept offers you the original solutions and gives you the opportunity to equip in a different way rooms and corridors, foyers, restaurants, offices, stores, shops, museums.
Textile carpets made with new-generation fibres. Easy to maintain and clean, these carpets enjoy optimum protection against dust mites and bacteria with Balsan’s SilverCare®. They are also certified sustainable, as they are made from 100% recycled fibres, and enjoy an Optimum grade environmental ranking. There are two products in this collection. LUXE collection is described as the elegance and simplicity characterised in 100% dyed Econyl nylon, 1500g and this collection is available in a range of 12 sophisticated colours. While on the other hand, CALME collection stands for resting and relaxation that characterise this curled Saxony carpet in 100% dyed Econyl nylon, 1100g.
Balsan is reinventing carpets by giving them a new function: guiding the steps of those that tread on them. Indeed, putting these tiles together creatively is especially recommended, to organise foot traffic flows or mark out signs.
