School of Thought
1503 Orchard Hill Road LaGrange, GA 30240
Where students learn matters. That’s why Interface is your perfect partner. You’re looking for affordable, practical, more sustainable products to enhance your learning environment. We’re making them for you.
We’re proud to support the U.S. Green Building Council’s Center for Green Schools to help drive the transformation of schools into sustainable and healthy places to live, learn, work and play. As the world’s largest manufacturer of glue-free, climate-neutral carpet tile for schools, colleges and universities, Interface sets the standard for flooring innovation in education.
And now we have new formats to inspire your students and staff: planks and skinny planks. We’ve gone beyond the square and expanded our design platform with new rectangular options that fit seamlessly into our modular program. These new formats allow for endless design combinations and patterns, alone or together, in new or existing installations.
Like all Interface flooring, our newest shapes are easy to maintain and install, with very little waste. They’re smart products that provide exceptional value and outstanding benefits, including a lower environmental footprint. We invite you to explore these new options and see how we can meet the needs of your institution.

We know you’ve come to expect great things from our i2® Cubic™ and Cubic Colours™ square tiles. Now you can augment your existing design with planks and skinny planks in our i2 format — our standard in the education market.
Like Cubic and Cubic Colours, our i2 planks and skinny planks create a unique floor every time. No two tiles are exactly alike. No worries about mixing old and new dye lots either. Variations in color and pattern allow our i2 products to merge and
blend well, even years after original installation.
And because our modular system is based on a common 25 cm increment, our planks, skinny planks and squares all fit together into an infinite number of patterns. Whether you’re replacing tiles in a high-traffic area, identifying a particular space with a different flooring design or driving a new traffic pattern, a mix of planks, skinny planks and squares makes it simple.

Composition counts. A bold grid equals reading rug. A mash-up of mosaics adds up to student lounge. An intricate pattern sums up sophistication in your hallowed hallways.
All Interface carpet tiles — planks, skinny planks and squares — are based on the same 25 cm measurement, so they all work together as components of the patterns you choose.
This modularity allows for endless options, whatever statement you’re making about a particular space.
For example, just like wood flooring or ceramic tile, planks and skinny planks create a visual texture. In larger spaces, they can create beautiful borders or unique herringbone patterns within a field. Add in squares for even more pattern options. The result? A flooring design that’s uniquely yours, suited to your school’s needs. in

At Interface, we believe that where our students learn matters. That’s why we’re proud to support Green Apple, an initiative from the Center for Green Schools at the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Green Apple is a global movement to put all children in healthy, high-performing and sustainable schools within this generation. This goes hand-in-hand with our own Mission Zero®, which keeps us focused on eliminating all of our environmental impacts by 2020.
Last year, we were excited to participate in USGBC’s first Green Apple Day of Service. Interface associates around the world invested hundreds of volunteer hours in dozens of service projects from classroom facelifts to gardening. We look forward to supporting more Green Apple events in the years to come.

Installing Interface squares and planks is simple. Our revolutionary installation system, TacTiles®, adheres the tiles to one another to create a “floating floor”, which means quick installation, removal and replacement.
What’s more, TacTiles require no glue, create no mess, and generate virtually no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This means you can install or replace tiles in seconds, even during school hours. Plus, TacTiles generate less waste during installation and have an environmental footprint that’s more than 90% lower than traditional glue.
