 design is... comfort
Ninety-two percent of teachers believe general classroom design has a strong impact on students’ learning and achievement. Designing for comfort is a key component in classroom design to achieve an effective learning environment. Noise levels, aesthetics, temperature regulation, eye strain, and leg fatigue all contribute to the comfort of the classroom. Carpet plays a key role in addressing these issues.
- Carpet is proven to reduce noise which enables students to focus
- Carpet is 10 times more efficient in airborne noise reduction than any other flooring
- Carpet improves room aesthetics, which positively impacts student performance
- A carpeted interior provides visual comfort and gives both actual and visual warmth
- Carpet reduces glare, which is a common distraction to students and teachers
- Carpet helps prevent leg fatigue

design is provocative
before it answers questions—it has to raise a few.
is a designer’s primary purpose to create beauty, to elicit a reaction, or to enhance function?
where is the line between cohesive and repetitive?
when is a floor more than just a floor? does carpet limit possibilities, or create them?
dressed to kill has always been high style.
now it's been redesigned to be flexible enough for any mood,
any environment, any area within that environment. each pattern in the collection has been designed to collaborate with the others. vivid color partners with understated elegance. you can even customize it to your specifications. it answers your questions as it challenges you to consider many more possibilities. |
