EcoLogix: Our Breathable Solution

EcoLogix® is our revolutionary backing system that allows the product to breathe and moisture to rise and evaporate through the seams of the tile, alleviating most slab-based moisture concerns.

EcoLogix® carpet tile cushion backing is Cradle to Cradle Certified® Bronze and a sustainable alternative to urethane and PVC cushion backings. Made with 100% post-consumer recycled content, each square yard contains approximately 56 recycled PET plastic bottles. With four times better lamination strength, it resists compression for lasting comfort, support and ergonomic benefits. Its breathable design allows moisture to evaporate through tile seams, helping alleviate most slab-based moisture concerns. EcoLogix also enhances acoustics, improving both floor-to-floor and in-room sound absorption compared to standard carpet tile and hard surface flooring. EcoLogix tile is an approved backing option available on 90% of Shaw Contract carpet tile styles (no overages, 150 yard minimum).

Features + Benefits

Moisture Management

EcoLogix® is a breathable backing that allows moisture to rise and evaporate through the seams of the tile, alleviating most slab-based moisture concerns.

Cradle to Cradle Certified™

Designed and assessed for environmental and social performance across five critical sustainability categories: material health, material reuse, renewable energy and carbon management, water stewardship, and social fairness.

Reducing Plastic Waste Stream

EcoLogix® backing is NSF 140 Platinum certified and uses 100% post-consumer recycled PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic bottles to help consume waste plastics into a beautiful solution.

Comfort Underfoot

Constructed for underfoot comfort, the cushion backing provides support with unmatched durability and ergonomic benefits.

Improved Acoustics

Sound can negatively impact building occupants—that is why EcoLogix® tile was designed to decrease floor to floor impact sound (IIC ratings) and absorb in-room sound (SAA ratings) more than standard carpet tile and hard surfaces.

Indoor Air Quality

People spend 90% of their time indoors, making these environments critical to our wellbeing. EcoLogix® is Green Label Plus (GLP) Certified, meeting the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) indoor air quality standards for low emitting products.
