- GlasBac®
Graphlex® and Glasbac® the Market Leading Modular Flooring Backing Systems
These two backings ensure lay-flat and maximum dimensional stability thanks to their perfectly controlled manufacturing technique and the integration of layers of fibreglass.
Graphlex® and GlasBac® backings offer the following advantages:
– Appearance: Precise cutting with cleaner edges which allow tiles to fit together perfectly, giving the effect of a broadloom carpet.
– Stability: The integration of fibreglass layers for optimal dimensional stability.
– Dissipation of static electricity:
• Graphlex® incorporates Computerguard technology, which allows static electricity to be dissipated and meets the required European and world standards in ensuring a vertical resistance of ≤109 Ohms.
• GlasBac® contains conductive material throughout to attain this performance standard- Graphlex®
Graphlex® the Market Leading Modular Flooring Backing System
Graphlex® is Interface’s high-performance bitumen-based backing system, used as standard on most carpet tiles in our range.
This backing ensures lay-flat and maximum dimensional stability thanks to its perfectly controlled manufacturing technique and the integration of layers of fibreglass.

– Dissipation of static electricity:
• Graphlex® incorporates Computerguard technology, which allows static electricity to be dissipated and meets the required European and world standards in ensuring a vertical resistance of ≤109 Ohms.
– Recycled content: Graphlex® uses a high proportion of recycled material, increasing the overall recycled content of the carpet tile.- GUT
GUT tests and improves carpet to ensure environmental friendliness and consumer protection at every stage of the carpet’s life-cycle. Every GUT monitored carpet is tested on the absence of pollutants, odour, and emissions to assure a good indoor air quality and consequently safe usage. Compliance with these criteria is scrutinized and controlled for every product for the consumers’ well being.
