Lloyds TSB fits Tessera
Lloyds TSB has installed carpet tiles from Tessera’s Helix, Optimum Chroma and Weave ranges to enhance its prestigious offices at Gresham Street, London.
The three-floor refurbishment incorporates Tessera carpet tiles from Bonar Floors, which have been used around the building to add distinctive touches to the overall look. Helix, designed for an understated linear appearance, was used in the large open plan office spaces to provide textural and visual interest. The range is manufactured from Antron metallic yarn combined with solution-dyed yarn, which gives the textured loop pile a distinct reflective quality.
In smaller, segmented areas such the meeting rooms, Optimum Chroma manufactured from Antron Supra yarn, was used due to its durable properties and performance. The cut pile tile, which comes in 80 solid shades of natural, earthy and vibrant tones, provided a contrast to the highly designed Helix.
To complete the installation, Weave textured loop pile tiles with superb wear performance and resistance to fading and stains were placed in the gym areas. Weave encompasses fine and high level loops, randomly packed together. Available in 18 earthy shades, the tiles have an organic texture that makes a striking floor covering.
Commenting on the use of Tessera tiles, Peter Ruse from Tyndale Contractors says: “The latest installation for Lloyds TSB clearly demonstrates the versatility of Tessera’s carpet tile range. Both Weave and Helix are highly designed tiles that look striking in large areas and have been used to their full potential in the refurbished office spaces and large gymnasium with the contrasting solid appearance of Optimum Chroma in the meeting rooms.
