WIELAND GLEICH – ARCHIGRAPHY.COM 1. Multi-Level Loop Pile This category offers the largest selection of patterned textured graphics that will add interesting texture to heavy commercial floors. From traditional stripes to graduated shading, mottled marks or water imprints to elegant filigree, dramatic ‘Matrix’ barcode lines to geometric circles and squares that hide soiling, multi-level loop pile carpets allow you to play with different pile heights within 23 different ranges to create the pattern and texture of your choice. Various contemporary colourways, made from 100% Stainproof SDX allow you to alter the appearance of your carpet by selecting different patterns, pile heights and lay directions. 2. Tufted Cut-Pile Plush velours add cushioned luxury with their blunt upright fibres which are sometimes affected by ‘shading’ when light reflects on the pile lying in different directions. From bold stripes to softly speckled ‘salt ‘n pepper’ duotone combinations, cut-pile tiles are ideal for boardrooms and executive offices, hotel suites and audio-visual centres for their underfoot warmth and comfort. Five different ranges with versatile colour combinations can be tweaked to your personal preference. 3. Tufted Loop-Pile These ranges offer durable, hardwearing floors with a dense, tightly-knit surface that retain their appearance and withstand excessive wear and tear. Five subtle designs including thick or thin stripes in contrasting colours that can be changed according to brief, scratched or scored pin-stripes, solid and speckled colours, individual loop pile tufted tiles are ideal for high traffic areas such as hallways, reception areas, and open-plan offices where damaged or worn tiles can easily be replaced. Advertorial MIX ‘N MATCH PATTERNS AND COLOURS Each different category offers a number of patterns and designs that can be adapted to particular colour schemes or décor concepts in the latest contemporary shades. Using multi-scroll loop piles, add texture or add an accent colour in that twirl to pick up certain accessories, accentuate step-and-repeat patterns with hi-low or level-cut-loop variations to hide soiling in high traffic areas, or play with monochromatic shades for sophisticated simplicity. LAY DIRECTIONS FOR DESIGN EFFECTS Different lay patterns can be used to dramatic effect by placing tiles in different directions to one another including monolithic (single direction), tessellated (at right angles to each other) and ashlar (bricklay formation), depending on the design chosen. STRIKE OFF Once we’ve agreed on your particular design, you will be shown the overall appearance of the design applied digitally to a large area to demonstrate the effect of the pattern repeat, different installation directions and colour matching and texture ‘in situ’ through various digital visualisations of the carpet. Then we will produce a ‘strike off’ sample for final approval. Following this approval, production will be planned and delivery dates and minimum quantities will be ordered. Bear in mind, minimum quantities apply as follows: 500m2 for loop pile and multi-level loop pile tiles and 750m2 for cut-pile tiles. Also discuss overages and attic stock to ensure you have stock for replacements. CONTACT 033 897 7500 - Head Office 021 763 6900 - Cape Town 011 380 9300 - Johannesburg www.belgotexfloors.co.za 75
