Composure

Tufted structured loop pile carpet tile with a non-directional pattern inspired by natural rock formations. Subtle tonal movement across a broad palette of neutrals, chalky pastels and brights, designed to flow across large floor areas without a visible lay direction.

The umbrella declaration covers tufted modular carpet tiles with CQuest Bio backing, PA6 pile with 75% recycled content, up to 1000 g/m² total pile weight. The staged 2.94 kgCO2e comes from the GUT/PRODIS data sheet for Composure CQuest Bio at 365 g/m² surface pile weight; LCA results scale linearly with pile weight, so the figure holds only for that construction. The declaration is additionally valid only while a current GUT/PRODIS licence for the product exists — a condition that expires independently of the 2030 date.

adds carbon stores or removes EPD scenario* reuse/recycling potential (D)
* EPD transport and installation scenario, not this project's. Module D shows potential impacts or benefits from reuse, recovery or recycling after the product's assessed life. It is reported separately and never added to A-C. Do not compare bar lengths between materials. Each chart may use a different scale and declared unit.

* A4/A5 are EPD scenarios, not project-specific results. Module D is outside the A–C system boundary and is not added to A–C. Module nomenclature follows BS EN 15978 / EN 15804. Declared values are suitable as inputs to a whole life carbon assessment under the RICS Professional Standard (2nd edition); this panel is not an assessment.

A1–A3 2.94 + A4 0.297 + A5 0.253 · GWP-total, as declared

* Includes the EPD’s A4/A5 scenario assumptions, not project-specific transport or installation. This is the aggregation the proposed Part Z applies upfront limits to. The A1–A3 figure includes declared biogenic storage of -1.32 kgCO₂e; Part Z aggregates upfront carbon excluding sequestered carbon, which is the assessor's adjustment to make.

Service Life — the B4 Replacement Input

15 years · EPD reference service life

≈4 installations over a 60-year building study period.

B4 (replacement) follows the building, not the product: an assessor multiplies replacement cycles by project quantities. This record supplies the service life and does not compute B4.

Comparison Status

The record contains the basic metadata required for a controlled comparison. Products must still perform the same function and use compatible units, PCRs and lifecycle scope.

Design & Specification Notes

Qualitative notes for early design discussion. Not product-specific EPD evidence, and not a basis for numerical comparison.

Tufted structured loop pile carpet tile with a non-directional pattern inspired by natural rock formations.

Typical Uses

  • Primary flooring
  • High-traffic circulation
  • Work areas

Key Performance

Hard-wearing surface for high footfall.

Specification Actions

  • Confirm the current EPD covers the selected product, finish and manufacturing route.
  • Calculate transport distances for primary materials.
  • Document material reuse or reclaimed content percentages.

Indicative Health & Indoor Air

low Risk

Solution dyed nylon on a CQuest™Bio backing. Compliant with French A+ and M1 emission classes; glue-free TacTiles® installation avoids adhesive VOCs.
