INTERFACE FLOR

When we had a clear idea when it was the biomimicry, we visited the manufacture of carpets, "INTERFACE FLOR". The factory showed us how to develop a product of an environment friendly manner.

First showed us how the fabric produced will be the future carpet. To do this, thousands of interwoven threads of wool into a machine.

Once created the fabric of the carpet stuck to a glass fiber matrix. This was made in two processes difenrenciados (Backing 1 and Backing 2). In this area was not possible to hold photos.
A characteristic of these carpets is that they are antistatic, because these carpets are used in places with computer.

The next stop was the area where the carpets were cut into squares for easy placement in the destination.
Once cut the carpets were packed and transported on pallets.

Finally, we visited the laboratory where different samples of the carpets produced were subjected to various tests to check its quality, ie their response to different common stocks every day.

After the visitors return to our class to continue our work in groups.
