Backings That Give Back
We are on a mission to lower the carbon footprint of your space. To do this, we have transformed our global backing systems with the launch of our CQuest™ backings.
First, we added new bio-based materials and more recycled content to our backings. Then, we measured how these materials influence the carbon footprint. These new materials, measured on a stand-alone basis, are net carbon negative – reducing our carbon footprint and resulting in carbon negative backings.
We are moving away from the status quo and toward carbon negative.
Carpet Tile Backings
GlasBac™, our original vinyl backing, set the industry standard for performance. Guided by materials science, we’ve added new thinking and innovative new materials to our backings. Get to know our entire backing portfolio, each equipped to meet your needs.
CQuestGB
CQuestBio
CQuestBioX
GlasBac
CushionBac Renew
ReadyBac
CQuestGB
A new and improved version of the GlasBac backing, CQuestGB features the same superior performance with a construction of post-consumer carpet tiles, bio-based additives, and pre consumer recycled materials, which are net carbon negative.
CQuestBio
The CQuestBio is a non-vinyl backing made with biopolymers and bio-based and recycled fibers, which are net carbon negative.
CQuestBioX
The CQuestBioX is our most sustainable backing with the same material make-up as CQuestBio, but with a higher concentration of carbon negative materials.
GlasBac
GlasBac, our original vinyl backing, set the industry standard for performance and is the basis for our CQuestGB backing. This backing is available while quantities last.
CushionBac Renew
Our CushionBac Renew™ backing features a 21 oz. felt cushion that provides high performance, high recycled content, a lower carbon footprint, greater underfoot comfort and increased sound absorption.
ReadyBac
Made to handle your high moisture projects, ReadyBac™ features our high performance GlasBac backing with a 4 oz. attached felt cushion. The cushion adds comfort underfoot and directs moisture away from the floor's substrate, providing protection for up to 99% RH with a pH of 8.0-12/0.
