Backing systems


Backing Systems














Carpet backing plays a vital role in maintaining the life and appearance of a carpet. Traditional jute backings were complicated to install, proved vulnerable to the elements and often required intensive maintenance. All Nexus primary and secondary backing systems are constructed from new generation synthetic fibres that provide superior performance in the commercial environment.

NexBac Component Layers
 
A thermally bonded, spunlaid, nonwoven primary backing with a polyester core and nylon 6 skin. This is also used as the primary backing system for Nexus patterned carpets. It provides NexBac with its unrivalled dimensional stability, excellent pile anchorage and pile orientation, with reduced visibility of joins.

A latex pre-coat gives the tile its stiffness, locking in fibre tufts and preventing fraying.

Bitumen adds mass, enhances dimensional stability and prevents buckling or bending.

A glass fibre scrim acts like steel in concrete reinforcing the structural stability of the tile.

A secondary backing provides a neat finish and superior lay flat characteristics.
