Nood is thrilled to announce the introduction of Nexterra as a new backing system for modular products. After much deliberation, we have decided to partner with Beaulieu of America and endorse their Nexterra backing technology for all of our commercial products. We will be keeping Envirocel Modular Laminate as a viable option for future introductions of modular products for residential applications. The short term reality is that effective immediately, all modular tile orders will have Nexterra applied and will only be available in 24”x24” tiles. Briks(24”x48”) will no longer be offered on existing commercial styles.

We now offer a NON-PVC, traditional hard back system in 24”x24” tiles called Nexterra. It is commonly used in the industry and is also endorsed by companies like Bolyu and Cambridge with years of successful installations. It is 85% recycled content using plastic bottles(PET) and goes down with a common releasable adhesive from ParaChem (M5080).

It seems appropriate for Nood to choose the greenest backing available with a proven track record. This is probably the most significant news for the second half of 2009 and sets us up well to take off in the coming months with a comprehensive, well rounded offering.  We are offering a premium, non-PVC backed product with 85% recycled content on patterns that a designer can have dyed in any color. My hope is that we have created a tile offering that is unique but stays true to our committment to be lean and green.  

Do you offer tile? “Absolutely!”
