FLOR recycled Carpet Tiles

Area rugs made of Flor modular carpet tiles are used to define spaces and reiterate color choices throughout the house. The Flor products contain a high amount recycled content and allow completely customizable and designed rugs, making it the perfect choice for our LEED program house. The carpets are now installed, and the furniture is beginning to be moved into the house and arranged.
