VAN DYCK INTRODUCES THE MAESTRO COLLECTION
FRESH decorating colours and surprising blends of textures are now the new modern
interior trends that are transforming traditional dull spaces into colourful and versatile
creations. Van Dyck Carpets launched a new master of all carpet designs, the Maestro
collection, in April 2016. This PFX polypropylene tufted loop pile tile range is available in
five exciting designs namely: Crosshatch Sable, Tetris Pitch, Structure Jet, Waterfall Texture
and Waterfall Stripe.
Dr Mehran Zarrebini, chief executive of Van Dyck Carpets, said, “The aim of this collection
is to offer a diverse structure and pattern, providing several creative possibilities that can
transform the mood of an interior environment creating versatile and stylish floors.”
The 50 x 50cm carpet tiles can be laid in monolithic, ashlar, brick bond or
tessellated layouts.
“Carpet tiles are enjoying increasing popular against other floorcoverings because they
offer great versatility and practicality. Carpet tiles are very easy to install as they are small
and manageable,” continues Zarrebini.
The Maestro collection is a very affordable range by Van Dyck Carpets that is perfect for
light to medium commercial applications. This collection offers a new and versatile method
to contemporise commercial spaces, while at the same time, providing an upmarket, fresh
feel and appearance that will look elegant and contemporary for many years to come.
Van Dyck is proud that the Maestro collection is made locally in the Durban factory, which
has received a Carbon Trust certification and is both ISO 14001 (environmentally friendly
manufacturing) and also ISO 14064 (measuring carbon footprint) certified. The carpet tiles
are made with an Enduroback KR4 modified recycled bitumen backing which has over 40%
recycled material. Thanks to the ever-lasting durability it can be re-used for the secondary
market at the end of its normal lifetime. The bitumen backing used contains no PVC’s and
is very low on VOC’s therefore increasing the lifespan of the carpet tile. A Stain Shield
protective finish has been applied to safe guard the fibres from the day-to-day dust and dirt.

in a thicker pile and a lower price
