BATIK AND FRESCO BY PACIFICREST CARPET HAS IT ALL

Sophistication, Performance and Sustainability

Go certifiably green with PacifiCrest Carpet!


PacifiCrest creates an exciting geometric carpet pattern and interprets it in two sophisticated styles with visibly different textures. Masters of manufacturing distinctive contract carpets, PacifiCrest gets the maximum artistry and product performance through engineering their yarn systems, advanced technology and craftsmanship. BATIK and FRESCO feature Antron Brilliance® nylon fiber combined with Antron Primers™ to produce crisp clean colors and vibrant shades. Both products have the benefits of Antron StainRESIST™ fiber technology for long-lasting performance and EPP certified carpet fiber for environmental sustainability.

BATIK is a patterned cut and loop construction carpet that contrasts tip-sheared, cut loop rectangles with alternating textured loop rectangles of color. Five different yarns are integrated into five tonal and accent colors forming 17 different colorations in all. “The organized combinations of color provide greater design flexibility to work with other interior finishes,” said Vice President of Sales and Marketing Larry Pope. Due to the contrast of textures and luster variation, BATIK appears to have 10 shades of color in each combination. The design block of rectangles pattern repeat is 8" x 6".

FRESCO is a patterned, all loop construction carpet that will maintain its appearance in the most demanding interior environment. The pattern presents a dimensional variation by alternating high loop with low loop rectangles of color. This pattern is subtle and sophisticated with its blend of colors and clean looking texture definition. Five different yarns form 17 unique colorations to match those in BATIK.

The unique StainRESIST™ fiber technology benefit in BATIK and FRESCO provides outstanding stain resistance, soil resistance and appearance retention qualities to enhance the life-cycle of the carpet especially for use in corporate, senior living, hospitality and retail facilities. The Antron® fiber is EPP (Environmentally Preferable Product) certified to have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared to other products that serve the same purpose. The carpet itself is tested and third-party certified by CRI Green Label +Plus.

Specifying PacifiCrest carpets with the appropriate E-LOK Bio-Bak™ Laminate or Bio-Bak™ 18 polyurethane backing also contributes to the total building materials requirements for rapidly renewable materials under the Materials and Resources Section of Version 2.0 of the LEED guidelines. Made with BioCel™ polyurethane backing system of bio-based polymers using soybean oil and Celeram, a highly refined recovered mineral, this backing is 64-68% green by weight, excluding carpet face weight.
