The highest  BREEAM rating for carpets has recently been awarded to international Irish manufacturer Tretford.  Their unique cord carpet has been awarded an A+ rating, for retail and leisure environments and an A rating which covers the average service life of 10 years in heavy duty environments, such as schools.

The carpet’s innovative construction, comprising up to 80% goat hair with 100% jute backing, has the lowest environmental impact and makes a maximum contribution to overall performance of a school’s green standard.  It also has positive influence on the design and management, helping to reduce running costs while improving leaning and pupil well-being.
