Plynyl Tile is the result of our two-year development effort combining our unique woven fabric with a state of the art, vinyl backing system. The woven fabric for the tile has been re-engineered to insure the tile edges stay sharp and clean. Plynyl Tile comes in our signature Basketweave pattern using bi-colored yarns to provide maximum durability and ease of maintenance. Tile backing provides cushion and dimensional stability through the use of two layers of vinyl and an intermediary non-woven stabilizing layer. The backing includes approximately 15% post-industrial recycled content. Chilewich is working to increase this and to move to post-consumer content. Because Plynyl is woven, it has the characteristics of woven material. The natural bow and skew of the weaves shows, especially at seams. Seams will be visible, too. The natural variation in the color of the fabric is also the result of the weaving process.
