Airlay multi-level loop carpet planks with a small-scale pattern in practical darker tones, also available on a cushion back. Six colours.
Metro is a carpet plank from Airlay designed for flexibility: the planks can be laid in a variety of tessellations for creative floor designs. Its six colourways, Commute, Cityscape, Transit, Subway, Underground and Express, use darker tones and a small-scale pattern that are practical and forgiving in high-use spaces.
It is a multi-level loop in 100% solution-dyed nylon on a PVC backing with recycled content, or on a PET cushion backing for more comfort. Metro is ECS Level 4 certified and carries Airlay’s 15 year limited warranty.

Planks are long and narrow (250 x 1000 mm) instead of square, so they can be laid in herringbone and other timber-style layouts. They are made, glued down and replaced the same way as tiles.
Airlay also makes Metro on a PET cushion backing (8 mm overall), which adds comfort underfoot. Ask us when you get your quote.
