Let's give carpet tiles a second life

Demand for reusable carpet tiles continues to grow. Orak helps companies to manage their carpet tiles at the end of their first use, offering complete solutions for removal, collection, sorting and reuse.

Clean, diagnose, recondition: the Orak method

At Orak, reconditioning carpet tiles is not just an alternative to systematic replacement: it's also a certified and transparent process.

Each project benefits from the Orak FDES (Fiche de Déclaration Environnementale et Sanitaire), enabling our customers to easily integrate reuse into their environmental assessments and certifications (HQE, BREEAM, LEED).

Thanks to our high-performance carpet cleaning tunnel, we bring new life to floor coverings while significantly reducing waste and the carbon footprint of projects.

Our reconditioning process combines technical excellence, hygiene and environmental commitment to give each slab a sustainable second life.

FAQ

Questions about reusing your carpet

Don't hesitate to ask us your questions live

Make an appointment

Are the characteristics of the reused carpet similar to those of a new tile of the same reference?

The technical characteristics of the reused slabs we supply are identical to those of the original slabs. As part of our recycling process, we clean the slabs using the Orak method to restore color and swelling to the fibers. We then carry out a meticulous sorting process to remove any slabs in poor condition. Only products in perfect condition are kept.

Do re-used products come with a guarantee?

The manufacturers who work with us grant an extended warranty to the products we remanufacture. The starting warranty for a carpet tile is between 10 and 15 years depending on the manufacturer. Manufacturers give 1 to 2 years of warranty to the reused product.

How can I get samples of Orak products?

Samples of new products are sent directly from the manufacturer to your address. For reused products, samples are limited and depend on the quantity recovered. You can also visit our showroom by appointment to see the samples.

Can I mix a new product with a used one?

The mix of products is strongly recommended. Indeed, reused material is rarely available to cover the entire area envisaged, so it is recommended to combine it with new materials. For a guaranteed visual effect, it is suggested to choose contrasting colors; For example, combine black with grey or beige with brown. Opting for a color unit is not recommended due to the possible variations between manufacturing baths.

How long have the reused products been in use?

Reuse tiles are used for periods ranging from a few months to a maximum of 6 to 7 years. At Orak, we make a clear distinction between products intended for reuse and those at the end of their life. Successful reuse is one that goes unnoticed.

Can my cleaning company maintain my carpet tiles?

We highly recommend opting for the Orak maintenance service to ensure the durability of your product. Indeed, our "Orak Texticians" benefit from a widely recognized know-how, and we guarantee the quality of the results for each service offered. For cleaning companies, the Orakorner, our simple and portable tool, is available to efficiently manage any emergency.
