Kiwi Rail

KiwiRail, New Zealand’s largest rail transport operator, is adding 16 new ‘panorama’ carriages to its fleet of premium tourist trains to enhance the passenger experience of holidaymakers from across the world as they travel through some of the country’s most spectacular and awe-inspiring scenery. Forbo Flooring Systems has worked with Barnacle Design, Auckland based design consultants, to supply contemporary textile-based floor coverings for the new carriages.

Tessera Alignment was specified, a textured cut and loop pile carpet tile that contributes toward the attractive styling and superior comfort of the saloon interiors, whilst meeting the operator’s critical needs for compliant and exceptionally durable
flooring.
