Patcraft Introduces Vector Collection Cartersville, Ga. – August 31, 2011 – Work a new angle. Rays of light burst through a prism. Pattern and color are revealed. The Vector collection from Patcraft takes shape. Engineered with Eco Solution Q® premium branded nylon and EcoWorx® heavy-duty, non-PVC backing, it’s good looking, hard working and cradle-to-cradle. Totally brilliant from every angle.“The Vector Collection features two patterns inspired by the dynamics of light and color and how they affect the visual interpretation of photography, said designer Deborah Houston. “Gentle arcs overlay strong angles in Reveal Color and rectangular shapes over organic texture in Refract Light. The complimentary patterns allow your flooring selection to go subtle or go bold.†Designed for high-performance, high-traffic installations and well suited for corporate, healthcare, higher education and other end use segments, this collection shines on and on in every space. With the Vector Collection, geometric and curvilinear wonders never cease. Select the scale and pattern that works best in your project space.
