DESSO AirMaster: Clears the Air®
The importance of clean air in the workplace can hardly be overstated. Tiny, invisible particles called particulate matter (PM), also known as particle pollution or fine dust, play a determining factor in the air quality of homes and workplaces, and are directly linked to health risks.1 Our presence of mind, our sense of well-being and our health in general all benefit greatly from air free of pollutants.
Ever since its introduction the AirMaster technology has proven itself in countless workspaces as well as in stringent laboratory tests. The latter demonstrated that DESSO AirMaster® is at least eight times more effective at capturing and retaining fine dust particles than smooth flooring solutions (PM10) and at least four times compared to conventional carpets (PM10)2.
Proven effectiveness
The GUI Gold label has been awarded based on the average of 15 repeated tests in which the excellent fine dust capturing performance of DESSO AirMaster was measured, to safeguard that the results are scientifically sound and not just based on a one-time performance.
During some tests, DESSO AirMaster proved to be up to 20 times more effective3 in capturing and retaining fine dust than smooth flooring solutions.
The Gold Plus label was awarded for high performance on three test criteria:
– Suitability for allergy sufferers
– High fine dust binding capacity
– Low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emission properties4
The Collections

DESSO AirMaster Savera Shade
AirMaster Savera Shade offers a subtle transition effect expressed in two variations of planks per shade. One plank has a lighter colour transition and the other a more prominent, darker transition.

Functionality is only half the story, however. With a versatile palette of 12 warm and cool hues - six solid tones, and six transition colours - designers have endless combinations at their disposal to create the impact they envision.
Installed in a variety of formations or combined with Tarkett’s Luxury Vinyl Tiles, AirMaster Savera planks are perfect for designing floorplans that are creative as well as practical. Zoning, wayfinding or distance marking for example.
