Ume
24" x 24" MODULAR
I N S P I R A T I O N
Rooted in the timeless artistry of Sakiori,
Ume draws inspiration from the Japanese
weaving tradition that transforms worn textiles
into beautiful, enduring creations.
A celebration of craftsmanship and thoughtful
resourcefulness, Sakiori embraces texture,
rhythm, and the beauty of imperfection.
Ume translates that enduring spirit into a refined
flooring design with layered textures and subtle
woven character that reveal themselves over time.
Balancing tradition with modern simplicity, it
creates inviting spaces rich in depth, warmth,
and quiet sophistication.

The most common subfloor, concrete, can release excessive moisture and destroy floor
covering systems—unless costly precautions are taken before installation. But moisture
mitigation isn’t necessary with Kinetex; its breathable nature allows moisture to pass
through its backing, instead of trapping it underneath. Kinetex textile composite flooring
will perform in elevated RH slabs up to 100%.

Please see the Kinetex installation instructions for full installation details.
K I N E T E X I N S T A L L A T I O N
Although Kinetex is a modular tile, it does not install like traditional modular carpet.
Installers should carefully read the full Kinetex installation instructions. Special attention
should be applied until installers gain experience with module placement. Installers
should perform site and material conditioning and surface preparation, and there should
be no condensation or standing water at the time of installation. Kinetex material is
lightweight and is easy to cut, which reduces installation time. Kinetex uses J+J Flooring’s
proven adhesive system with a lifetime performance warranty.
K I N E T E X A D H E S I V E
Kinetex Adhesive is formulated for Kinetex textile composite flooring products and is
built to bond the textile composite to the properly prepared substrates for the life of the
installation. Products with Kinetex Adhesive will perform in elevated RH slabs up to 100%.
7 . C O M F O R T
Kinetex, a soft textile surface with a high-
density backing, has exceptional anti-fatigue
properties and minimal rolling resistance.
Because it can absorb energy, Kinetex has
the potential to reduce repetitive foot stress
injuries and other injuries related to standing
and frequent movement from place to place.

High-Def Color Technology
J+J Flooring achieves next-generation
innovation with the development of High-Def
Color Technology. This latest engineering
capability provides Kinetex products with
crisp color, vibrant patterns and dimensional
design that rivals that of soft surface flooring.
©2026 J+J Flooring Group, LLC - This unique design is protected under the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976. Any unauthorized copying or duplication of this design
constitutes copyright infringement in violation of federal law. Due to the unique visual characteristics of modular carpets, pattern repeats and pattern run-off
seams may appear more noticeable than in broadloom carpets. Such visual characteristics do not constitute a manufacturing defect, and as such, should be
considered when selecting modular carpet and its installation.
These photographs are representations of the installation for this modular product. Your modular installation may look different than these photos depending
upon individual tile placement, lighting, and overall space layout, including furnishings. Final tile placement and the resulting visual is thus the customer’s,
and not J+J Flooring’s responsibility.
*NRC rating is a measure of the effectiveness of a material in absorbing sound. The higher the NRC rating, the greater the ability of the flooring product
to absorb airborne noise. Independent laboratory testing of Kinetex has shown an average NRC rating of 0.30 (bare concrete flooring will typically provide
a NRC Rating of 0.015).
**IIC is a rating of the insulation from impact noise. The higher the IIC rating, the greater the sound insulation. Independent laboratory testing of Kinetex
has shown an average IIC Rating of .64 (bare concrete flooring will typically provide an IIC Rating of 34) NOTE: Test results and testing laboratory will vary,
and the above information is not guaranteed.
