	NOTE 1 – CONDENSED FOOTNOTES
	As contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) instructions to Form 10-Q, the following footnotes have been condensed and, therefore, do not contain all disclosures required in connection with annual financial statements. Reference should be made to the Company’s year-end audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012, as filed with the Commission.
	The financial information included in this report has been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, the financial information included in this report contains all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Nevertheless, the results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The December 30, 2012 consolidated condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
	As described below in Note 10, the Company has sold its Bentley Prince Street business segment. The results of operations and related disposal costs, gains and losses for this business are classified as discontinued operations, where applicable.
	Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
	The Company computes basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding, including participating securities outstanding, during the period as discussed below.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic EPS that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in the Company’s earnings.
	The Company includes all unvested stock awards which contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in our basic and diluted EPS calculations when the inclusion of these shares would be dilutive. Unvested share-based awards of restricted stock are paid dividends equally with all other shares of common stock. As a result, the Company includes all outstanding restricted stock awards in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS. Distributed earnings include common stock dividends and dividends earned on unvested share-based payment awards. Undistributed earnings represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. The following tables show distributed and undistributed earnings:

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 4 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
	Based on applicable accounting standards, the Company has determined that it has three operating segments – namely, the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific geographic regions. Pursuant to accounting standards, the Company has aggregated the three operating segments into one reporting segment because they have similar economic characteristics, and the operating segments are similar in all of the following areas: (a) the nature of the products and services; (b) the nature of the production processes; (c) the type or class of customer for their products and services; (d) the methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and (e) the nature of the regulatory environment. In August 2012, the Company sold its Bentley Prince Street business segment (see note 10 for further information). Accordingly the Company has included the operations of the former Bentley Prince Street segment in discontinued operations, where applicable.

	NOTE 5 – LONG-TERM DEBT
	7.625% Senior Notes
	As of both September 29, 2013, and September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding $275 million in 7.625% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “7.625% Senior Notes”). The estimated fair value of the 7.625% Senior Notes as of September 29, 2013, and September 30, 2012, based on then current market prices, was $298.4 million and $299.8 million, respectively.
	On October 10, 2013, subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company elected to redeem $27.5 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of these notes at a price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the notes redeemed, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. The redemption date will be November 27, 2013.
	11.375% Senior Secured Notes
	As of both September 29, 2013, and September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding $8.1 million in 11.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2013 (the “11.375% Senior Secured Notes”). The estimated fair value of the 11.375% Senior Secured Notes as of both September 29, 2013, and September 30, 2012, based on then current market prices, was $8.1 million. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company repaid these remaining notes in full at maturity.
	Credit Facilities
	On October 22, 2013, the Company entered into a new Syndicated Facility Agreement among the Company, certain wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers, certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors, Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent, The Royal Bank of Scotland, as Syndication Agent, SunTrust Bank and Regions Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents, and the other lenders party thereto. Pursuant to the Syndicated Facility Agreement, the lenders provide to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries a multicurrency revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) of up to $200 million at any one time. The key features of the Facility are as follows:
		●	The Facility matures on October 22, 2018.
		●	The Facility includes (i) a multicurrency revolving loan facility made available to the Company and its principal subsidiaries in Europe and Australia not to exceed $190 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding, and (ii) a revolving loan facility made available to the Company’s principal subsidiary in Thailand not to exceed the equivalent of $10 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding. A sublimit of $40 million exists for the issuance of letters of credit under the Facility.
		●	Advances under the Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of each of its material domestic subsidiaries, which have guaranteed the Facility.
		●	The Facility contains financial covenants (specifically, a consolidated net leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio) that must be met as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
		●	The Company has the option to increase the multicurrency loan facility by up to $150 million (or $250 million if the proceeds of the increase are used to pay off all remaining 7.625% Senior Notes), subject to the receipt of lender commitments for the increase and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.
	Interest Rates and Fees. Interest on base rate loans is charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.50% over the applicable base interest rate (which is defined as the greatest of the prime rate, a specified federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or a specified LIBOR rate), depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Interest on LIBOR-based loans and fees for letters of credit are charged at varying rates computed by applying a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.50% over the applicable LIBOR rate. In addition, the Company pays a commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.35% per annum (depending on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the most recently completed fiscal quarter) on the unused portion of the Facility.
	9
	Covenants. The Facility contains standard and customary covenants for agreements of this type that, among other things, limit the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to:
		●	create or incur liens on assets;
		●	make acquisitions of or investments in businesses (in excess of certain specified amounts);
		●	incur indebtedness or contingent obligations;
		●	sell or dispose of assets (in excess of certain specified amounts);
		●	pay dividends or repurchase the Company’s stock (in excess of certain specified amounts);
		●	repay other indebtedness prior to maturity unless the Company meets certain conditions; and
		●	enter into sale and leaseback transactions.
	The Facility also requires the Company to remain in compliance with the following financial covenants as of the end of each fiscal quarter, based on the Company’s consolidated results for the year then ended:
		●	Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio: Must be no greater than (i) 4.50:1.00 through and including the fiscal quarter ending December 28, 2014, (ii) 4.00:1.00 from and including the fiscal quarter ending April 5, 2015 through and including the fiscal quarter ending January 3, 2016, and (iii) 3.75:1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter.
		●	Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio: Must be no less than 2.25:1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter.
	The revolving credit facility also includes various reporting, affirmative and negative covenants, and other provisions that restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to take certain actions.
	Events of Default. If the Company breaches or fails to perform any of the affirmative or negative covenants under the Facility, or if other specified events occur (such as a bankruptcy or similar event or a change of control of Interface, Inc. or certain subsidiaries, or if the Company breaches or fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained in any instrument relating to any of the Company’s other indebtedness exceeding $20 million), after giving effect to any applicable notice and right to cure provisions, an event of default will exist. If an event of default exists and is continuing, the lenders’ Administrative Agent may, and upon the written request of a specified percentage of the lender group shall:
		●	declare all commitments of the lenders under the facility terminated;
		●	declare all amounts outstanding or accrued thereunder immediately due and payable; and
		●	exercise other rights and remedies available to them under the agreement and applicable law.
	Collateral. Pursuant to a Security and Pledge Agreement executed on the same date, the Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries (subject to exceptions for certain immaterial subsidiaries), including all of the stock of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and up to 65% of the stock of its first-tier material foreign subsidiaries. If an event of default occurs under the Facility, the lenders’ Administrative Agent may, upon the request of a specified percentage of lenders, exercise remedies with respect to the collateral, including, in some instances, foreclosing mortgages on real estate assets, taking possession of or selling personal property assets, collecting accounts receivables, or exercising proxies to take control of the pledged stock of domestic and first-tier material foreign subsidiaries.
	In connection with the execution of the Syndicated Facility Agreement, the Company terminated (i) the Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2011, among the Company (and certain direct and indirect subsidiaries), the lenders listed therein, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Bank of America, N.A., which provided a $100 million domestic revolving credit facility; and (ii) the Credit Agreement, executed on April 24, 2009, among Interface Europe B.V. (and certain of its subsidiaries) and the Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. (as successor to ABN AMRO Bank N.V.), as amended, which provided a credit facility for borrowings and bank guarantees of up to €20.0 million. As of September 29, 2013, there were zero borrowings and $3.6 million in letters of credit outstanding under the then-existing domestic revolving credit facility, and the Company could have incurred $71.4 million of additional borrowings under that facility. As of September 29, 2013, there were zero borrowings under the then-existing European credit facility, and the Company could have incurred €20 million (approximately $27.1 million) of additional borrowings under that facility.
	At closing, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Facility, and had $7.6 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.
	Other non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company have an aggregate of the equivalent of $17.9 million of lines of credit available. As of September 29, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding under these lines of credit.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	'
	NOTE 6 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
	Stock Option Awards
	In accordance with accounting standards, the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide the services – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period) – in exchange for the award. The grant date fair value for options and similar instruments will be estimated using option pricing models. Under accounting standards, the Company is required to select a valuation technique or option pricing model that meets the criteria stated in the standard. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model. Accounting standards require that the Company estimate forfeitures for stock options and reduce compensation expense accordingly. The Company has reduced its stock compensation expense by the assumed forfeiture rate and will evaluate experience against this forfeiture rate going forward.
	During the first nine months of 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized stock option compensation costs of $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. In the third quarters of 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized stock option compensation costs of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards at September 29, 2013, approximated $0.1 million, and the weighted average period of time over which this cost will be recognized is approximately one year.
	The following table summarizes stock options outstanding as of September 29, 2013, as well as activity during the nine months then ended:
		Shares		Weighted Average
				Exercise Price
	Outstanding at December 30, 2012		393,500	$	9.12
	Granted		0		0
	Exercised		129,000		8.65
	Forfeited or canceled		8,500		2.71

	Exercisable at September 29, 2013		251,000	$	8.56
	At September 29, 2013, the aggregate intrinsic value of in-the-money options outstanding and options exercisable was $2.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively (the intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount by which the market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option).
	Cash proceeds and intrinsic value related to total stock options exercised during the first nine months of fiscal years 2013 and 2012 are provided in the table below. The Company did not recognize any significant tax benefit with regard to stock options in either period presented.

	Restricted Stock Awards
	During the nine months ended September 29, 2013, and September 30, 2012, the Company granted restricted stock awards for 670,000 and 573,500 shares, respectively, of common stock. These awards (or a portion thereof) vest with respect to each recipient over a two to five year period from the date of grant, provided the individual remains in the employment or service of the Company as of the vesting date. Additionally, awards (or a portion thereof) could vest earlier upon the attainment of certain performance criteria, in the event of a change in control of the Company, or upon involuntary termination without cause.
	Compensation expense related to restricted stock grants was $5.0 million and $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 29, 2013, and September 30, 2012, respectively. Accounting standards require that the Company estimate forfeitures for restricted stock and reduce compensation expense accordingly. The Company has reduced its expense by the assumed forfeiture rate and will evaluate experience against this forfeiture rate going forward.

	NOTE 8 – 2012 RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
	In the first quarter of 2012, the Company committed to a restructuring plan in its continuing efforts to reduce costs across its worldwide operations and more closely align its operations with reduced demand levels in certain markets. The plan primarily consisted of ceasing manufacturing and warehousing operations at its facility in Shelf, England. In connection with this restructuring plan, the Company incurred a pre-tax restructuring and asset impairment charge in the first quarter of 2012 in an amount of $16.3 million. The charge was comprised of employee severance expenses of $5.4 million, other related exit costs of $1.6 million, and a charge for impairment of assets of approximately $9.3 million. Approximately $7 million of the charge will result in cash expenditures, primarily severance expense. In the third and fourth quarters of 2012, the Company recorded additional charges of $0.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of cash severance expenses related to the finalization of this plan for its European operations. As a result of these restructuring charges, a reduction of approximately 145 employees occurred.
	A summary of these restructuring activities is presented below:

	In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company committed to a restructuring plan intended to reduce costs across its worldwide operations and more closely align its operations with reduced demand in certain markets. As a result of this plan, the Company incurred pre-tax restructuring and asset impairment charges of $5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011. The majority of this charge ($5.0 million) related to the severance of approximately 90 employees in Europe, Asia and the United States. The remainder of the charge ($0.8 million) related to contract termination and fixed asset impairment costs. Approximately $5.0 million of this charge will result in cash expenditures, primarily severance expenses. Actions and expenses related to this plan were substantially completed by the end of 2011.

	NOTE 12 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard regarding the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, or similar tax credit carryforward, exists. This standard clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax benefit is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be netted with the deferred tax asset. The amendments in this standard are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this standard will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

	NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES
	In the first quarter of 2013, the Company executed advance pricing agreements for tax years 2006 through 2011 with the Canada Revenue Agency and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in relation to the U.S. bilateral advanced pricing agreement filed in 2008. As a result of executing the advance pricing agreements, the Company was able to reduce its liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the first quarter of 2013 by $1.9 million. This benefit has been included in the “Income Tax Expense (Benefit)” line of the Company’s consolidated condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 29, 2013.
	Accounting standards require that all tax positions be analyzed using a two-step approach. The first step requires an entity to determine if a tax position is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. In the second step, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, that is more-likely-than-not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. In the first nine months of 2013, due largely to the resolution of the bilateral advanced pricing agreement discussed above, the Company decreased its liability for unrecognized tax benefits by $1.9 million. As of September 29, 2013, the Company had accrued approximately $23.3 million for unrecognized tax benefits.

	NOTE 14 – FIRE AT AUSTRALIAN MANUFACTURING FACILITY
	On July 20, 2012, a fire occurred at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Picton, Australia. The facility’s carpet production line, primarily comprised of tufting and backing machinery, sustained extensive damage and was rendered inoperable. The Picton facility served the Company’s customers throughout Australia and New Zealand. Since the fire, the Company has utilized adequate production capacity at its manufacturing facilities in Thailand, China and elsewhere to meet customer demand typically serviced from Picton. The Company has business interruption and property damage insurance. The Company is in the process of building a new manufacturing facility in Minto, Australia and expects it to become operational in January 2014.
	Since the fire, the Company has recorded charges of approximately $25.0 million ($2.6 million in 2013) for impairment of fixed assets related to the fire, and has incurred approximately $31.8 million of excess production costs related to the fire, as it has utilized other facilities to service customers in the Australia and New Zealand markets. As of September 29, 2013, the Company has determined that the receipt of reimbursement of these expenses from its insurer is probable in accordance with its insurance policies and has therefore recorded a receivable for these items. As of September 29, 2013, the Company had received $54.9 million of reimbursement from the insurance company related to the fire at the Picton facility. The table below details the nature of expenses as well as insurance receivables and amounts already received related to the fire:
		(In millions)
	Impairment of fixed assets at the Picton facility	$	25
	Incremental payroll costs		17.9
	Incremental shipping costs		7.6
	Other incremental costs		6.3
	Total incurred costs through September 29, 2013	$	56.8
	Insurance recovery receivable	$	1.9
	Insurance recoveries already received	$	54.9
	The receivable related to this claim is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated condensed balance sheet.
	The Company also has made an additional claim for loss of profits related to the fire. The amount of this claim is approximately $7.0 million and relates to loss of profits from the date of the fire through the second quarter of 2013. The Company continues to gather information related to additional insurance claims for loss of profits as a result of the fire. As of September 29, 2013, the Company had not recorded any receivables or amounts for loss of profits, but expects to do so at a later date as information and analysis become more complete and recovery becomes probable.
