     Re:  Form S-8 Registration Statement -- Interface, Inc. Savings and
          Investment Plan

Gentlemen:

     I have acted as counsel for Interface, Inc., a Georgia corporation
(the "Company"), in my capacity as Vice President, General Counsel and
Secretary of the Company, in the preparation of the referenced Form S-8
Registration Statement relating to the Company's Savings and Investment
Plan (the "Plan") and the proposed offer and sale of up to 60,000 shares
of the Company's Class A or Class B common stock, $.10 par value (the
"Common Stock") pursuant thereto.  In connection with the preparation of
said Registration Statement, I have examined certificates of public
officials and originals or copies of such corporate records, documents
and other instruments relating to the authorization of the Plan and the
authorization and issuance of the shares of Common Stock as I have deemed
relevant under the circumstances.

     On the basis of the foregoing, it is my opinion that:

          The Company was duly organized and incorporated and is validly
existing under the laws of the State of Georgia, with an authorized
capitalization consisting of 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock (Class A
and Class B shares), par value $.10 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share.

          The Plan and the proposed offer and sale thereunder of up to
60,000 shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Company, and the shares, when issued in accordance with
the terms and conditions of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully-paid
and nonassessable.

     I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to said
Registration Statement.

                                   Sincerely,



                                   /s/ Raymond S. Willoch
                                   Raymond S. Willoch, Vice President,
                                   Secretary and General Counsel
