Commercial Carpet and Carpet Tiles

When choosing carpet there are certain things one must always keep in mind.

1. Traffic – Is it a high traffic area say an offices space hallway? Or is it a residential space, like a bedroom?
2. Type of Material – Nylon, Propylene, or Polyester? Each have their own benefits, for example Nylon is much easier to stain than Propylene because of the way they dye the color into the carpet. Stain protection comes down to the protection they offer on the carpet.
3. Type of Backing – There are several different types of carpet backing
   1. Action Back – Which is the standard carpet backing, it looks like a bunch of little squares. It seems very ruggid to the feel and sometimes will create dust of some sort.
   2. Unitary Backing – This backing is like the action back but has much more material in the backing to keep the carpet attached to the floor and to prevent raveling. This type of carpet is ideal for high traffic areas.
   3. Flex Back – This type of backing is not meant for stretching in. This type of carpet is designed to be glued down
