Choosing commercial carpet involves balancing aesthetic appeal with high-performance criteria. Key factors include the 'face weight' and density of the carpet, which indicate how it will hold up under constant traffic. Nylon fibers are the industry standard for commercial use due to their resilience and ease of cleaning. Check for fire ratings required by local building codes and look for stain-resistant treatments. Modular carpet tiles are often preferred over broadloom in offices for their ease of repair and replacement.
