How To

Select Your Carpet

The Carpet Mentor

is a tool that allows you to input your specific facility requirements and punishment factors and provides you a carpet construction profile to help you quickly find carpets that will meet your performance needs.

There are three primary steps in selecting a carpet that will perform in the commercial environment:

  1. Define your facility's requirements - The interior environment into which carpet will be installed will dictate the necessary carpet performance characteristics.

  2. Select the right carpet construction - Specifying the right fiber is a great start but you need to understand how all construction factors impact carpet performance.

  3. Specify performance test standards - You can write a tighter specification when you use industry standard test methods and ratings to back up your performance criteria.
