How to Choose the Right Carpet for Your Office

Buying commercial carpet for a business isn’t quite the same as choosing a carpet for your home. There are different considerations that are important to remember. For example, you want to make sure you’re choosing a carpet that will outlast heavy foot traffic. Let’s take a deeper look into how to choose the right carpet for your office.

Identify what’s important to you. Is foot traffic of utmost importance? Maybe you have a strict budget? Perhaps, first and foremost, you care about style? Whatever the case, figure out which item or items are most important as your first step.

Agree on a budget. Even if money isn’t necessarily the biggest issue for you, it’s important to set a budget. Determine how much you have to spend on your office’s new carpet. When making this decision, consider how long you want your carpet to last and look good for.

Consider fabric types. Carpets are made with varying types of fabric or “yarn.” Below are three types that work well for commercial settings:

• Tufted
• Nylon
• Olefin

Measure precisely. Be sure that you have exact measurements of the space to be carpeted. Otherwise, you could end up purchasing an incorrect amount of carpet. If you’re unsure, always round up. It’s better to have more carpet than you need than not enough.
