Which carpet to choose for your premises?

Changing your floor covering is an important decision for your professional space. You don't know which carpet to choose for your premises ? You need to make your choice according to specific criteria. The area to be covered, the appearance of the carpet, the type of carpet, and its maintenance are characteristics to examine. Discover how to make the best choice with Orak.

Choosing your carpet according to the area to be covered

Your floor must have a covering suitable for its use. Some spaces are more heavily used than others: entrances, corridors, staircases, etc. Some rooms need good sound insulation, such as open-plan offices or certain private offices. Your choice of carpet must be in line with these needs.

A high-traffic area requires a heavy-duty carpet. This type of carpet has high resistance to wear caused by significant traffic. Noisier rooms need an acoustic carpet. This will dampen airborne noise and floor impacts.

The design and colors of the floor coverings must match your brand image. You can also use different colors depending on the departments or interior spaces to differentiate them.

Choosing the type of carpet: looped, tufted, velvet?

Of course, the carpet chosen for your premises must be of superior quality. Wool carpet used for bedrooms is to be avoided. Natural fibers are also not designed for this type of use. Prefer carpets made of recycled nylon. In a professional environment, the covering must be resistant, aesthetic, and reusable if needed. Thus, its appearance is not insignificant.

What type of carpet to choose?

Looped carpet is made of yarns that form loops on the back of the covering. Its surface is flat. It is easy to maintain and resistant.

Tufted carpet is made by stitching the yarn into the backing. This creates very short loops. The result is quite minimalist. It is also easy to maintain and durable.

Classic velvet carpet is not the best option. Cut pile velvet has coiled fibers that are much less resistant to wear. Prefer looped or tufted velvet which is suitable for high-traffic areas.

Should you opt for carpet tiles or rolls?

We advise you to choose carpet tiles. These have many advantages:

Superior quality: the carpets offered by Orak are high-end coverings from major brands.

High resistance to wear: these are suitable for corporate use.

Unparalleled ease of installation, thanks to glue-free installation. No toxic VOCs are released into the work environment. This approach respects employee health and the environment.

Less expensive and faster installation and removal. The absence of adhesive products facilitates carpet removal.

Removal that preserves your floor, with no glue residue to remove.

Optimal maintenance: tiles can be removed for deep cleaning. If some loose-lay tiles are damaged, you can change them.

Significant reuse potential: tiles in good condition can be reused. All our carpet tiles are recyclable. This promotes the circular economy and reduces your environmental impact.
