Which carpet should you choose for your premises?

Changing your flooring 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 space to be covered, the appearance of the carpet, the type of carpet and its maintenance are all features to consider. Find out how to make the best choice with Orak.

Choose your carpet according to the space you need to cover

Your floor must have the right covering for the job. Some areas are more heavily used than others: entrances, corridors, staircases, etc. Some rooms need good soundproofing, like open-plan spaces or certain offices. Your choice of carpet must be in line with these needs.

A high-traffic area requires high-traffic carpet. It is highly resistant to wear caused by heavy traffic. Noisier rooms require a soundproof carpet. It will muffle airborne noise and shocks to the floor.

The design and colors of the floor coverings should be in keeping with your brand image. You can also use different colors for different departments or interior spaces to differentiate them.

Choosing the type of carpet: loop pile, tufted, velour?

Of course, the carpet you choose for your premises must be of the highest quality. Wool carpets for bedrooms should be avoided. Nor are natural fibers designed for this type of use. Choose recycled nylon carpets. In a professional environment, the covering must be resistant, aesthetic and reusable if necessary. So its appearance is not insignificant.

What type of carpet to choose ?

Loop carpet is made up of yarns that form loops on the backing. Its surface is flat. It's easy to care for and durable.

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

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

Should I opt for carpet tiles or rolls?
