SIX SURPRISING BENEFITS OF CARPET


In this article, Paragon Carpet Tiles outlines why carpet continues to be a popular choice of fl ooring for commercial buildings.


Choosing the right fl ooring is an important decision and one that needs careful consideration. The main debate is often between whether to fi t carpet tiles or some form of hard fl ooring, such as luxury vinyl tiles (LVT).


As a commercial carpet manufacturer that also supplies LVT, Paragon Carpet Tiles are advocates for both. Each has their own advantages, but with durability, acoustic and fl exible features, carpet is often facilities managers’ preferred choice.


Durability FMs must ensure that the materials they use are long- lasting, to stand the test of time.

design-led commercial carpet tiles, with the functionality and durability to perform in the toughest of environments.


Cost-effective Controlling costs is always at the top of everyone’s agenda. When it comes to fl ooring, carpet is certainly the more budget-friendly option as it is relatively inexpensive to install and maintain.


A cost analysis for fl oor coverings by the Institute, Cleaning and Restoration Certifi cation, found that carpet could be up to 65% less expensive to maintain than hard fl ooring. On an annual basis, the research suggests that it takes two-and-a-half times longer to clean hard fl oors than carpet, with the cleaning chemicals needed for hard fl oors being seven times more expensive.


Statistics also show that up to 80% of the dirt in a building is brought in on the soles of people’s shoes, so installing a good entrance matting system can improve safety and reduce cleaning and maintenance costs. This means that carpet is one of the most hygienic and cost-effective fl ooring solutions on the market.
