Commercial Carpeting Cost Factors

As you consider what type of carpet to use, you will want to understand how materials and construction affect the price.

Material: Olefin vs Nylon

If your main concern is the cost, it is more likely that you will choose olefin. This material is cheaper than the others on the market. However, it generally is less durable. 

For durability, nylon is a better choice. You can find truly attractive styles with stain resistance. Mohawk commercial carpet warranties have a ten-year span. During the first four years, the company will reimburse 100 percent of costs. After that, the amount is pro-rated.

If your business needs a high-end carpet, you will probably go for cut pile.  This is plusher and more luxurious. You can get something durable and stain resistant, but it will also be beautiful and inviting.

On the other hand, loop carpet is the best choice for heavily trafficked areas. It is less expensive, but it doesn’t necessarily look it.   Loop pile has not been cut and is less likely to fray. 

Carpet tiles can come with either cut or loop pile.  Commercial buyers like these because it is easy to replace them individually and maintain the overall look. 

If your business is furnishing rental properties, you may consider residential carpets instead of commercial.  It depends on the nature of your rental.  Obviously a middle- or high-end residence will require a plusher carpet.
