polypropylene or nylon carpet tiles?
both polypropylene & nylon carpet tiles are an ideal floor covering option for commercial use whether it be in an office block, hospitality & residential living spaces, or in education establishments. Polypropylenes offer a cost-effective starting point, which makes them great for dilapidation or those looking to keep costs to a minimum, however they do come with some quality drawbacks. Nylon carpet tiles however are the most durable option when choosing a tile for a busy, high-footfall area. There is a noticeable price difference between the two yarn choices, hopefully the table below can outline some of the key differences:
| polypropylene | nylon | |
|---|---|---|
| price point | cheapest | mid-range to expensive |
| commercial life expectancy | >5 years | >10 years |
| class rating | usually low-moderate | usually heavy contract (ie 33) |
| castor chair use | not rated* | yes |
| heavy foot-fall | not rated | yes |
*Generally polypropylene carpet tiles aren’t castor chair rated (exceptions with Paragon Scirocco & Urban Structure)
why carpet tiles?
For the majority of projects, carpet tiles are a superior choice both practically and in terms of design.
One of the main reasons architects and designers, not to mention floor fitters, choose to work with carpet tiles is the ease with which they can be installed.
- Carpet tiles are easy to lift and transport, making it easier to get them on the job site undamaged, in the first place.
- Because they’re pre-backed, carpet tiles can be installed directly onto the subfloor, eliminating the need for underlays. This saves a lot of time and effort, not to mention money.
- Carpet tiles don’t always need to acclimatise or settle in place for 24 hours before they are laid.
- Less waste; carpet tiles generate minimal waste in the fitting stage. This is because very little cutting, or adjustment, is needed for tiles to fit a given space. This is particularly true of rooms with many nooks and odd angles.
- You can expect a waste of around 1-3 %. Less waste means less money spent, but is also attractive for clients concerned sustainability.
flooring is the foundation of any beautiful room. Start with a great carpet tile & the rest will fall in to place
