Rugs & Axminster Carpet for Commercial Applications – A Guide for Specifiers
Published

Presented by Designer Rugs
There are several considerations when specifying flooring for commercial projects. To varying degrees – and depending on weather the job in question involves an office, a kindergarten, a public bar, or a hotel foyer – the floor chosen needs to be durable, easy to clean and safe.
Beyond functional requirements, commercial flooring should also look good. It should work with broader aesthetic themes, speak to various other architectural inclusions, elevate the ambience of a space and even reinforce brand identity.
In this context, in this session of CPD Live, we shine a light on specifying rugs and carpet for commercial applications. A practical and flexible choice for projects of this type, such products meet all the above-mentioned requirements and more.
Identifying the types of applications these products are best suited to, our speakers will talk through the key points in terms of texture and material selection, installation, design/colour choice, and more. They will outline all you need to know to include wall-to-wall rugs/carpeting in your next commercial project.
At the end of this presentation, you should be able to:
- Identify the functional requirements of flooring in various types of commercial applications
- Outline the aesthetic considerations associated with flooring choice in commercial applications
- Identify the types of commercial applications to which rugs and/or carpeting are best suited
