Commercial carpeting is the cornerstone to well thought-out interior design. From offices and cinema halls to retail stores and hotels, large enclosed and open-air areas that receive heavy foot-traffic benefit immensely from commercial carpeting. Right from aesthetics to sound-proofing to warmth, good carpeting elevates the feel of a space. Think: A sense of calm and privacy, plus other factors that make it a trusted choice – ranging from the soft underfoot feel (i.e., texture), patterns, colours, acoustics (carpet tiles help smooth out abrupt, rough noises), and much more.
Now the grade of carpeting also matters greatly when it comes to commercial carpeting. When considering non-toxic flooring options and carpeting that can withstand heavy foot-traffic – you want options that are environmentally friendly and human-friendly too. This is where our OEKO-TEX® certification comes in, and this is what it means for you, as a Welspun Flooring customer.
The OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification is one of the world’s most trusted certifications for product safety. Textiles with the OEKO standard label classifies them as having been tested for harmful substances. Right from the yarn to the finished product, the OEKO-TEX® certification indicates textile safety, ensuring that the textile products have met required criteria, are tested and certified as free from a list of harmful substances that can have adverse effects on human health.
One of the criteria for obtaining the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification for textiles is that the more intensive the skin contact, the human ecology requirements and laboratory tests are stricter. Complying with international requirements and regulations, Welspun Flooring holds an OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification too, that guarantees the ethical production of our textile goods. The OEKO standard is representative of our commercial textiles being certified as completely safe for use, and completely safe for you.
Designed for use in commercial establishments and settings such as shopping centres, hotels, exhibition centres, cinema halls, cafés, airports and more, commercial flooring is favoured in these locations because of the hundreds of people walking in and out on a daily basis. In order to withstand the amount of foot-traffic, commercial carpeting becomes an asset. These carpets are carefully constructed and designed to be durable and resistant to damage over time. Of course, while selecting flooring and tiling styles, the atmosphere, nature, and environment of a given setting are considered too.
OEKO-TEX® matters in commercial flooring because it adds to the sustainable design movement, without compromising on textile aesthetics, quality, and safety. Take our earth-friendly flooring options like Relic Gray and Streams Carina that possess highly-resilient fibre and are made with PET yarn. Polyethylene terephthalate yarn (PET yarn) is a synthetic fibre derived from recycled plastics, and is a fantastic sustainable alternative to traditional textiles – PET yarn is noted for its high strength, durability, moisture resistance, and vibrant colour retention.
Fostering feelings of calm, collaboration, communication, and creativity, our Welspun Flooring range of commercial carpeting styles will spoil you for choice. From lighter, minimalist palettes like Espresso to deeper opulent hues (see: Dawn Blue), bold patterns like Ripe Peach and tranquil styles like Warm Dune, we have you covered. Some colours and patterns in our ranges can also lend an air of the kind of aesthetics you’re hoping to incorporate in your space – our ocean-hued Tranquil Teal from the Floating crystals collection is a stunning example. Rose Gold Transition from our renaissance-meets-rustic Vestiges collection also makes an interesting choice for loft-style offices and fashion houses, if we’re throwing out ideas.
You can visit our stores, and a quicker way for you to get an idea would be through our View in Your Space feature available on every flooring tile pick on our website. All you have to do is upload a picture of your space and immediately virtually see how it looks with a chosen Welspun Flooring style. It’s that simple!
In the case of carpets, whether for private or public use, ultimately – good quality assurance rests on cost-effective maintenance and their lasting properties. From stain resistance and texture resistance to abrasion resistance and fade resistance, Welspun Flooring’s carpet tiles possess superior colour retention and strength owing to its Highly Resistant Fibre – Ny6+™.
Our carpet tiles also have a HealthyFloor™ coating making them anti-viral and anti-microbial – in turn, helping in absorbing carbon dioxide, to reduce air pollution and to improve the air quality. On that note, we don’t recommend using harsh cleaning chemicals for your carpets, but instead, interim and gentle cleaning methods that help in maintaining the quality and lifespan of your carpet tiles for a long time to come, making them an economically viable and environmentally friendly choice in the long run.
