HOW CARPETS CAN REVITALISE A WORKSPACE
The average UK carpet industry’s growth from 2015-2020 is at 0.5%, with a significant amount of carpeting going to workplaces. Carpets can make a huge difference to workspaces. Provided you select the right carpet for your workspace, i.e., a contract carpet designed for heavy-duty use and non-domestic applications, you can renew, re-energize your workspace in many ways.
CARPETS OFFER DESIGN VERSATILITY.
It’s easy to give your workspace a new/fresh lease of life by simply changing the carpet. Carpets are considered works of art because of the limitless freedom you enjoy with existing and custom designs. If you work with an interior designer or carpet manufacturer directly, you can design exactly what you want, from the specific textures to custom colors and patterns.
You can even install carpet hangings or have your company logo or portrait woven in. When it comes to refreshing a workspace using carpet designs, you are actually limited by your imagination.
CARPETS LOWER ACOUSTIC LEVELS.
Revitalising a workspace is largely about making improvements, and lowering noise levels could be what you need to make your office better. Considering studies have found noise to be a major problem in over 50% of all open office environments, it makes sense to find ways of reducing or controlling noise levels in workspaces.
Hard flooring surfaces will reflect sound more from foot traffic and other sources of noise like moving office chairs. Since open office spaces make the noise factor worse, carpeting is a great way to reduce noise and create a more comfortable environment.
However, your choice of carpeting matters a lot. Ideally, the carpet you select should be specially designed for heavy-duty applications to cancel noise properly. Contract carpeting is an excellent choice as it is specifically made with noise-canceling properties. The carpeting can handle everything from busy corridors to chairs moving back and forth. The higher fiber mass makes contract carpeting perfect for absorbing sound. The carpeting also has permeable backing that offers more noise reduction capabilities.
CARPETS OFFER WARMTH AND COMFORT.
The thermal properties of carpets have been studied widely. Thick carpets with underlays offer the best thermal insulation (R-value). As a result. If you want to revitalise your workspace during colder seasons, a carpet may be a great addition. Carpets retain warm air making them a priceless addition for offering warmth while conserving energy. A carpet will also create a comfortable environment to walk on and work in. Besides the cushioning benefits, you can make a place feel warmer simply by changing the carpet color.
CARPETS LOWER VOC LEVELS COMPARED TO OTHER COMMON FLOORINGS.
The EPA defines volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as chemical compounds with adverse health effects. Today, new flooring types are made using a variety of chemicals that emit harmful gases raising VOC levels tenfold indoors. The paint, furnishes, glues, and adhesive in common flooring should raise health concerns. Carpets are low emitters of VOCs, making them better if you want to improve the air quality indoors while still renewing your workplace.
You can renew your workspace using carpets in many ways. While carpets have many benefits, they are a great way to improve your workspace design, acoustic levels, warmth, and comfort levels. They can also lower VOC levels and enhance air quality, giving you that refreshing environment to work in.
Important: Make sure you get the right carpet for your workspace. Contract carpets are made specifically for workplace applications and offer all the above benefits and more. Get contract carpeting today!
WHY COMMERCIAL CARPETS ARE BEST FOR ESTABLISHMENTS
Manufacturers define carpets as finished fabric or related products used as floor covering. As the name suggests, commercial carpets are carpets meant for commercial establishments like office buildings. While you can install any type of carpet in your establishment, there are notable advantages of installing the right carpet. What’s more, commercial carpets offer unique benefits to establishments. They include:
NOISE REDUCTION
Commercial establishments are characterized by high foot traffic that can be an unwelcome distraction. Since office staff must constantly move around and interact with each other, hard flooring such as tile and hardwood results in a very noisy office.
Commercial carpets are made with this in mind. They are designed to absorb sound better than typical carpets or any other type of flooring.
LOWER COST, BETTER OUTCOME
Most commercial flooring options are costly. A commercial carpet is the most affordable flooring option with notable advantages such as customization, acoustic benefits, and more.
Commercial carpets designed for specific foot traffic also retain their look in the long term. High-quality commercial carpets don’t stain or tear easily making them the best choice compared to expensive flooring that doesn’t even absorb sound and offer foot comfort.
AESTHETIC AND RELATED BENEFITS
There are limitless commercial carpet designs to choose from. Unlike hardwood floors or tiles, which are limited in variety, you can install just about any carpet design in your establishment, including custom carpets made to specification.
Carpets can be used as stylistic accessories in commercial spaces or for complementing interior decor. A carpet can also make spaces more dynamic. Repeating patterns can add symmetry and beauty or be used to guide guests subconsciously.
SAFER WORKPLACES
Many studies show that commercial carpets prevent fall-related injuries. Slippery flooring options like tiles are responsible for many workplace injuries. Hardwood floors aren’t any better. While they may not be as slippery as tiles, they are hard and capable of inflicting serious injuries during falls.
Besides a commercial carpet reducing the risk of slips and falls, the carpeting can absorb impact and reduce injuries associated with falling on hard surfaces.
CLEANER WORKSPACES
The best commercial carpets are designed for easy cleaning. Special types of commercial carpets, such as an environmental carpet, come with environmentally friendly benefits such as absorbing pollutants. The carpets are also easy to clean and made with sustainability in mind.
What’s more, unlike most commercial flooring, environmental-friendly carpets don’t need to be cleaned with harmful chemicals known to cause chronic respiratory diseases, headaches and allergic reactions. A cleaner/healthier working environment means fewer sick days for staff and medical insurance expenses, which in turn translates to more productivity and profits.
You stand to enjoy many benefits from installing a commercial carpet. Commercial carpeting is not just about aesthetics or reducing noise levels. It’s also about complimenting a working space, lowering cost as well as enjoying environmental-friendly benefits. You need an environmental carpet to maintain a clean commercial establishment, good for you and the environment.
