Residential
grade or commercial grade?
I'm betting
that you didn't even know you had the option! Well, you do.
I'm going to share with you the benefits of using both.
The practical appproach for
most businesses would be to use the commercial grade carpet
for your project. Here's why:
It's likely that you will
be needing a product that can endure heavy traffic. Commercial
grade carpets have a shorter pile height. This ensures that
the carpet will stand up to prolonged use and the constant
traffic seen in most office environments.
Recommended for tradeshows
and lobbies.
Why would you use residential
grade when it's obvious that commercial grade is designed for
this purpose? Using
residential grade carpet can make an impressive statement.
Imagine a thick plush carpet, usually reserved for the upscale
market, with your logo inlaid into the field.
Truth is these residential
rugs can handle relatively high traffic. Yes they do cost
more, yet the statement is well worth the cost for some buyers.
It's definitely an option to consider.
I've made my share of both.
There's more labor involved with this approach, including
the unique handcarved sculptured look that is a signature
of a master rugmaker.
The hand carving is used in
all of the rugs we make, it's a difference by degrees as to
how much it's used.
I do recommend the res. grade
if you plan to hang it on the wall or if you're an upscale
business that caters to those who expect more posh environs.
Why
would you hang it on the wall?
Well, I can only tell you
that in some instances these projects take on a life of their
own. The design may be intricate, the colors may be magical,
or the finished piece looks too good to be walked on.
If this happens to you...
you'll know. And you can't say I didn't warn you!
Cheers to you and good health!
