Industrial carpets are specifically designed for durability and to resist staining. They are meant to last for years before needing to be replaced. This is why it is so important to make the right choice of carpet to fit your needs the first time you buy.
Industrial carpets are made of sturdy synthetic fibers which repels dirt, resists stains, and does not crush or pack down with frequent foot traffic, making it perfect for businesses such as doctor offices. This type of commercial-grade carpet is very simple to maintain and typically needs nothing more than regular vacuuming or an occasional steam cleaning with a good quality industrial carpet cleaner. These carpets are made of color fast fibers, which makes them much less likely to fade, even when exposed to constant sunlight. Industrial carpet types which are suitable for high traffic areas are Berber, level loop, and multilevel loop.
Before installing commercial carpeting, it is necessary to remove any old flooring and padding as well as any molding surrounding the perimeter of the room. Next, remove all the tackless strips and make sure your subfloor is clean and dry. Place the tackless strips around the perimeter of the your room, making sure to leave at least a ½ inch space between your wall and the strip. Next, put down carpet pad strips directly on the tackless strips. Use a sharp utility knife to cut the carpet on the backside. Attach and stretch the carpet to the tackless strips by using a knee kicker and complete the process by using a carpet stretcher. Trim any excess carpet with wall trimmers. Finish the process of installation by tucking the carpet down between the strips and the wall and installing door edging strips to cover any gaps.
Industrial carpets are a great value for any business or high traffic area and will provide superior wear and tear resistance for years to come.
