Carpet is thought to have many more appealing benefits than any other floor covering. Its relative use-life can be greatly enhanced by regular maintenance. The average cost of carpet has actually decreased when compared to other consumer goods and floor covering alternatives over the past twenty years. Tufted carpet is manufactured principally in the United States and the carpet industry offers a significant positive contribution to the U.S. balance of trade. The U.S. exports over $750,000,000 in carpet per year and carpet exports are in the state of infancy.
Carpet is more visually appealing. Floorcovering is the single largest area of design in any facility. The psychology of color and softness of touch will create any mood desired. Many psychological studies indicate color can produce a calming effect or hyperactivity or attentiveness, depending on the color selected and the desired response. Carpet has what many people refer to as "built-in attractiveness". Educators enjoy the feeling underfoot and will testify to the fact that physically, teachers complain of back and leg problems on carpeted floors. A recent survey of Florida teachers indicated more that 80% of the teachers surveyed prefer carpet over all other flooring surfaces. This is due to carpet's ability to absorb shock and reduce impact. Color coordination can be more easily achieved and students are more appreciative of its aesthetic values.
According to a university study, students learn at a faster pace on carpet versus VCT. Carpet enhances learning by improving the activity space and creating a more "homelike" atmosphere. Students are more relaxed and more receptive with carpet.
Carpet provides outstanding acoustics. Testing has shown that carpet acts as both a superior floor covering and a versatile acoustical material. Carpet absorbs ten times more airborne noise than any other flooring material and as much as most other types of specialized acoustical material. Lower noise levels reduce disciplinary problems. Excessive sound will disrupt teaching and disturb adjacent classrooms. Since no other floor covering material offers a dual purpose such as this, the initial costs of carpet should be compared to hard-surface flooring with the addition of sound insulation materials. This aspect offers a unique perspective of the "total value" that carpet represents. Carpet offers a much better safety factor than any other floor covering.
According to the National Safety Council, falls are the number one cause for most indoor injuries. Wet or polished hard surfaces are a major contributing factor in a number of these cases. Fewer "fall down" injuries occur due to the non-skid surface of carpet. Carpet reduces the incidence of slips and falls in areas that were previously identified as "high accident" areas. Carpet's ability to cushion falls and prevent serious injuries has limited medical costs and lowered litigation fees. A significant number of grocery stores are converting from tile to carpet due to safety considerations. Also less breakage occurs reducing inventory losses. Another advantage which was discovered by accident is less maintenance time is devoted to "dusting" bottles and cans. Carpet absorbs airborne dust and fungi whereas hard surfaces allow these particulates to remain airborne. In a classroom situation this is extremely important since classrooms are a breeding ground for various illnesses. Carpet can absorb these contaminants until they can be removed by proper maintenance. A recent study in two Florida classrooms indicated a lower airborne particulate count in an occupied, carpeted classroom than in an adjacent occupied VCT classroom despite a higher student population in the carpeted classroom. These respirable particles can increase visits to the school nurse and lower Average Daily Attendance (ADA) thus reducing federal funding . By increasing ADA funds this can lower the cost of carpet even further.
Carpet provides a feeling of warmth with a higher R factor than other types of floor covering. The pile construction of carpet is a highly efficient thermal insulator. Carpet's excellent insulation properties are one factor that is frequently overlooked when cost figures are evaluated. Studies indicate that carpet may aid in sustaining building temperatures over weekends and other non-use periods. Because of its insulation properties most day care centers and elementary schools install carpet to extend the usable learning space in classrooms to the floor. Children can work or play on the carpet as they do at home in total safety and comfort. Data confirms that carpet offers fifty-three percent more insulating capabilities than the finest hard surface floor covering material. While carpet is an excellent insulator and helps reduce energy costs it also offers a psychological effect of warmth and comfort. The cozy atmosphere that carpet creates is much more conducive to learning.

Many people think Dalton Carpet Wholesalers deal only in residential carpet, but a significant portion of their business is in commercial carpet. These wholesalers are actually in a better position to market commercial carpet than local retailers, because they are located at the manufacturing source. These wholesalers can ensure that local manufacturers schedule "runs" so that the entire purchase is manufactured using the same yarn lot and dye lot. This ensures consistency of color match and fewer installation problems. Also, since they deal in volume pricing, large commercial orders receive the best pricing.
Dalton wholesalers routinely sell large hotel chains, restaurant chains, casinos, and national property management companies. They typically combine shipments to negotiate better freight rates, which has recently become a significant portion of the price paid for carpet.
To purchase commercial carpet from a Dalton Carpet Wholesaler, simply identify the style and yardage that you need and contact them through their 800 numbers for carpet prices. Or you may utilize our carpet price service which automatically emails your quote request to numerous wholesalers who compete for your price.

A buyer for a big box store was sentenced to five years in prison for his role in a floorcovering vendor kickback scheme. He made about $200,000 a year in his job buying flooring for the chain and will have to pay nearly $1.2 million in restitution that he took in cash and gifts from flooring manufacturers to get their products in his company's stores.
There are several more being investigated in the scandal and other areas of corruption may come under scrutiny, too. Hopefully investigators will get into fraud and other allegations involving insurance, bidding and supply irregularities in peripheral industries.

Signature Hospitality Carpets and Clayton Miller Hospitality Carpets have purchased together the new ColorPoint tufting technology developed by Card Monroe Corporation.
“The new ColorPoint machine allows for multiple colors, multiple pile heights and a variety of textures and tip-sheared effects, with no limits to size and scale of pattern. The ColorPoint machine is the first to produce patterned carpet with no buried ends and pinpoint stitch accuracy for high definition, detail and clarity.”

Dye Methods:
Solution Dyed - In a solution died carpet the process begins with melting down the polymer into a solution and then dying the entire solution. Next, the solution is astride into the Nylon. This process is similar to a carrot, if you slice it open you see orange through and through. It is orange on the inside and the outside. If you get a stain on a solution dyed product you're able to aggressively clean it out, even a bleaching process will take out the stain and leave the color as good as new.
Yarn Dyed - In a yarn died carpet the process begins by melting down the polymer and astruding it in its natural color, which is clear white. Then the yarn is taken and put in a vat of dye where it is died. This finished product can be compared to a radish. It is red on the outside, but white on the inside. The carpet will have the dye on the exterior of the yarn. In some cases you have to be careful with aggressively cleaning it. If you clean too aggressively you might remove the stain as well as the dye, leaving the white interior of the carpet exposed.

Traditional commercial carpet-cleaning solutions contain a cocktail of synthetic chemicals known to cause kidney, liver and nervous system damage. These chemicals get into the air when applied, and can be ingested by kids who play on the floor soon afterward, and may pollute groundwater if disposed of improperly. Thanks to growing awareness about the potential health impacts of carpet cleaning, a new breed of professional services offers more natural solutions.

Green Carpet Is More Than a Color
Green building is no longer a trend; it is a mainstay. Schools, healthcare facilities, businesses and public facilities recognize the benefits of building green, and governmental entities are even passing laws to mandate future green construction of public and private buildings.
Carpet, carpet pads and carpet adhesives contribute to green building in two important ways: helping reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and emissions and contributing to the growing use of recycle content for building materials.
Because people spend about 90 percent of their time indoors, it is important to do everything possible to maintain the quality of indoor air, especially for new construction and renovation.

GREENFLOORS COMMERCIAL CARPETS AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY

All GreenFloors commercial carpet are certified by the CRI Green Label indoor air quality carpet testing program for volatile organic compounds (VOC)'s.
The CRI Green Label sets the standard to ensure that the consumer is purchasing the lowest emitting interior products on the market.
"Green Label" Testing Program - Carpet Criteria
To identify carpet products that are truly low-VOC, CRI has established a labeling program. The CRI Indoor Air Quality Carpet Testing Program green and white logo informs the consumer that the product type has been tested by an independent laboratory and has met the criteria for very low emissions.
The carpet sample is tested for chemical emissions by Air Quality Sciences, an Atlanta-based, independent laboratory using the latest, most up-to-date, dynamic environmental chamber technology. The test methodology was developed by consensus during an official dialogue with the EPA and has been adopted by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) as D 5116 – Guide for Small-Scale Environmental Chamber Determinations of Organic Emissions from Indoor Materials/Products.
Since the inception of the program in 1992, the industry has made substantial reductions in the levels of TVOCs, as well as reductions in 4-phenylcyclohexene (4-PC), the compound most associated with "new carpet odor."
The carpet manufacturer is allowed to use the CRI/IAQ Carpet Testing Program label for that specific product type if the test result does not exceed the stated emission criteria. The product type number on the label identifies the manufacturer of the carpet and tells the buyer that the manufacturer has produced a product that meets the criteria for low emissions. Products are re-tested quarterly to monitor continued compliance with the test program requirements. Consumers can feel confident in selecting a carpet bearing the CRI Indoor Air Quality label. The label is assurance that the product is a responsible, low-emitting carpet.

Commercial Carpet
In the years past, the commercial carpet market amounted to less than one-third of the total carpet market share. Residential carpet and the residential contract carpet market easily outdistanced commercial carpet in market share and sales growth. However, with recent residential design trends changing to wood floors and laminate flooring, the commercial carpet market has become the steady growth area for the U.S. Carpet Industry.
Commercial carpet sales have averaged a 10% average annual growth over the past several years, while the flooring market has grown at a rate of about 4%. The commercial carpet market, which is also called the contract carpet market by carpet industry officials, continues to grow at a surprising rate despite setbacks in some areas such as schools and healthcare. With growth of commercial carpet use in China, the carpet industry expects robust growth for a number of years to come.

Hospitality Carpet is great! It is the preferred floor covering in 90% of all upscale commercial properties. For decor, acoustics, safety, comfort, cost effectiveness and overall ambiance, carpet is the best choice. Top quality commercial carpet is obvious in appearance and truly enhances all decor. The higher the perception of carpet quality, the higher the perceived image of the property.
Since carpet is the most visible and vulnerable furnishing on your property, it makes sense to know about carpet quality and carpet care. You can invest large sums of money in furniture and fixtures to enhance your property and still not gain the desired image and visitor perception if the carpet is a distraction.
So make sure that you are buying the very best carpet for your property. That means high grade commercial Nylon or Blends. Select colors carefully for image and functionality.
