Charcoal Academy Commercial Rated Carpet is a 20-ounce Olefin Product.  Commercial carpet is constructed for high foot traffic.  Consequently, this is why you see a commercial carpet in office buildings and retail stores. For this reason, it normally has a shorter pile height. Residential carpet typically has longer fibers.  This is why it is prone to crushing.  Put simply, the more packed your carpet pile, the denser it is.  It can also be distorted by high levels of foot traffic.  When you walk on carpet, carpet fibers bend and rub against each other.  This causes friction which wears away at the fibers.  However, the closer the carpet piles are packed, the less it will move.  Less movement in your carpet pile means less friction.  The less wear the longer your carpet will last.

Typically, you will find a wider range of colors and styles options for residential carpet compared with commercial carpet.  In busy commercial spaces, dark-colored patterns are a popular choice.  Dark patterns are traditionally more forgiving than solid colors.  Marks and stains over time will blend in with the patterns.

The biggest difference between residential and commercial grade carpet is Expectation. What is a person’s expectation when purchasing a commercial carpet? Commercial grade carpet needs to retain a beautiful appearance for several years. It also needs to provide a well maintained and professional atmosphere.
