Specification

The functional benefits and performance characteristics of a carpet will depend greatly on proper specification.

Properly specifying carpet is important to those who purchase, sell, install, and use carpet. Proper commercial carpet

specification includes considerations for fiber type and carpet construction, tufted texture, backing type, method of

dyeing, color or shade, and installation specification to meet a site’s daily traffic load requirements. Properly specified

carpet contributes to the decorative qualities and comfort of a commercial facility, and is the beginning of a successful,

long-lasting installation. Beaulieu's exceptional line of commercial carpets, provide the outstanding wear, and abrasion

resistance, cleanability, and other performance features designed to meet the rugged demands required of commercial

carpet.

Another significant consideration regarding commercial carpet specification is to ensure the carpet can be easily

maintained. By following a properly planned and effective cleaning schedule, you will significantly help protect carpet

fibers against damage caused by abrasive soiling, which will extend its life, and allow it to continue to promote and

enhance your professional work environment. This brochure is designed to help you understand the warranties that

apply to your Beaulieu® OmniLoc Modular Carpet Tile sold by The Home Depot, to help your facilities manager design

a preventative maintenance plan, and to develop an effective carpet cleaning and maintenance program. To comply

with your warranty obligations, all commercial carpet care and maintenance products and cleaning equipment must be

certified by the CRI Seal of Approval (SOA) Program (www.carpet-rug.org) and be performed by a certified

professional carpet cleaner. Listed here are spot cleaners, traffic lane cleaners, in-tank detergents and extractors

demonstrated to meet the very stringent carpet cleaning capabilities set forth in this program. The CRI Green Label

(GL) program lists recommended vacuum cleaners that have also demonstrated a similarly high level of carpet

cleaning efficacy while releasing the least amount of dusts during vacuuming.

Preventative Maintenance

Preventative maintenance provides a more cost effective means to maintain your commercial carpet investment. A

properly thought-out carpet care and maintenance program begins with preventative maintenance. Preventative

maintenance in commercial facilities typically includes the use of frequently cleaned or replaced walk-off mats placed in

strategic exterior building entry ways and transition areas. Included with good ground-keeping practices in key exterior

areas, walk off mats will reduce the amount of soil tracked onto your carpet. Similar protective mats should be placed

around food stations, public restrooms and water coolers, and in front of elevators and stair thresholds. In addition to

this, preventative maintenance requires compliance with a routine vacuuming program that will vary in frequency,

based on recognized soiling patterns. The use of chair mats is required under chairs equipped with casters to prevent

damage caused by grinding dry abrasive soil into the carpet. Preventative maintenance can include the use of

portable hot water extractors, pile lifting and fast drying liquid encapsulates.

Vacuuming

Routine vacuuming will remove as much as 90% of dry soils which if not removed, will accelerate fiber wear, dull the

carpet, and shorten its useful lifecycle. For commercial carpet needs, the use of a two-motor upright vacuum model

equipped with a rotary brush is recommended. A proper and effective vacuuming program is the most essential

consideration of a well-designed commercial carpet maintenance program. Listed below are examples of the expected

vacuuming frequencies required, based on daily commercial traffic load needs and facility applications. In general, it is

recommended to vacuum back and forth and side to side, using a minimum of four passes in each direction. To keep

a vacuum operating most efficiently, empty canisters, and dispose of bags before they reach full capacity.

Vacuuming Frequencies Because the vast majority of soils are tracked-on, vacuuming frequencies should be determined by using a copy of the facility floor plan and the chart below to identify the type of traffic each area is subjected to on a daily basis. Traffic types can be broken down into Light, Medium, and Heavy Traffic categories which are based on the number of times a person walks on a specific concentrated area.
