We know that every hospitality project is different, has its own objectives and is aiming for a unique ambiance. It can be difficult to choose which hospitality carpeting is right for your project.
That\'s why we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to walk you through every step of the process, from selection of your hospitality carpet, all the way to installation and care. Enjoy!
Why Use Hospitality Carpets vs. Hard Flooring
To create a unique and comfortable environment that solves for the abundance of sound inherent in hospitality establishments, the best bet is to go for carpets designed specifically for hotels, bars, restaurants, and conference rooms.
While other flooring options, such as hardwood, polished concrete or tiles have their place in certain projects, generally speaking, these options lack the diversity in style, design, texture and construction type that hospitality carpeting can offer. When installed correctly and properly maintained, the benefits of hospitality carpets simply can\'t be beat. Let\'s take a look at some of them:
Benefits of hospitality carpets vs. hard flooring
Diversity of style
Hospitality carpets offer unmatched design versatility. With carpeting, you can choose from a wide array of different colours, patterns and textures, or custom-order a project-specific carpet that matches your hotel or bar environment. In the hospitality industry, this versatility is crucial! Whether you\'re designing a hotel, bar, restaurant or club, these unique carpet design choices will directly affect the guest experience.

In the past, the choice of a standard selection vs. custom carpet design was a question of budget, time constraints and desired lavishness. Today, this is not the case. Advancements in dye-injection technology mean custom carpet designs for hotels and hospitality in general, are faster and more cost-effective. Only your imagination sets the limit.

Hospitality carpets offer great durability
While durability is often cited as a main argument against carpets, this need not be the case. A high-quality hospitality carpet that\'s correctly specified will last you 8-10 years.
To make sure you get a durable carpet for your hotel or restaurant, be sure to choose a manufacturer that adheres to proper international standards.
As a carpet manufacturer, you know that accounting for noise is critical for hospitality projects. Your job is to facilitate intimate environments, in spite of the many people within them. This is where hospitality carpets comes in handy, providing clear acoustic benefits. Carpets reduce noise by absorbing sound, rather than reflecting it as hard surfaces do. Here at ege, we even provide specialised acoustic backing, made specifically for hospitality environments, for further dampening effect in.

No more static electricity with a hospitality carpet
Static electricity and the shocks that you get from it can be quite the annoyance. The great news is, it can be easily avoided by choosing a hospitality carpet that contains conductive fibres and is permanently anti-static.
Hospitality carpets can help control temperature control and improve energy efficiency
The fibres in carpets act as natural thermal insulators. This means that carpets feel warmer and does not draw warmth from the feet as quickly as smooth flooring does. Not only does this make for a cozy environment, but it also makes hospitality carpets more energy efficient than hard flooring.
The temperature in a carpeted room can be lowered 2-3 degrees Celsius without the room feeling any colder. As you can imagine, this could have significant effect on the energy bill of a hotel with hundreds of rooms!
Improve safety with a hospitality carpet
Carpet is a safer option than hard-surface alternatives. Its springy fibres create a cushion-like effect that\'s better for preventing back pain or injury to joints. Further, carpet provides a better foothold than smooth flooring. This means falls are less likely, and when they do occur, the consequences are far less severe.
Sustainability
Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important design consideration. More and more, we hear of clients requesting that architects and designers incorporate sustainability into their hospitality projects. Is sustainability a main concern for your project? If so, choose a carpet manufacturer that considers and actively addresses their environmental impact at every step of the manufacturing process. One particular area of concern you should be aware of is what their carpet backing is made of. Many manufacturers, for example, use bitumen and PVC in their carpet backing, which is harmful to the environment. Look for manufacturers, such as Marico Diamond carpet, who actively avoid these additives.
