Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Couture Peel & Stick Carpet Tiles: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Formaldehyde and VOC off-gassing, Azo dyes and heavy metals in colorants, Dust and dust mite allergens and Moth and insect infestation risk on the Axminster and not on the Foss Floors.
• We flag Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from vinyl, adhesive, and coating, Phthalates or other plasticizers in PVC and adhesive and Adhesive degradation and leaching over time on the Foss Floors and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Foss Floors is Vinyl composition tile (VCT) with adhesive backing and protective coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Axminster is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the Foss Floors grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
