Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Dark Pattern Carpet Tile Pallet, 1000 Sq Ft Commercial Grade: 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 Interface.
• We flag Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from stain/soil treatment, Flame retardant chemical residue (if present in treatment), Fiber shedding and inhalation of treated nylon/polyester particles and Degradation of stain coating over time and chemical leaching on the Interface and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Interface is Nylon/polyester blend carpet tile with stain/soil treatment, 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 Interface grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
