Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Basics 24 x 24 Carpet Tile EnviroStrand PET Fiber: 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 Mohawk.
• We flag Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from adhesives and sizing agents, Flame retardant chemical residues and Formaldehyde in backing or binder resins on the Mohawk and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Mohawk is PET (polyethylene terephthalate) fiber, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
