Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Shaw / Grey/Black Patcraft Streamline Carpet Tile: 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 Patcraft.
• We flag Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from stain finish and adhesive, Microplastics from pile shedding during wear and maintenance and Surface chemical migration from stain-resistant treatment (non-PFAS concerns) on the Patcraft and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Patcraft is Nylon/polyester carpet tile with stain-resistant 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 Patcraft grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
