Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Home Intrigue Tempt by Factory Direct Floor Store: 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 Tarkett.
• We flag Phthalate plasticizers, Flame retardants in backing or wear layer, VOC off-gassing (residual) and Wear layer degradation and surface leaching on the Tarkett and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Tarkett is vinyl composite tile flooring, 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.
