Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Canyon Residential/Commercial 18 in. x 18 Peel and Stick 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 TrafficMaster.
• We flag PFAS in stain-resistant finish, Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing and Adhesive degradation and off-gassing over time on the TrafficMaster and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the TrafficMaster is Vinyl/polyester carpet tile with stain-resistant finish, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 30 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Axminster is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the TrafficMaster grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
