Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Mesa Boulder Beige Residential 18 x 18 in. Peel and Stick Carpet Tile Square: 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 Volatile organic compounds (VOC) from adhesive backing, Microfiber shedding and inhalation during installation and Adhesive degradation and floor staining over time on the TrafficMaster and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the TrafficMaster is Polypropylene carpet tile with adhesive backing, 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.
