When it comes to assessing the performance and longevity of your carpet, you need a clear and objective way to measure its durability.
Many industries require products to pass rigorous independent certifications, but in the carpet industry many manufacturers rely on in-house testing rather than third-party assessment. These tests can be a helpful indication of a carpet tile’s durability, but as each manufacturer has their own testing criteria,it is difficult to accurately compare the durability of products between one manufacturer and another.
Fortunately, there is an independent, third-party test used by several carpet manufacturers to offer an objective durability rating: TARR.
