We can assist you with writing a carpet specification that contains end use performance standards.

We've developed a number of specifications that you can use to ensure that you receive the carpet and service you want. We've taken care of the details and fine print so you can just attach these to your project specifications.

The specifications provided are generic carpet specifications for loop pile carpets to help you as you specify your project. Industry test methods and desired performance ratings are included in the specs because they are the best way to ensure your carpet performance requirements will be met.
