Abstract

The circumstances in which carpet is specified will vary from new premises where advice may be sought from consultants, to the replacement of floor coverings in a small part of old-premises where the objective could be to 'get something as good as the carpet that lasted 25 years that has just worn out'. The specifier may be an expert in the field, or a jack-of-all-trades dependent on the local carpet supplier for advice and help. This article is directed towards the facilities manager with no expert knowledge and aims to provide him with the right questions. Some he will then be able to answer for himself: others he will be qualified to pass on to a resident expert or to an outside consultant.
