Commercial carpet flooring has to cope with heavy foot traffic, office chairs and regular cleaning, and still look good for staff and customers. For most offices, shops and strata buildings, the choice comes down to broadloom or carpet tiles in the right fibre, plus slip-resistant safety vinyl for kitchens and wet areas. This guide covers each option and the commercial ranges we carry.
Broadloom is carpet that comes on a wide roll and runs wall to wall. Carpet tiles are smaller squares laid in a grid. Both suit commercial spaces; the right one depends on how the space is used.
Loop pile is common in commercial carpet, because loops resist crushing and help hide everyday soiling. All of our commercial broadloom ranges are loop pile constructions. For a deeper comparison, read our guide to carpet tiles vs broadloom.
Wool brings a natural, warm feel to boardrooms, receptions and executive offices. Our commercial carpet ranges list the fibre, pile weight and roll width, so you can compare them side by side.
| Range | Fibre and construction | Pile weight | Colours | Contract cover |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kingsgate Heather | 100% wool level loop pile, heathered palette, 3.66m roll | 40oz (1360g/m²) | 7 | “7 year contract guarantee available on request” |
| Kingsgate Town 48oz | 90% wool / 10% nylon level loop pile, 3.66m roll | 48oz (1628g/m²) | 9 | “7 year contract guarantee available on request” |
| Netcorp | 100% wool needlepoint patterned loop pile, 3.66m roll for direct stick installation | 40oz (1360g/m²) | 7 | “7 year contract guarantee available on request” |
| York Street | 100% wool textured loop pile, 3.66m roll | 40oz (1360g/m²) | 3 | “7 year contract guarantee available on request” |
Pile weight is the amount of yarn in each square metre. Ask us for the contract details with your quote.
In solution-dyed nylon, the colour is added before the fibre is spun, so it goes right through each strand. It suits busy offices and shared spaces. Forge Ahead is a Feltex textured tufted loop pile in 100% Statron Plus® solution-dyed nylon. It comes in six colours with a 15 year limited wear warranty.
Our carpet tiles give you a modular floor that is easy to repair and zone with colour. Three Victoria Carpets ranges come with full specifications:
We also carry Glacier, Horizon, Pick Up Sticks, Lakeside and other tile ranges. Ask us for the specification sheet, or see the samples in a showroom.
Where floors get wet or greasy, safety vinyl sheet is the better fit. It has slip resistance built into the surface. In Australia, slip resistance is classified under AS 4586: P ratings come from a wet pendulum test and R ratings from an oil-wet ramp test. The higher the number, the more grip. Wet barefoot areas such as showers and change rooms have their own barefoot ramp classes (A, B and C), so ask for those too.
| Range | Rating | Listed for |
|---|---|---|
| Safeguard R10 | P3 / R10 | Commercial kitchens, wet areas, retail, education, healthcare |
| Safeguard R11 | P4 / R11 | Commercial kitchens, education, healthcare, aged care |
| Safeguard R12 | P5 / R12 | Commercial kitchens, areas with constant water or spills |
| Accolade Safe | P4 / R10 | Healthcare, aged care, hospitality, light industrial |
| Accolade Foothold | P4 / R11 | Wet barefoot areas in healthcare, aged care, education |
| Natralis Foothold | P4 / R11 | Ensuites, bathrooms and shower rooms |
Accolade Safe, Accolade Foothold and Natralis Foothold are Australian made. Always check the rating your project needs with your designer, builder or certifier. Our safety vinyl flooring guide explains the ratings in more detail, and you can browse the full range on our commercial flooring page.
At the measure, tell us your trading hours, which areas need to stay open and where furniture or equipment will need to move. We can then discuss whether the job could be staged area by area or scheduled for quieter times, and confirm what is possible in your quote.
The site check also covers the subfloor. Old flooring may need to come up, and concrete may need moisture testing or levelling before carpet or vinyl goes down. In buildings built before 1990, old vinyl, lino or the adhesive under them may contain asbestos. Check your building’s asbestos register, or have the flooring tested before it is lifted, and share the result with us before the quote. Commercial carpet and tiles are often glued down; we confirm the method at the measure. Under the National Construction Code, floor coverings in most commercial buildings and in strata common areas must meet fire hazard requirements, tested to AS ISO 9239.1. Ask your builder or certifier what your building needs, and ask us for each range’s fire test report with the specification sheet. Our installation team handles professional installation, and Royal Floors gives a 2 year installation warranty. Product warranties come from the manufacturer, as set out on our warranty page.

It depends on the space. Carpet tiles let you replace a worn or stained tile without redoing the room, which suits busy open-plan offices. Broadloom gives a seamless look that suits boardrooms, receptions and long corridors.
Pile weight is the amount of yarn in each square metre of carpet. A heavier pile weight means more yarn. Our commercial wool ranges list it on the product page, for example 40oz (1360g/m²) for Kingsgate Heather.
Always follow your project specification, which is usually based on Standards Australia’s handbook SA HB 198. In our range, Safeguard R12 is rated P5 / R12 for commercial kitchens and areas with constant water or spills. Safeguard R10 and R11 also list commercial kitchens, so check which rating your kitchen needs.
Talk to us about it at the measure. We can discuss your trading hours, whether the work could be staged area by area, and what timing is possible for your job.
