The choice of carpet specified for a commercial interior is one of the most definitive elements of the entire project. As the first thing most people will see when entering the room, and covering one of the largest surface areas, the obvious impact carpet design has on overall aesthetics is immense.

In addition to design, commercial carpets must be able to withstand the inevitable high foot traffic, and provide easy installation and ongoing maintenance for minimal disruption to business.

As one of the world’s most revered carpet designers and manufacturers, House of Tai Ping has come to represent brilliant design and luxury in every carpet produced, and the 1956 by Tai Ping range created especially for commercial applications addresses the unique challenges faced in high end commercial buildings including clubs, hotels, bars, restaurants and even offices.

1956 by Tai Ping Axminster carpet tile ticks all of the boxes when it comes to the form and functionality required in modern Australian buildings. With a stunning range of completely customisable design motifs, the 1956 by Tai Ping offers unlimited design options, completely reinventing the look of some of Australia’s most prominent commercial venues.

The recently developed, state-of-the-art Roy Hill Mining headquarters utilised over 6500sqm of bespoke 1956 by Tai Ping carpets to help achieve a strong and striking corporate identity. The custom design incorporated a stone-clad courtyard, reflection ponds, and colours, materials and landscape themes which reflect the location of the mine at Roy Hill.

A number of Australia’s leading clubs have realised the multiple benefits of using the 1956 by Tai Ping in their gaming and bar areas. While the addition of stunning new designs has helped elevate the spaces to a new level aesthetically, it is perhaps the versatility and convenience of the 1m x 1m Axminster carpet tiles which have provided the most significant rewards.

In an industry where every hour of trade is critical to the bottom dollar, it’s important to minimise the downtime experienced in refurbishments and renovations. The easy installation of the 1m x 1m carpet tiles means there is no need to shut down an entire area of the venue, but simply work through in small sections, creating less disruption to operations and to patrons, and enabling business to continue without hassle.

The ability to remove and replace one tile at a time also means that ongoing maintenance can be performed in the same fashion, and makes it easy to get underneath the tiles to access electrical wiring.

Carpet performance is key, and central to creating a comfortable environment for those within. Showcasing beauty as well as strength in an 80% wool and 20% nylon blend or 100% nylon pile fibre blend, the 1956 by Tai Ping Axminster tiles provide softness and luxury with resilience and durability, making it ideal for high traffic areas.

Manufactured with EcoSoft premium cushion tile backing, made from 80% recycled PET bottles, 1956 by Tai Ping can provide twice the sound absorption of traditional hardback tiles, greatly improving the acoustics of a space.

When The Great Hall at the National Gallery of Victoria was recently refurbished, 1956 by Tai Ping Axminster with EcoSoft backing was chosen to meet the specific needs of the space. The rich colour of the carpet was chosen to complement the stunning stained glass ceiling, with the acoustic properties of the EcoSoft meaning that up to 1400 guests who regularly attend the functions at the venue were now able to enjoy the nights in a significantly quieter and more relaxed environment.
