Commercial spaces present unique challenges that require thoughtful rug selection. At Eastern Mills, we've partnered with leading hospitality brands worldwide, developing expertise in creating pieces that marry beauty with durability.
Traffic patterns are the primary consideration in hospitality design. High-traffic areas like lobbies and corridors require dense, tightly woven constructions that resist crushing and show less wear. Our commercial-grade specifications often exceed 100 knots per square inch with reinforced foundations.
Color selection for hospitality must balance aesthetic appeal with practical maintenance. Mid-tones and patterns effectively hide minor soiling between professional cleanings, while darker borders can mask edge wear in frequently traversed areas.
Safety requirements vary by jurisdiction but commonly include fire-resistance ratings and slip-resistance standards. Eastern Mills' hospitality division maintains comprehensive certification documentation to streamline specification processes for designers and procurement teams.
Custom sizing is nearly always required in commercial applications. Our project teams work directly with architects and interior designers to develop pieces that precisely fit specified spaces.
