These are exciting times for the commercial design industry. New colors are constantly being introduced and applied in fresh and unexpected ways. Innovative products continue to inspire for their form and functionality. The way we think about the spaces we work, live and play in continues to evolve. In short, architects, designers, and manufacturers are all pushing the limits of what's possible.

So, what does this mean for commercial carpet products in the new year? We have some thoughts!

More Custom Colors and Carpets – Our carpet mill customers frequently ask for new and custom colors, and we are happy to oblige! This trend is driven by product design teams and designers who realize that as the most abundant surface for any interior, carpet can play a major role in making a design statement. As color experts for more than 40 years, we're proud to be able to work hand-in-hand with our mill partners and designers to help them create the custom colors they desire.

Greater Styling Versatility – The "blending" of interior spaces continues. Many offices today integrate a residential or homey feel to them. Senior living spaces are bringing in themes typically found in a hospitality setting. This new reality requires manufacturers to think differently and develop crossover products that are versatile enough to work in many different end-use spaces. Zeftron nylon is a highly flexible fiber when it comes to styling.

Exceptional Performance – The more things change, the more they stay the same. Designers expect more from the products they specify today. Zeftron nylon is the only fiber brand that offers designers the peace-of-mind they need when it comes to performance. Concerns about staining, color fading and wear become a non-factor when specifying a carpet made with Zeftron nylon.

More Green – One could argue that having a sustainable product is a given in today's marketplace. Yet sustainability should never be a given or an afterthought. As a fully closed-loop recyclable nylon with a minimum of 25 percent recycled content in every color, Zeftron continues to be a responsible steward of the earth and its resources.
