Philadelphia Commercial Basin 9x36 Valley-Pattern Commercial Carpet Tile Plank

Philadelphia Commercial Basin (style #54847) is a slim 9" x 36" plank-format commercial carpet tile with an organic pattern that replicates the gentle, rolling texture of a grassy valley. The narrow plank is the headline: only 9 inches wide, it draws long, wood-like lines across a room and makes herringbone feel finely scaled. Basin is produced in America from Eco Solution Q nylon and shares all twelve color names with Arid 18x36, its textured counterpart, so the pair can be planned as one system.

Best for: Hospitality lobbies and corridors, higher-education student centers, libraries, wellness clinics and offices pursuing a nature-inspired, biophilic interior.

Colors

• Butte 00200: dusty khaki greige with a soft olive drift.
• Dunes 00214: a light, warm sand beige for brighter rooms.
• Monadnock 00220: mustard-gold tan reminiscent of late-summer grass.
• Taiga 00315: mossy olive green with an organic, earthy feel.
• Archipelago 00408: medium cool gray carrying a faint green note.
• Summit 00500: pale putty gray, among the lightest values.
• Glacier 00510: silvery mid gray on the cool side.
• Lavafield 00540: slate charcoal, the darkest Basin neutral.
• Pingo 00702: light mushroom with a gentle warmth.
• Salt Flat 00710: olive-brown khaki of medium depth.
• Mesa 00801: warm clay beige with a pink-tan cast.
• Miombo 00816: brick red-brown, a confident accent tone.

In product photos, most Basin colors read slightly lighter than their Arid namesakes, so lay both samples side by side before you finalize a pairing.

Why Choose Basin 9x36

• Narrow 9x36 plank that creates long, linear floor lines
• Organic valley-inspired pattern for biophilic design
• Color-matched by name to the Arid 18x36 texture tile
• Eco Solution Q nylon, manufactured in the USA
• Five approved layouts including Herringbone and Offset

Installation Methods

Philadelphia Commercial approves Basin for Herringbone, Offset, Stagger, Brick and Ashlar. Because the plank is so slim, Herringbone produces a tight, tailored chevron that suits reception and lounge areas, while Stagger and Offset layouts read like a hardwood floor and pull the eye down a corridor. Brick and Ashlar shift each course by a set fraction for a more ordered look. Monolithic and Quarter Turn are not on the approved list. See the spec sheet for installation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is Basin carpet tile? Philadelphia Commercial Basin is a 9" x 36" carpet plank, a narrow format that creates linear, wood-like layouts and a fine-scaled herringbone.

Which carpet tile pairs with Basin? Basin pairs with Arid 18x36, which uses the same twelve color names. Basin brings the rolling valley pattern and Arid adds a cracked-earth texture.

Can Basin plank tile be installed in herringbone? Yes. Herringbone is approved for Basin 9x36, along with Offset, Stagger, Brick and Ashlar layouts.

Why choose a 9x36 plank over a 24x24 carpet tile? A 9x36 plank like Basin draws strong directional lines and enables slim herringbone patterns, while a 24x24 square suits quarter turn and grid layouts. Planks are often chosen to echo wood flooring or to lengthen a corridor.

Is Basin a good fit for hotels? Basin works well in hotel lobbies and corridors because its valley-inspired pattern feels residential and calm, and the Stagger or Offset layout can guide guests along a hallway.

Specifier Tips

In a hotel corridor, run Basin in Stagger along the length of the hall in Pingo or Summit and switch to Arid in Lavafield at elevator lobbies. For a library reading room, Taiga in Herringbone makes a soft green focal zone next to oak shelving. When the plank meets LVT, a reducer strip set parallel to the long edge keeps the transition clean.
