Philadelphia Commercial Layers 9x36 Banded-Stone Plank Commercial Carpet Tile

Layers is a 9" x 36" plank-format commercial carpet tile from Philadelphia Commercial, style #54833, with a stratified pattern drawn from banded stone and colors named after minerals such as Obsidian, Azurite and Yellow Jasper. The narrow plank shape lends itself to directional layouts, so the banding can run the length of a corridor or turn into herringbone at a lobby. Its yarn is Eco Solution Q nylon, set over a performance backing, and Layers is a USA-made product. Its ten colors range from pale citrine stone to near-black tourmaline, giving corporate, education and hospitality projects movement with a natural feel.

Best for: Corporate corridors, hotel hallways, university buildings, museum and gallery offices, retail offices and reception areas.

Colors

• Septarian 33100: warm taupe, a middle-ground stone tone.
• Natural Citrine 33105: the lightest color, a pale sandstone beige.
• Azurite 33405: cool, dark blue-leaning gray.
• Pietersite 33501: dark warm gray-brown with an earthy depth.
• Pyrite 33503: light silvery gray.
• Dalmatian Jaspe 33505: light greige, soft and versatile.
• Obsidian 33507: dark smoky gray.
• Black Tourmalin 33515: deep charcoal, the darkest stone in the set.
• Fire Agate 33700: dark brown with a warm glow.
• Yellow Jasper 33705: golden brown with ochre warmth.

Light stones, mid grays and dark minerals give a natural three-tier range. Free Layers samples show how the banding looks at full size.

Why Choose Layers 9x36

• Stratified, banded-stone pattern with mineral-inspired color names
• Narrow 9" x 36" plank for directional and herringbone layouts
• Five approved installation methods
• Eco Solution Q® nylon over a performance backing
• Made in the USA by Philadelphia Commercial

Installation Methods

Layers is approved for herringbone, ashlar, brick, offset and stagger; the style page does not list monolithic or quarter turn for this plank. Ashlar, brick, offset and stagger shift the joints between rows so the narrow planks read like a stone or wood floor, while herringbone turns the 9x36 format into a sharp zigzag that works as a lobby or entry feature. The Layers spec sheet covers installation requirements.
