Philadelphia Commercial Radiate 18x36 Aurora-Inspired Pattern Commercial Carpet Tile

Inspired by the Aurora Borealis, Philadelphia Commercial Radiate (style #54943) is an 18x36 patterned commercial carpet tile that pairs radiant energy with playful design. The pattern blends light and color the way the northern lights do, and the 12-color palette backs that up with unusual shades for commercial carpet: chartreuse, deep teal, evergreen, midnight navy and a dark plum, alongside grays. American production and an all-Eco Solution Q nylon face round out the specs, and the plank format is approved for eight layouts.

Best for: Schools and universities, student lounges, collaboration zones, libraries, coworking spaces and youth or recreation centers.

Specifier Tips

In a school, use Radiate in Luminous or Gleaming for a library or student commons, and Glinting or Dynamic in adjacent corridors to frame it. Beaming and Lustrous are good for university lounges that want color without brightness. Pair Radiate with a neutral gray resilient floor in cafe areas so the pattern stays the focal point.
