Philadelphia Commercial Semblance 24x24 Patterned Commercial Carpet Tile

Philadelphia Commercial Semblance (style #54949) is a patterned 24x24 commercial carpet tile designed as the companion to the Forma style, sharing its color palette, and built from Pivotal® fiber (100%) above a performance backing. It is made in the USA and offered in a tight, six-color range of deep grays, a blue-slate and two warm browns, which keeps selection simple on multi-floor projects. The manufacturer lists Quarter Turn as its installation method, so Semblance is set up for a classic alternating-square floor in offices and other multi-use commercial spaces.

Best for: Corporate offices, government and municipal buildings, professional services suites, multi-use training centers and coworking floors.

Colors

• Association 00400: deep blue-gray slate, the only cool-blue option.
• Relation 00500: neutral mid-dark gray that suits almost any finish.
• Inclination 00505: dark graphite with a clean, neutral tone.
• Connection 00510: charcoal with a warm brown undertone.
• Alliance 00700: warm taupe, the lightest of the six.
• Comparison 00705: dark umber brown for a rich, grounded floor.

Four of the six Semblance colors are gray-based; Alliance and Comparison add warmth. Free samples make it easy to compare them with Forma.

Why Choose Semblance 24x24

• Designed as a companion to Forma in a shared palette
• Pivotal® fiber face (100%) with a performance backing
• Six focused colors that simplify specification
• Quarter Turn installation for an alternating, seam-hiding floor
• Manufactured in the USA

Installation Methods

Philadelphia Commercial lists Quarter Turn for Semblance. Each square is rotated 90 degrees relative to its neighbors, so the pile direction alternates across the room. The result is a soft parquet-like grid that disguises seams and makes a single replacement tile hard to spot. Shaw's installation guide covers adhesive and layout steps.

Specifier Tips

For agencies that standardize finishes, pick one Semblance color for all general office areas, such as Relation, and reserve Comparison or Association for leadership suites. Pair Semblance with Forma in the same color to separate open office from conference rooms. Because only one method is listed, include "Quarter Turn" explicitly in your installation specification.
