Philadelphia Commercial String It 18x36 Earthy-Texture Commercial Carpet Tile

Philadelphia Commercial String It (style #54914) is an earthy, textile-inspired commercial carpet tile in an 18" x 36" plank size, made in the USA, that takes its cue from natural fibers and craft materials, offering a warm, tactile contrast to screen-heavy workplaces. Shaw describes it as balancing subtle nuances of pattern, color and texture for a grounded, earthy floor. String It is part of a three-style family with Knot It and Weave It, all in the same plank size. Its 12 colors run from soft rosy taupe to deep oxblood and true black, and it is approved for eight layouts.

Best for: Tech and creative offices, libraries, higher-education lounges, wellness and counseling spaces, senior living common areas and hospitality back-of-house offices.

Installation Methods

String It can be installed Stagger, Brick, Ashlar, Monolithic, Herringbone, Basketweave, Half Basketweave or Boxed In. The offset methods (Stagger, Brick, Ashlar) give the planks a relaxed linear flow that suits the textile character of the design, while Herringbone and Basketweave create a crafted, woven look that echoes the style name. When mixing String It with Knot It or Weave It, keep the same method in each zone so the transitions read as intentional. Layout diagrams and adhesive directions are in the installation guide.

Specifier Tips

Use Strand or Tangle as the main field and frame lounge or reading areas with Loop or Twist in a herringbone layout for a warm, residential feel. To mix the family, keep String It in open areas and bring Weave It or Knot It into enclosed rooms in a matching color name. Chain is the only cool tone, so save it for a single accent zone rather than scattering it across the floor.
