Philadelphia Commercial United Force 18x36 Color-Stripe Commercial Carpet Tile

Philadelphia Commercial United Force (style #54994) is a striped commercial carpet tile in an 18" x 36" plank that sets bands of bold color over a neutral textured ground, like rays of light breaking through. Shaw describes the stripes as symbolic of people coming together in a spirit of community, and the effect is joyful without overwhelming a room. United Force shares its eight color names with Shared Force. It has a 100% Solution Q nylon face, is made in the USA, and is approved for eight layouts, which lets the stripes run in long lines or turn into herringbone and basketweave patterns.

Best for: Collaboration areas, school commons and classrooms, community centers, coworking spaces, team rooms and corridors that need wayfinding cues.

Installation Methods

United Force is approved for Monolithic, Ashlar, Brick, Stagger, Herringbone, Basketweave, Half Basketweave and Boxed In. With a striped product, layout choice changes the look the most: Monolithic lines the stripes up into continuous bands that can lead people down a hall, offset layouts scatter the color for a lively, broken rhythm, and Herringbone or Basketweave turns the stripes into a structured zigzag or woven pattern. Snap chalk lines and dry-lay a few planks per the installation guide to confirm stripe direction.

Specifier Tips

Lay United Force monolithic down a main corridor so the stripes act as a guide line, then switch to Shared Force in the same color name inside classrooms or meeting rooms for a quieter companion floor. In a large commons, Herringbone in Enthusiastic or Industrious adds movement without a second product. Order samples before finalizing, since the accent stripe colors are not visible in a color swatch name.
