TCO Calculator

What is the TCO calculator?

When comparing the life cycle costs of 2 similar commercial carpet options, fibre type can have a considerable impact. The TCO calculator, designed to provide an "apples to apples" comparison for a carpet of Antron® and an alternate specification, can help you make the best fibre choice for your long-term investment.

By comparing aesthetics, construction and fibre characteristics for two similar commercial carpets the model Learn More can predict expected soil performance. In addition, the TCO calculator will consider key factors that impact the maintenance of your building. By inputting number of foot traffics and your cost of the cleaning, the model will calculate the predicted savings for a carpet of Antron® over the competitive option.

The TCO model illustrates the impact that fibre, pattern, colour, and texture have on the cost of carpet maintenance. The model does not account for the difference in carpet life cycles. Carpet of Antron® is engineered to stay newer looking longer and will out-perform carpets of similar construction using other fibre. While the TCO Calculator demonstrates the benefit of Antron® with respect to maintenance cost savings, it does not show the distinct advantage Antron® has with respect to longer life on the floor.

Ready to Compare

To begin, choose two commercial carpets that are similar in colour, pattern and texture. Have your carpet of Antron® and your alternate carpet specification handy for comparison. Follow the step-by-step instructions to compare the soil performance rating for your carpets of choice.
