The Texture Appearance Retention Rating (TARR) system is a way to measure the durability of commercial carpet, based on how well it can maintain its appearance over time under various levels of foot traffic.
It evaluates how much wear the carpet can endure before showing visible signs of damage or flattening.
Moderate (≥ 2.5 TARR): This rating indicates that the carpet can withstand moderate foot traffic, making it suitable for areas like small offices or conference rooms.
Heavy (≥ 3.0 TARR): This rating shows that the carpet is more durable, able to handle areas with higher foot traffic, such as lobbies or retail stores.
Severe (≥ 3.5 TARR): This rating is for carpets that need to endure heavy, constant use, such as in hallways or busy commercial spaces with lots of movement.
Special (> 3.5 TARR): These carpets are made for extreme traffic conditions, ideal for areas with very high foot traffic like airports, malls, or other highly frequented spaces.
The higher the TARR rating, the more durable the carpet is against wear and tear from foot traffic.
Commercial grade carpet flooring is often more affordable per square foot, largely due to its mass production for large-scale commercial use.

Carpets with higher TARR ratings (such as severe or special ratings) are better for areas with high foot traffic, while lighter-rated carpets may be suitable for less frequented areas.
