How Much Does Office Carpet Cost in the UAE?
Prices vary by carpet type, fibre, and order size:
- Carpet tiles (modular, 50x50cm): approximately AED 75-130 per square metre, supplied and installed.
- Broadloom (wall-to-wall) carpet: from around AED 35 per square metre upward, depending on fibre and pile.
- Nylon office carpet: typically at the higher end of the range given its durability and stain resistance.
Wholesale and bulk orders for fit-out contractors and multi-floor offices qualify for lower per-square-metre rates. These figures are indicative - request a free quote for pricing specific to your project.
Fibre Types Explained
Office carpet is manufactured from a small number of core fibres, each with different strengths:
- Nylon - the most common choice for UAE offices. Durable, resists crushing under office chairs and heavy footfall, and comparatively budget-friendly. This is our default recommendation for most commercial fit-outs.
- Polypropylene (PP) / Olefin - resists moisture and fading, a cost-effective option for lower-traffic areas.
- Polyester - soft underfoot with good stain resistance, often used where comfort matters more than extreme durability.
- Wool blends - a premium, luxurious feel for executive offices and boardrooms, at a higher price point.
Pile Height and Construction, Explained
- Loop pile - durable and cost-effective, hides footprints and vacuum marks well; the standard choice for open-plan offices and corridors.
- Cut pile - a softer, plusher feel underfoot, better suited to private offices and boardrooms with lower foot traffic.
- Cut-and-loop pile - combines both textures for a patterned, textured look.
- Low pile - easiest to maintain and roll furniture over, common in reception areas.
Carpet Tiles vs Broadloom vs Nylon Office Carpet
Carpet tiles are the most practical choice for most UAE offices: if a section stains or wears out, you replace just that tile instead of the whole floor, and installation is fast with minimal disruption. Broadloom gives a seamless, high-end look better suited to boardrooms and private offices where the budget allows a full-room installation. Our nylon office carpet range (including the Sea Shore collection) is built specifically for heavy daily commercial traffic and stands up well to UAE office conditions, including constant air conditioning and high footfall.
Choosing the Right Office Carpet, Room by Room
- Reception and entrance areas - highest foot traffic; choose durable loop-pile carpet tiles in a darker, forgiving colour.
- Open-plan work areas - carpet tiles for easy spot-replacement and good acoustic performance in busy layouts.
- Boardrooms and private offices - broadloom or cut-pile carpet for a more premium, quiet finish.
- Corridors and high-traffic walkways - heavy-duty nylon loop-pile tiles for maximum durability.
