An article in the June 2015 issue of Construction Specifier describes patterns for carpet tile installation. It illustrates a pattern it calls "ASHLAR". (You can see an illustration of pattern at http://tinyurl.com/q2q79qu). The pattern has nothing to do with the established meaning of "ashlar" from the stone industry.
- Does this bother anyone besides me?
- Is there a better, alternative term in use?

Michael, the only thing disturbing is that you are asking about carpet patterns at 1:35am.
How about "ashlar-like" or better yet better I go back to sleep. Good night Michael. |

"Ashlar" is a recognized term in the carpet industry, for installation of modular carpet. The Carpet and Rug Institute, in their "CRI Carpet Installation Standard", discusses "installation geometry (monolithic, ashlar, quarter turn, etc.)"
I see no problem with the same term being used for two different trades--even though the carpet use obviously derives from the stone use. There are bigger issues to be bothered about. |
