Carpet Tile

Product Description

Carpet tiles, also known as modular carpets or carpet squares, offer a modern and practical alternative to traditional broadloom carpeting. These pre-cut squares of carpeting are designed for easy installation, maintenance, and flexible design, making them a popular choice for both residential and commercial spaces. 

Key features and benefits

•  Carpet tiles are significantly easier and faster to install than broadloom carpet. They often come with pre-attached backing and can be laid directly onto the subfloor, eliminating the need for separate underlayment and simplifying the process. This ease of installation also translates to less disruption and downtime during renovation or fitting.
• Design Versatility: Carpet tiles offer limitless design possibilities, allowing you to get creative with your flooring. They are available in a wide range of colors, patterns, textures, and even shapes, including squares and planks. This versatility enables you to create unique layouts, color block designs, or even incorporate custom patterns to personalize your space.
• Durability and Resilience: Many carpet tiles are designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, making them suitable for high-traffic areas in offices, schools, and homes. Nylon carpet tiles, for example, are renowned for their durability and stain resistance.
• Ease of Maintenance: Maintaining carpet tiles is straightforward. They are easy to vacuum and spot clean, and individual tiles can be removed, cleaned, or replaced if they become stained or damaged, eliminating the need to replace the entire floor. This modularity also allows for easy access to underfloor cabling or utilities.
• Acoustic Benefits: Carpet tiles help to absorb sound and reduce noise levels, creating a quieter and more comfortable environment, particularly beneficial in open office spaces or rooms with hard surfaces. Cushion-backed options offer even greater sound absorption and underfoot comfort.
• Cost-Effective: While the initial cost of carpet tiles can be comparable to traditional carpets, the long-term savings from easier installation, reduced maintenance, and the ability to replace individual tiles make them a cost-effective choice. Less waste during installation and the potential for reduced energy consumption due to their insulation properties further contribute to cost savings.
• Eco-Friendly Options: Many carpet tile manufacturers offer environmentally friendly options made from recycled materials, such as regenerated nylon from discarded fishing nets, contributing to a reduced environmental footprint. Some even feature eco-friendly backing made from recycled plastic bottles.
• Comfort and Warmth: Carpet tiles provide a comfortable surface to walk on and offer insulation against the cold, adding warmth and coziness to any room.
