Carpet Tiles

Sometimes, practicing the same age-old way of laying tiles or carpet as flooring does get quite monotonous. With a little bit of innovation, laying carpet tiles instead, can lend a brand new look to your home. The only thing that differentiates a carpet tile from a normal tile is the design and the variety of colors. One could experiment by using two or more colors, to make an abstract design. Versatile in use, carpet tiles can also be custom made, taking the length and width of the given room into consideration.

Also called modular tiles, carpet tiles come in small pieces of about 18” square. There are two types of carpet tiles available, comfort plus and hardback. Comfort plus carpet tiles are cushioned and best for home use. Hardback tiles are durable and are best suited for industrial sites, where heavy machines are moved around over them.

You can either do-it-yourself or hire a professional contractor. Installing carpet tiles is easier than installing a broadloom carpet.

A system called the GRID system is used to install carpet tiles. While installing carpet tiles a few simple steps have to be followed in order to match the position of the tiles and design.
