Carpet Tiles
Steps
Clean the floor and ensure that it is dry.
Chalk out the flooring area to be worked upon
With a paint roller, apply the sensitive glue and leave it to dry (maybe overnight)
When putting a tile down, first test the dryness of the glue
Start placing tiles along the chalked out area (the arrows on the back of the tiles should all be pointing in the same direction)
Use water to moisten the floor if the glue gets too stiff
You can use a knife to cut the tiles he same steps can be followed for both home and office installation. Although, when it comes to office installation there is a time constraint because of the inability to move furniture during working hours. Therefore another system called the LIFT system is sometimes used wherein furniture is moved to a different place for the time being and later put back in place.
Maintenance
When a tile is soiled or torn because of some accident it can be easily replaced.
Even though vacuuming is enough, scrubbing and mopping is suggested in order to keep the tiles disinfected.
Avoid pouring boiling hot water and placing hot machines or vessels on the tiles.

Being inexpensive, it is convenient to stock up on spare tiles for use in future. Unlike broadloom, carpets tiles are lighter, and easy to move around the house when installing. Besides being comfortable to walk upon, carpet tiles reduce the noise level, as the sound is dampened by the soft surface.
Designing a new look for you floor has never been easier. Carpet tiles offer the liberty to change the design as and when one wants.
