Carpet Tiles, What's The Best Part?

By Lisa Sames


When you are redoing a home or an office, you're looking for the best way to create a look and feel that you want. You are also looking for a way to keep your costs low and to ensure that your home or office has the look and feel that you want.

Chances are you may not even be aware that carpet tile is an option. In fact, there is a good chance that roughly only a third of the people you talk to will have any idea of what it is. Part of the problem is that there are myths that surround carpet tile. An example is that it is very difficult to install carpet tile and it cost an astronomical cost for its upkeep and maintenance. That isn't true though. In fact, it is one of the best flooring materials that can be found. Everyone should be considering it, when trying to add new life into living spaces. Not only do you end up with a better look, but it will also provide additional advantages. Some of those include:

-Carpet tile will end up collecting dust better than standard carpet.

-They are available in many of the same textures, patterns and types of traditional carpets that can be found. When placed, they look and feel like traditional wall to wall carpet, at a better value.

-Carpet tiles typically offer far more walking comfort in places such as nursing homes or even office buildings. They cushion the footfall better than the average industrial flooring.

-Can be installed around floor heating which can be a problem for most types of carpeting.

-The risk of slipping is reduced with carpet tiles, when compared to vinyl floors and other types of carpeting.

-Carpet tiles allow for more versatility. Without many of the restrictions that are normally there, you can get the precise look and feeling in the room that you may be looking for.

-Carpet tiles are easy to replace and you will save money. A lot of tiles won't need to be removed, the entire floor does not need to be redone. Replace only the tiles that are damaged or too heavily soiled to clean well.

-Another benefit of carpet tiles is that the sub floor stays in good repair. Because the adhesive is all that will be required, not much else will be required.

Most homes today are older. Many are not entirely square, making installation of regular carpeting far more difficult to accomplish. Cuts must be made along the entire length of the carpet in order to install it. This can be time-consuming and can cause extra work and extra expense in the installation.

Dust is also going to be less of a problem, when you set up this style of flooring. Carpet tiles can even be used as flooring in areas where the flooring isn't exactly square either. Instead, small areas can be adjusted as needed, until the floor is laid out perfectly.

If you are looking for a simple and cost effective way to create a beautiful home, office or other environment, consider carpet tile. Chances are, you won't find a better solution and in a short period of time, you can see your entire space suddenly transform.

Take a moment to look over all the unique advantages that this type of flooring has to offer. Chances are, you are going to find that it is going to be one of the best purchases that you will make this year.
