What is a carpet tile?
You’ve probably already seen carpet
tiles in offices, hotels, and restaurants; carpet tiles are ideal for
commercial carpet environments. However, homeowners are discovering
just how much fun, durable and versatile these are for homes, popping
up in playrooms, family rooms, and basements. They can even be fitted
together to make an area rug or carpet. So be sure to explore them
when you come into our carpet store in Mesa,
AZ.
Exploring carpet tiles
Sometimes referred to as modular or
square carpets, these are typically available in 18 X 18 and 24 X 24
sizes in a wide array of fibers, including nylon, polyester, olefin
(polypropylene), Triexta, and wool. These squares offer broadloom
benefits, including comfort, warmth, and sound insulation, the latter
having even more sound absorption because of the density and
layering. This makes them ideal for noisy environments such as call
centers and bars.
Mix and match the colors to create your unique design. Although they come primarily in squares, some manufacturers offer different shapes, such as triangles, hexagons, and even half-sizes. The design distinction is catching up to carpet, with technology adding even more colors and patterns.
Benefits of carpet tiles
- They are budget-friendly.
Because they are small and easy to lift, replace and install, you
only need to replace the damaged piece and not the entire floor. You
also don't need to invest in padding, as these pieces are thick.
Since it doesn't require as much cutting as wall-to-wall, there's
less waste.
- They are durable. Because
they come in various fibers, you can get the super-strength of nylon
or the stain resistance of polyester. Olefin is also ultra
stain-resistant and can be strong, while relative newcomer Triexta
is already known for superior strength and stain resistance that's
built into the fiber. Wool is often the natural fiber most often
chosen because of its resistance to crushing (flattened fibers).
Also, these pieces may be a better choice for some moisture-prone
areas, like basements, because they have a thickness that provides
better water resistance.
- They have easy installation.
Just peel and stick, but also note that since padding is not
required, the subfloor does need to be level.
