Enjoy Warmth and Comfort Underfoot Without The Worry Of Accidents Permanently Staining Your Floor
Carpet tiles provide modular flooring for environments needing flexible design and installation. Imagine creating various patterns framed by a border with ease. Functionality, Color, and durability are the highlights of carpet tiles.
Carpet tiles consist normally of bonded carpet with their main advantage being that you can replace a damaged or worn area without having to replace the whole carpet. Tiles from underneath furniture, for example, can be swapped with those in high-traffic area to even out wear. They also allow easy access to under-floor wiring or plumbing
Carpet tiles are available in varying thicknesses and patterns, as well as hundreds of different colors.
Carpet tiles can be purchased either dry-backed or self-sticking. The dry-backed version needs a special adhesive or, for less permanent jobs, double-faced tape. These can go over almost any surface, as long as it is clean and dry. However, it is not highly recommended for use in below-ground areas, such as a basement, because it could mildew.
Carpet tiles offer a carpet surface that features the benefits of a tile application.

Features and Advantages
Ease of replacement - As mentioned above, one of the greatest advantages of carpet tiles is their ease of replacement. This is the one distinct advantage over traditional broadloom in that they can be installed and removed individually. Damaged or soiled carpet tiles may be easily removed by simply replacing the affected carpet tile with a fresh one.
Save Costly Replacements - The ability of replacing just the damaged tiles makes it much cheaper than replacing the whole carpet. You only need to replace the affected tiles instead of replacing the entire room of carpet. Also, your carpet tiles may be individually removed for spot cleaning when smaller accidents do occur. If a carpet tile gets worn, soiled or permanently damaged, just replace or swap it with one from a less visible area (if a tile is scoured during a desk move, for example, just replace it with a new one. Also, by rotating carpet tiles out of heavy traffic areas they can be put back to work instead of in a landfill). It's really the best of both worlds.
Greater Design Flexibility - The possibilities are endless. Use your imagination to create your own unique designs. Choose from the latest designer created patterns and colors available in the many carpet tile suppliers. They are easy to cut so they fit any odd shaped room. Enjoy a custom-look with carpet tile patterns without the custom price. By incorporating a contrasting color as a border or employing angled tile patterns, achieve a designer look for less! Carpet tiles allow you to put forth the type of appearance you require.
Do It Yourself - The installation is a breeze. No special tools required. A chalk line, straight edge, utility knife, and some glue or double-sided carpet tape (if you don't want sticky glue on a hardwood floor beneath the carpet, for example) is all that's required for a professional looking job. Carpet tile turns the messy, awkward job of carpet installation into a quick and easy one.
Easy to Maintain - Maintenance is Simple, Quick, and Easy. Vacuum regularly, blot spots and spills as quickly as possible, then flush with cool water. It's that Easy. For small spills no special cleaning or chemical treatments are required.
Soft, Warm & Quiet - Soft to the touch, warmer and more energy efficient than hard surface floors. Carpet tiles naturally absorb and dampen noises.
Lower Life Cycle Costs - Vinyl backed carpet tile products last longer than any other carpet product. Receive optimal performance from carpet tiles supported with vinyl backing.
Unlimited Under floor Access - Access under floor power, data and telephone wiring without cutting or patching carpet. No need for a costly carpet replacement crew.
Minimize Disruption During Installation - Save office downtime during installation or repairs. Renovation of occupied space can be reduced by approximately 50%. There is no need for system disruption, furniture re-arranging or office re-wiring.
Easier Handling of Carpet - With greater mobility and efficiency, carpet tile is simply more convenient to handle than 12-foot rolls. Enjoy the benefits when climbing stairs and turning corners. The pile is not as dense as that in rolled carpet, but it can serve well in both high and low traffic areas.
Improved Acoustics/Energy Conservation - Enjoy better sound absorption and insulation with vinyl backed tiles compared to traditional carpet backings.
Lower Replacement Costs - Save on your next installation because carpet tile removal requires less labor than traditional carpet removal.
Movable Floor System - Benefit from the mobility of carpet tile if your business relocates. Take your investment with you!
