Most people consider carpet tiles as a boring floor material. However, carpet tiles are a versatile and cost-effective option for flooring that provide installation and design benefits over conventional rolled carpeting. Carpet tiles are suitable for any commercial or domestic flooring and also provide a softer surface than traditional stone or ceramic tile but offer more design versatility than traditional carpeting.

One eco friendly innovations in decor is carpet tiles. Tiles come in a variety of materials, colours and patterns, many of which are sold in combined units to make colour coordination easy. Decorators planning the flooring for their commercial projects normally use carpet tile in place of ceramic, stone or exposed wood floors. There are several reasons for using carpet tile, ranging from space issues to safety, convenience for colour and they are easily recycled. Carpet tile manufacturers are now making tiles with recyclable backing.

Carpet tiles are versatile, affordable and easily adaptable to oddly-shaped spaces. They are easy to maintain, because you can remove a single carpet tile to replace it. Most carpet tiles can be washed in the sink when they get dirty. Some companies recycle carpet tiles. Many carpet tiles feature recycled or renewable materials. The nature of carpet tiles allows for variations on colour, theme, texture, size and pattern.

Carpet tile is not just a bland substitute for designer flooring. In fact, carpet tiles come in hip colours and designs. Try carpet tiles in a faux stone finish for a rustic look or animal patterns for a taste of the wild. Stripes, paisleys, geometric prints, abstract patterns, floral patterns, modern design and an array of solid colours allow mixing and matching.

Carpet tile in a long hallway or forgotten corner can add visual impact to a room or space. It comes in different grades to allow for light to heavy foot traffic. Eye-catching prints can be the focal point of the room while more subtle patterns and textures form a pleasing backdrop.

Carpet tiles are probably the most versatile flooring for design, it add a modern update to a room by creating a border of alternating colours. Borders are also well-suited for using carpet tiles with busy patterns; bold stripes and circles introduce visual interest without overwhelming the space through a whole-floor pattern.

The cost effectiveness and easy installation of carpet tiles makes them ideal for treating an entire floor. When you're covering an entire floor in carpet tile, experiment with tiles of various colours or patterns to create a truly unique space. Using different coloured tiles designates distinct areas in a space. In office spaces, select a solid colour tile and an accent tile with a pattern that incorporates the solid colour as well as an accent colour such as yellow, green or blue. Intersperse the accent tiles among the solid tiles to add colour and movement within the carpet.

Carpet tiles are the ideal choice for basement areas.

They can be loose laid over existing floor covering if it is smooth, eliminating the need for expensive uplift and added insulation.

Saving of up to 40% of material can be achieved in a space over conventional sheet carpet.
