Everything you need to know about finding a carpet tile supplier

Carpet tiles come in a range of materials, colours and styles, and are best viewed at a tile supplier’s warehouse or showroom. Here factors such as texture, design and the feel of each tile underfoot can be fully assessed. The most common fibres used in the manufacture of carpet tiles are wool and nylon, and will consequently vary substantially in terms of price. Carpet tiles are typically applied to a clean floor substrate using a peel-off adhesive or each tile will have rubber feet that require no adhesive.

Here are some basic steps for laying carpet tiles:

• determine the surface area of your floor and purchase tiles based on this figure
• clean the surface thoroughly prior to laying carpet tiles
• lay tiles from the centre of the room working outward
• trim tiles at the outer edges as necessary

If you are on a budget and would like to save even more money by laying the tiles yourself, carpet tiles may the flooring choice for you:

• Cost - carpet tiles typically will be considerably more cost effective than traditional carpeting
• Convenience - one can readily replace an individual tile, or number of tiles, if they are damaged – rather than the whole carpet
• Versatility - a variety of designs and styles can be specified from patchwork to alternating
