Remodeling a room with carpet tile can be a great option over having a traditional carpet installed. Carpet tiles flooring can be installed just about any room in the home and are very durable and are great for high traffic areas. They have been around for about 50 years mostly used in commercial applications but now come in a host of colors and patterns to please the homeowner. They are also affordable and can cost up to 50 percent less than having traditional carpet installation. Industrial carpet tiles resist mold and mildew which make them a great choice for basement floors. Installing the carpet in small sections makes it much easier for the DIY person. Heavy lifting of a full size carpet and rental or purchase of speciality tools is not necessary when installing a floor with carpet tile. Carpet tile can be laid right over any existing hard surface floor such as laminate or even concrete. They have their own carpet padding built right in so there is no need for a underlay to be installed.
Another cool option is having the choice to be creative without spending any extra money. You don’t have to purchase all the same colors and patterns for your project. You can make any pattern you wish such as a checkerboard or maybe a room boarder without spending extra money or having to increase installation time. With the huge selection of vibrant colors and patterns this is a great option for kids room and game rooms.
Maintenance wise they are basically the same as traditional carpet, vacuum regularly and clean periodically with good carpet cleaning products. Pay attention to directions on the carpet tile you choose for product specific instructions. A badly stained carpet tile can be removed and replaced which is a option that is not easily achieved with a typical carpet.
