When you’re thinking about carpeting for your home, you probably are picturing broadloom carpet, which is the standard carpet rolls used within a home.
When you step into an office building, hotel, or even a school, you probably walked your way over some carpet tiles. These are basically small carpet sections that come together like a puzzle with different designs and shapes.
For the longest time, carpet tiles were mostly used for commercial use. However, we are starting to see a desire for carpet tile within residential homes in the last few years. So what’s making carpet tiles popular in homes? Let’s take a look!
Lots of Variety
Carpet tiles come in a variety of patterns, sizes, colors and textures. Maybe you’ve got a kids play room that you want to liven up a bit, or you want to create a lounge atmosphere within your bar area. This can all be done with the use of carpet tiles. There really is no limit to what you can create thanks to the many varieties that comes with carpet tiles.
Easy Replacement
Unlike broadloom carpet, carpet tiles are just as they sound. They come in tiles, or sections. This is why they are so popular in commercial areas because instead of having to replace the entire carpet, they can simply replace the tile that is damaged. They are typically used in high traffic areas.
Versatility
If you’ve got a room with a complex floor design, carpet tile is a great option. The smaller tile sizes allow you fit into tight spaces and make adjustments as needed. The versatility of carpet tile is a plus.
