Carpet tiles make for an inexpensive and easily installed flooring option for any room in the house.

A Flooring for Every Space

If you are looking to update the flooring of your home, apartment, office or dorm room, carpet tiles are a great option to consider for pretty much all of these applications. They come in a surprising array of textures from shag to plus and burbur, and are available in endless colors and patterns. They work well in offices and other commercial spaces such as restaurants, and can be great in your home as well. One of the most obvious benefits of using carpet tile is your ability to switch them out if they become stained or damaged at very little cost. And as they are normally purchased in boxes, there are usually some left over that can be kept in storage for just this purpose. 

Carpet tiles come in a standard size, so they can be easily changed out to modify your design ideas. The same tiles shown in the checked pattern above can be easily rearranged into a solid color with a border of a different color or to stripes, all by just changing them around. They are great for making colorful patters, but can also be used in a single solid color to just look like traditional carpeting.

Keeping it Green

Concerned for the evironment? There are plenty of green carpet tile options made from recycled and sustainable sources.

These little flooring gems are not only versatile, but are a fantastic green option for the environmentally conscious. Many of the tiles available today are made from recycled and sustainable resources, and some of the companies will even take back old ones to be recycled yet again. And since you only have to replace one or two tiles if it becomes stained or damaged, you save resources and money in maintenance.

The tiles themselves are usually made from materials that can be washed in the sink, and they can be installed using non-toxic adhesives that stick to the floor below, or as interlocking tiles, so there’s no worry of hazardous materials. 

Cash In Your Pocket

The tiles are very versatile in that they can be used in rooms as wall-to-wall carpeting, area rugs or hallway runners. With endless textures and colors/designs available (even in faux marble!), the possibilities are endless in bringing your vision to life. They can be cut to size for odd-shaped spaces, and are easy enough to install yourself in a day. At only about $1-2 per square feet they are a great, affordable way to make a dramatic yet flexible change without breaking the bank.
