However, because carpet tiles are so hardwearing, they are now often the first choice for schools, offices, churches and shops. There is a lot of choice in flooring, ranging from fitted carpets and laminate floors, to linoleum and tiles. Fitted carpets are often chosen for their visual appeal and warmth. A fitted carpet can be chosen in a neutral colour such as cream, or in a brighter colour, whichever is preferred. Laminate flooring or tiles are a popular choice as they are easy to clean and again, visually pleasing.
Carpet tiles offer the advantages of a fitted carpet and a tiled or laminated floor combined. As well as being insulating, and easy to clean, they are durable, cheap and very easily installed. You can also design the layout of your carpet tiles in any design you choose such as a checkerboard pattern. The tiles are packaged for convenience, allowing you to transport them without the hassle and expense of hiring a van.
The actual price of carpet tiling is relatively low and also very economic because carpet tiles are so hardwearing and last a lot longer than many other types of flooring. If a tile is damaged the individual tile can be replaced which saves having to pay for replacement of the whole flooring. Laying the tiles yourself also saves money.
Cleaning your carpet tiles is a simple matter of sponging the dirty area. If the dirt is more stubborn, you can lift the tile and scrub it with a mild detergent. The tile must be completely dry before you replace it.
