Carpet Tiles
CARPET TILES: AN OPTIMAL SOLUTION FOR PROFESSIONALS
Carpet is a much-loved flooring material due to its ease of installation, design and pleasant effect. It can be delivered in different ways: as tiles or in rolls to be cut by the metre.
Carpet tiles on the floor are favoured by professionals thanks to their numerous advantages: what are they and which product to choose?
What are the advantages of opting for carpet tiles for your flooring?
The introduction of carpet in the form of tiles was initially aimed at facilitating swift installation by professionals. Carpet tiles, favoured by public institutions, boast exceptional durability against heavy foot traffic, prolonged longevity, swift installation, and ergonomic comfort. They enhance not only office and commercial spaces but also exhibitions, fairs and stands.
At the same time, the ease of installation of carpet tiles on the floor has also won over homeowners. Several administrations have opted for carpet tiles for their flooring, drawn to their swift installation process and aesthetic appeal.
Carpet tiles offer the added benefit of easy repositioning or replacement in the event of damage to a tile. You can also create unique geometric patterns by playing with the colours of the tiles, allowing for customisation of one's interior or workspace. Very economical, carpet tiles maintain their high level of resistance and are suitable for all spaces.
A closer look at the technical characteristics of carpet tiles
When packaged as tiles for floor installation, carpet boasts a remarkably high density of fabric fibres in its weave. This characteristic of carpet tiles ensures that dust and particles do not become embedded in the fibres, making it easy to vacuum and maintain cleanliness.
There are three types of carpet tile, depending on the presentation of the fabric or wool fibres. Each type is equally easy to install, and tiles are generally available in 50 x 50 cm sizes. Therefore, we differentiate:
- Self-supporting carpet tiles, which do not require the use of an adhesive. The weight of the tile is evenly distributed, giving it optimum stability. The tiles are placed side by side to provide support. This is particularly useful for protecting sports flooring in gymnasiums. The tiles prevent the floor from being punctured and protect it over time. Removable, self-supporting carpet tiles can be installed quickly, saving time.
- Protective tiles for sports floors are quick to install and prevent damage to sports floors, which are generally quite expensive.
- Acoustic carpet tiles. Laid on the floor, these tiles come with a felt underlay and can be utilised to construct a soundproof floor covering. This makes it an ideal solution for high-traffic areas or multi-storey offices. Private individuals use it for bedrooms and professionals for music studios, for example. This is a self-cushioning type of carpet, offering optimum comfort.
