CARPET TILES SHOW THEIR TRUE COLOURS
Carpet tiles are making a comeback
They’ve actually been around for ages but in recent times, carpet tiles have undergone a transformation in terms of design, style and manufacture, making them a first choice for flooring in many stylish homes. In fact, many homeowners, renovators and decorators are choosing carpet tiles over traditional carpets because of all the benefits they bring to a home or office.
Wouldn’t you like a floor covering that’s:
· Easy to install
· Simple to clean
· Can be replaced in small quantities
· Stylish but hardwearing and tough
· Practical and popular
· Value for money and cost-effective
Consumers no longer see carpet tiles as merely cheap carpets and the poor cousins of floor coverings – and this is due to the modern design, better quality materials and improved manufacturing technology. Historically, carpet tiles were really perceived as being cheap and nasty – best suited for really downmarket offices where heavy foot traffic and cost were the only considerations. Today, carpet tiles are right up there in looks and style but are still a very practical and affordable option.
Their versatility is a key differentiating factor. Because they’re modular in design, people can create endless combinations with colours and with patterns – creating insets, borders, demarcated areas etc. Whether creating a traditional elegant look or a zany, modern effect, the sky’s the limit – or is it the floor?. The tiles can also be used to delineate different spaces within larger areas, in line with the contemporary trend of open-plan living.
Wastage is also kept to a minimum. With broadloom carpet installation, up to 10% of the carpet is wasted whilst with carpet tiles, this is limited to only around 4%. Carpet tiles are also really effective in tricky spaces, unusual shapes, angular rooms, curved walls etc as they eliminate the need for huge amounts of cutouts.
The issue of cleaning is also a big plus in their favour. They can be lifted, cleaned and replaced if possible, or simply replaced if they’re permanently stained or damaged.
Other good points are durability and longevity. They’re particularly effective in high traffic areas, but are also soft underfoot. Other plusses are that they absorb noise, provide a layer of insulation and provide a non-slip surface which minimizes the possibility of falls and accidents.
Another big bonus is ease of installation. It’s jigsaw building 101 – and they don’t need to be fitted by professionals!. No underlay is required as carpet tiles can be put directly onto any hard surface, including concrete, vinyl or laminate. Carpet tiles also come in easily transportable quantities or boxes (unlike heavy rolls of unwieldy carpet) making it easy for anyone to buy, transport and install them. And because they are laid in stages, there’s no need to clear the area of furniture – rather just lift and place the furniture on areas once they’ve been completed.
Carpet tiles are a clear winner when it comes to floor coverings, Perth carpets supplier, Integrity Carpets say, but there are also other options such as traditional carpets, vinyl flooring, rubber flooring, rubber tiles, studded rubber tiles and needlepunch carpet which can be used in commercial and domestic applications. Their view is that anyone looking to install a new floor covering – whether domestic or commercial – should discuss their needs and budgets with a reputable supplier before making a commitment to ensure that all any queries or questions are covered fully (like their floor !).
