Get creative with functional carpet tiles
Carpet tiles can replace wall-to-wall carpeting or area rugs. These tiles are practical, functional, and attractive. You can find the perfect brand to complement your decorating style at Mike Nakhel Flooring in Jacksonville, Florida. We carry a large selection of high-quality carpet tiles from companies like Aladdin and Mohawk. If you're the creative type, choose more than one brand so you can combine colors and patterns to create an eye-catching floor that is unique to your home. Design options are endless.
Commercial carpet
Carpet tiles, also called carpet squares, have been a staple in the commercial carpet market for decades. While many brands are still best suited for a business environment, others are aesthetically pleasing and appropriate for residential applications. A typical carpet tile ranges in size from 12-inch x 12-inch to 39-inch x 39-inch. Carpet planks are also available, and you can find tiles in unique shapes too. Multi-colored carpeting with flecks, which hides dirt well, is an excellent alternative to pattern or solid color carpet.

Backing materials
Carpet tiles, like wall-to-wall carpeting, are available in diverse styles and fibers. When comparing samples, it's a good idea to consider what is on the back of a carpet tile and its surface. Tile backing is made of several different materials. Foam-backed tiles are ideal for a child's play space, while a polyurethane cushion makes the carpet more comfortable to walk on in any room. Rubber backing works well in a high-traffic area. PVC-free plastic is eco-friendly since it is recyclable.
Carpet tile installation
A choice of five installation methods adds to the allure of carpet tiles. Loose lay tiles butt together to create a semi-permanent floor covering. In contrast, tiles are tightly bonded to the subfloor when carpet adhesive is used. Homeowners tend to prefer one of the installation methods that fall between these two extremes. Interlocking tile brands fit together like a puzzle and need no attachment to the subfloor. Like peel and stick and adhesive tab brands, they are easy to install.
