Carpet Tiles have been around for over 50 years and were originally developed for homes as a hardwearing alternative to traditional broadloom carpet. Carpet tiles offer many advantages over traditional carpet and make designing your own floor scheme easy. Recently there has been an increase in new designs aimed at the modern interior space. Interior designers, makeover programs and interior magazines are increasingly presenting carpet tiles as a new design trend.

Carpet tiles can prove a cost effective alternative to traditional carpet as they include a strong backing so require no underlay or adhesives and produce less waste than other flooring types. This saves time and money and because carpet tiles are easy to install, you can lay them yourself and save the cost of professional fitting. Any damage or spills can be resolved by replacing one tile rather than the entire floor.
