A major decision that takes up a lot of your physical and mental energy in the redesigning of your homes would be that of flooring. The most significant decision is which flooring you should choose. The first visual of any home when you enter is that of the floor, so it has to be the best. Also it takes up a large part of your budget, so it should be taken seriously after all.<\/p>\n
Amongst the many flooring options that we have to choose from, one such option is that of Carpet tiles.<\/p>\n
Carpet tiles are soft tiles made of bound carpet or stapled fibres that are used for flooring as an additional layer on the subfloor. Usually carpeting in flooring is done as a wall to wall coverage to make it look like a unanimous flooring construction. They give a warm, comfortable aesthetic to homes.<\/p>\n
Carpet tiles have many variants that are made of different materials and fibres. Some of the most widely used materials are as follows:<\/p>\n
For those of you who may not know, tufted carpet tiles are those where cut or looped carpet fibres poke through the carpet backing. 95% of all commercial carpet tiles are tufted. The reason is that tufted tiles have a fast production time, which makes their prices lower and their designs plenty. If quality is your priority, then tufted tiles may not be the ideal choice for you.<\/li>\n
Woven carpets are produced on a loom . This is what makes their quality superior and durable, which is why woven carpets are widely used and in demand even today. This is a great choice for projects that are high end.<\/li>\n
Needle punched carpets are colourfast, they dry out quickly and are resistant to fade in sunlight. They are super practical to use, but they lack versatility in terms of look and feel. They work well if they are used as entry or door mats, but other than that, they are not recommended for general use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Following are the advantages of using carpet tiles for your homes:<\/p>\n
Apart from giving a warm, acoustic kind of vibe in your homes, carpet tiles also come with safety benefits for the inhabitants. They help in making rooms soundproof. They also give a soft footing for those walking on them. So if you have a home that inhabits kids or elderly, carpet tiles are a blessing in disguise for their safety and well being.<\/p>\n
Selecting carpet tiles entirely depends upon what space you are getting them for. Here’s how you can pick the carpet tiles based on the space.<\/p>\n
In order to install carpet tiles, the first rule is to build a solid subflooring system. By doing so you are laying a strong foundation for your carpet tiles to sit well.<\/p>\n
Understand the spatial requirements first before going all out. Determining this will answer a lot of your questions. Based on this understanding, you will be able to determine the kind of carpet tiles, the quantity and the time and money that you will need to install them.<\/p>\n
The installation process involves the following steps. Install the carpet tiles in a systematic manner, by starting with the centre. Move towards the corners slowly and trim the tiles as per the requirement. Once the installation is complete, roll the tiles to ensure that no air pockets are left between two tiles. This also helps in firming up the tiles.<\/p>\n
If we are to compare the difference between Carpet tiles and tiles, there are plenty of differences. Tile is actually more cost effective than carpet tiles as it does not degrade over a period of time. Unlike carpet tiles that call for replacement once in every few years, tiles have no such requirement unless they have been broken. This is what makes them cost effective.<\/p>\n
Tiles have a long life which makes them more durable than carpet tiles. Tiles are easier to clean. Any spillage can be easily taken care of by simply wiping them off. Carpet tiles will absorb the spillage, making them lose their quality over a period of time. Not to mention the stains it leaves on them. Carpets are known to cause allergies to the inhabitants as they catch a lot of dust. This is not the case with tiles. Tiles are water resistant, which carpet tiles are not. Tiles are super versatile. They can be used everywhere, including the kitchens and bathrooms, whereas carpets are mostly used only in the living room and the bedroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
