Carpet tiles, also known as modular carpets or square carpets, are squares cut from wall to wall rolls that can be fitted together to make up a carpet. Carpet tiles are generally available in the following sizes: 48×48, 50×50, 60×60 and 96×96 cm.

Some carpet tile providers also offer other shapes and sizes like hexagons and triangles with which the installation, however, does increase in complexity and cost. Carpet tiles are justly popular as a flooring option for commercial environments, such as bars and restaurants, and other relatively uncomplicated projects.

Carpet tiles can be used as an alternative to wall to wall carpet in almost any situation not requiring unique customization and offer easy installation and maintenance, longevity and the same qualities as wall to wall for creating a healthy, comfortable indoor environment. Here are four important factors to keep in mind when considering carpet tiles for your next project.
