Carpet tiles are becoming the standard choice in both commercial and residential flooring due to their wide variety of applications in any given setting. If you want to redecorate your living space or bring a new splash of colour to your room, DIY carpet tile installation might be the answer for you.

DIY installation of carpet tiles is a quick and easy day project. It can even be done in one afternoon depending on your flooring size. You can purchase pressure sensitive carpet glue in varying amounts to secure your tiles to a flat surface.

Installing carpet tiles as a DIY project is a cheaper option. This can save you on labour, delivery and carpet cushion costs that do build up over time. Maintenance is also cheaper as you won’t need carpet experts to clean them. If you need to clean a stained area, simply take out the few carpet tiles that have been affected and wash them in the sink.

Replacing any damaged carpet tile is also cost-effective in the long run as you will only need to replace a tile one at a time. If your tile is well worn, simply switching the worn tile with an unworn tile in farther corner of the room will significantly increase your flooring’s service life.

Whether carpet squares are installed at a high-traffic office or university, or simply in a freshly renovated room, the range of options allow all floor decorators to choose carpet squares tailored to their own needs. Carpet tiles are now manufactured to provide other great benefits, such as heavy-duty durability, sound absorption, and even sustainability.
