Types of Padded Carpet Tiles

When you want carpet squares with padding attached, you can select a few different formats to match your specific need for the residential or commercial space.

• Padded foam base: A popular carpet tile with padding we provide is a design that has a foam base secured to the back of the carpet. These tiles often use an interlocking design to go directly over hard floors for a bedroom or basement.
  
• Plush pile with thick backing: When you want excellent comfort both in the carpet layer and in the base layer, consider our plush carpet tiles with padding.
  
• Low pile with thick backing: Some customers prefer a low pile height in commercial carpet tiles with padding, which simplifies cleaning them and using them in areas with significant foot traffic.
  
• Peel and stick: For ease of installation, a self-stick carpet with a pad is the way to go. The adhesive doesn’t affect the performance of the padded layer.

Benefits of Carpet Tiles With Padding

Installing carpet tiles with padding attached offers multiple benefits, including the following.

• Carpet tiles are easy to install, clean, and maintain.
  
• The carpet layer is highly durable, while the padding layer provides comfort.
  
• They provide a stylish look similar to a roll of carpet.
  
• Most padded carpet tiles have a large size, making it easier to complete a big installation in a short amount of time.
  
• Greatmats offers kits with pre-sized tiles to cover a particular space, such as 10 by 10 feet.
  
• Some of our padded carpet tile products consist of recycled materials.
  
• Multiple color options are available, including products with more than one shade of color.
  
• Multiple pile heights are available to fit the desired use case.
  
• Carpet tiles with varying thicknesses in the padding layer are available for extra comfort.

Padded Carpet Tile Installation Options

If you plan to do a DIY installation, our carpet tiles with padding are a perfect selection. You can choose from a few different installation options with these tiles.

• Interlocking with no adhesive: If you choose an interlocking tile, you don’t have to apply adhesive to the interlocking edges or the backs of the tiles (although you can). By not using adhesive, you can disassemble the tiles and return to the subfloor at any time.
  
• Friction pads: You can use friction pads over the subfloor and then add the carpet tiles over the top of the friction pads to keep the installation from shifting around.
  
• Peel and stick: With peel-and-stick carpet tiles with padding, the back of the carpet tile with padding has a layer of adhesive pre-applied, which significantly simplifies the installation process.
  
• Adhesive for some permanent installations: For those who want to make the carpeting tile installation permanent, you can apply a separate layer of adhesive to the flooring or the back of the tiles. Many customers prefer a semi-permanent installation with one of the other installation options, though.

Carpet Tiles With Padding Q&A

What are the best padded carpet tiles?

The best padded carpet tiles will depend on the use case you have in mind. You may want extremely thick padding in a tile that goes over the top of concrete. For use at a trade show, you may want a pre-sized kit that contains enough tiles to cover a specific space. You may want a plush pile in a bedroom or media room where people will be sitting on the floor.

Do I need padding for carpet tiles?

You rarely need padding for carpet tiles. Many carpet tiles we offer at Greatmats have at least some padding attached to the base layer. Just connect the carpet tiles and go over the top of any type of firm flooring without the hassle of trying to secure a roll of padding.

What are the thickest carpet tiles at Greatmats?

The thickest carpet tiles at Greatmats include the 1-inch LCT Plush Luxury Carpet Tiles, which have a thick pile for comfort along with a slight cushioned jute fiber backing layer on the bottom. We also offer the In a Snap Peel and Stick Carpet Tiles, which have a 1/2-inch pile height and a 1/4-inch padded foam layer.

What are the features of Royal Interlocking Carpet Tiles?

The key features of Royal Interlocking Carpet Tiles include a 1/2-inch thick foam base layer that delivers maximum comfort. Because of the tight fit of the interlocking edges, installers do not need to use adhesive on the connecting edges or the back. This is a high-quality carpet tile that yields excellent durability and value.

What’s the difference between foam-backed carpet tiles and snap-together carpet squares?

The primary difference between foam-backed carpet tiles and snap-together carpet squares is the format used for the interlock. Snap-together tiles use a polypropylene firm plastic base for the connection, while foam-backed carpet tiles use a puzzle-style interlocking edge. Foam-based carpet tiles tend to be larger, covering 4 square feet or more per tile, while snap-together tiles tend to cover 1 square foot each.
