Floating Carpet Squares Q&A

What are the best reasons to use raised carpet tiles for a basement floor?

Using raised carpet tiles on a basement floor is a smart idea for multiple reasons. Air flowing underneath the tiles prevents the formation of mildew. They are cost effective and durable. They’re also easy to install with the interlocking edges.

How do you install carpet tiles on concrete?

To install interlocking carpet tile flooring on concrete, start at one corner of the room. Connect the tiles in vertical and horizontal rows across the rest of the room. When you reach a wall, you’ll have to cut the tiles to fit the space available. You do not have to glue these tiles on the edges or to the concrete.

Do I need padding for carpet tiles?

No, padding is not needed for most carpet tile products. Some tiles ship with padding attached to the back already, while others have a raised plastic base layer that lifts it away from the floor, allowing any moisture to evaporate.

How do you install carpet tiles without glue?

To install carpet tiles without glue, select the design of the tile carefully. Floating carpet tiles for a basement or those that have a puzzle style edge do not need glue because the edges interlock tightly. Rely on Greatmats’ customer service for help with how and where to buy these tiles for residential or commercial locations.

What are modular carpet tiles?

Modular carpet tiles are easy to install, clean, maintain, and individually replace if damage occurs. They may have a high-end plush design for a home or a low-pile design for an office or commercial location, but they’re always easy to install. They’re far easier to use than rolls of carpeting.
