Interlocking Carpet Tiles - Residential & Commercial

Options for Interlocking Carpet Tiles

Interlocking carpet tiles are a highly popular selection among our customers at Greatmats. Rather than wrestling with a roll of carpet or hiring a professional installer, our interlocking indoor and outdoor carpet tiles give you a simple DIY installation option that looks great. Unlike rolls of carpet, many of our products are made for use in wet areas like a basement. Rethink how and where you can use carpeting – and open up many new possibilities – when you rely on Greatmats carpet tiles!

Types of Carpet Tiles Interlocking Products

You can select among three primary designs of interlocking carpet tiles.

Raised Plastic Base

Our raised plastic base carpet tiles interlock using tabs and slots on the underside of the plastic bottom layer. The top layer consists of durable carpeting. Once you connect the tiles, you can’t see the plastic, creating a final layout that only looks like carpeting.

The plastic base sits on tiny pegs that raise the bottom of the tile a fraction of an inch over the subfloor, allowing air to flow underneath and encouraging evaporation of any moisture.

Foam Base

Interlocking carpet tiles for a bedroom can benefit from a foam base that delivers comfort and cushioning. The foam is connected to the back of the carpet, creating a single piece. This design makes foam-backed tiles a far simpler installation than a carpet roll with a separate roll of foam.

Fully Waterproof

When you want to install carpet tiles at the entrance of the building where they’ll have exposure to tracked-in rain and snow, you need fully waterproof materials.

Our Entrance Linear Tiles use PVC plastic and carpet together to make it easy to scrape shoes. All materials in these Made in the USA tiles are 100% recycled. The design provides traction and has drainage holes to allow moisture to fall through to the subfloor.

Features and Benefits of Interlocking Foam Carpet Tiles and Other Base Materials

Some of the benefits you receive from our interlocking foam carpet tiles and plastic base tiles include:

• Lightweight for an easy installation
  
• Extremely durable
  
• Permanent or semi-permanent installation
  
• Dampens noise
  
• Waterproof or water resistant

We even have some washable interlocking carpet tiles for areas where kids will be playing and – inevitably – spilling things or where pets will be tracking in mud.

Interlocking Carpet Tiles Q&A

How do you install interlocking carpet tiles on concrete?

To install interlocking carpet tiles on concrete, clean the concrete to remove dust and debris. Fix any holes or significant cracks. You can then lay the interlocking carpet tiles for home directly over the concrete. Start in one corner and work outward. You might need to cut the interlocking edge off the tile to fit against the wall.

Can you put interlocking carpet tiles with padding in a basement?

Yes, installing interlocking carpet tiles with padding in a basement is a common use case for our products. We offer some models of waterproof interlocking carpet tiles that won’t soak up moisture. They’re also easy to disassemble and pick up if you want to allow the concrete underneath to dry in the open air.

What are the best basement DIY carpet tiles?

The best basement carpet for a DIY installation is tiles with interlocking edges that don’t require glue to hold them in place. Both hidden interlocking edges and puzzle-style edges are available with interlocking carpet tiles for a basement. Should the basement suffer a flood, you can disassemble the tiles and put fans in the basement to dry the concrete before reassembling the tiles.

Are interlocking carpet tiles waterproof?

Yes, some interlocking carpet tiles are waterproof. This is important for a basement, laundry room, or garage where moisture is frequently present. These waterproof carpet tiles consist of materials that do not absorb moisture, making them safe to use in areas with dampness.
