Carpet mats and tiles are made of a number of different materials, from foam, nylon, polyester, and polypropylene to recycled plastic, rubber material, and more.

Depending on the type of carpet tiles, they may be made using many different materials. There are peel and stick tiles, for instance, with a glue adhesive backing. Others have a modular raised design that are made differently than interlocking, dry lay square tiles.

Greatmats offers a number of different carpet tiles, each of which are made with different materials and feature a different installation method and/or design. Of the many options from which to choose, the following 6 represent some of the most popular carpet tiles:

Interlocking Carpet Tiles

These products are used in many different types of settings and applications and are made using a variety of materials. They also deliver some great features and benefits.
Royal Interlocking Carpet Tile
Royal Interlocking Carpet Tile is one of the most versatile and popular products at Greatmats and can be used for indoor or some outdoor applications.

The tops of these tiles are layered with a durable plush carpeting that is bonded to a soft closed cell foam base, which results in a robust product that will stand up to foot traffic, furniture, and years of heavy use. They can be placed on a clean, smooth surface, and they are waterproof and stain resistant. They are also odor proof, easy to clean, and provide a comfortable anti-fatigue and insulation value similar to traditional plush carpet rolls.



Carpet Tiles Modular SquaresCarpet Tiles Modular Squares are made of recycled materials with a berber like carpet top and polypropylene plastic base.

This product is designed to handle high roll loads with its quality construction and is great for cold basement floors as they limit transmission of cold from the subfloor through the carpet by way of the layer of air in between. The tiles are easy to snap together without padding or adhesive. Because the floor is raised, if the subfloor gets wet, the tiles will allow for airflow beneath and can be disassembled and re-installed as needed.
