Carpet Tiles
Why Carpet Tiles
for Projects
We supply materials only for B2B customers (distributors, contractors, developers, architects, FM). Installation is by your appointed contractor/installer.
Carpet tiles deliver modular flexibility, fast replacement and strong acoustic performance, making them ideal for offices, education, hospitality back-of-house, libraries, coworking and conference spaces.
-
Tile-by-tile replacement: swap damaged tiles without full-area disruption, reducing downtime and OPEX.
-
Design freedom: zoning, wayfinding, checkerboards, plank patterns (25×100, 50×100), herringbone and borders.
-
Access floors friendly: easy lift-and-replace over raised floors and underfloor services.
-
Acoustic & comfort: option for cushion/HD backings that improve impact sound and footfall comfort.
-
Low emissions: low-VOC options; documentation available for submittals.
Technical & Compliance
Confirm exact values on the selected line’s datasheet/DoP/EPD. Samples available on request.
Typical Range / Note
-
Solution-dyed nylon (PA) is common; project-specific alternatives available
-
Bitumen, PVC-free, cushion/HD composite, recycled content options
-
Typically Cfl-s1 (verify DoP/test per SKU)
-
Anti-static options for office IT environments
-
Castor-chair suitable lines (verify EN/ISO test)
-
Low VOC; indoor air labels on request
-
Impact sound & absorption (dB/αw per datasheet); cushion backings elevate performance
Design & Layout Strategies
-
Plank patterns: 25×100 herringbone/ashlar for dynamic corridors; mix planks with 50×50 fields for zoning.
-
Directional vs non-directional: choose non-directional tiles to minimize waste and speed installation.
-
Colour blocking: use accent colours for wayfinding and meeting zones.
-
Edge transitions: coordinate with Stairs solution and thresholds to adjacent hard floors.
-
Rugs-on-tiles: define collaboration islands with different textures/piles without extra rugs.

Installation Notes
-
Subfloor prep: ensure flatness and moisture are within limits; prime as required.
-
Adhesives & tackifiers: use the recommended tackifier for lift-and-replace; observe open times and RH/temperature.
-
Seam & pattern alignment: plan arrow/dye-lot orientation; confirm batch control during install.
-
Castor areas: specify chair-rated tiles and backing systems; consider chair mats where appropriate.
Sector‑Specific Guidance
Offices & Corporate
- Use solution-dyed nylon for stain/UV performance; combine plank + square for subtle zoning.
- Add cushion backing in meeting rooms and focus areas for extra dB reduction.
Education & Libraries
- Prefer dense loop tiles with dark flecks to mask soiling; specify non-directional designs to reduce waste.
Hospitality & Event
- Tiles support rapid refresh between events; keep attic stock for quick spot swaps after heavy use.
Sustainability & Lifecycle
-
Recycled content backings available; enquire about take-back and recycling programs.
-
Low-VOC and EPD/LCA documentation supports green building submissions.
-
Lifecycle value: lower OPEX due to quick spot replacement and modular maintenance.

FAQ
Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions our customers ask when choosing flooring. This section is designed to help you make confident and informed decisions. If you don’t see the information you’re looking for, feel free to contact our support team — we’re always here to help.
Which backing should we choose—bitumen, PVC-free or cushion?
+
Cushion improves acoustics and comfort; PVC-free helps with emissions/circular goals; bitumen offers robust value.
Are carpet tiles suitable for castor-chair areas?
+
Yes—select castor-rated tiles/backings and follow the maintenance guide; chair mats can further reduce wear.
How do we handle stains?
+
Choose solution-dyed nylon piles and follow scheduled cleaning; keep attic stock for quick swaps of stained tiles.
Can we mix sizes and colours in one space?
+
Absolutely—combine 50×50 with 25×100 planks, alternate textures, and use accents for wayfinding.
Do you provide installation?
+
No—materials only. Installation by your appointed contractor.
