However, they are not usually recommended for laying over a floor with underfloor heating or a timber floor that has been treated with wood preservative

The expected lifespan of a carpet tile depends on how much use it will get. Cheap polypropylene tiles should last around five years in a domestic or light commercial environments. For heavy use, a great choice is a tile with a pile made from nylon. Most nylon tiles have a ten-year wear warranty; a heavier pile weight usually means a longer lifespan for the tile. Square carpet tiles (sometimes called carpet squares) should be laid on a flat, sound, level surface. There is no need for underlay but, if it is required, something fairly firm with very little give should be used, such as cork. If you are re-doing a room at home, the colour and the feel of the tile will both be important but the space is likely to be smaller than in most commercial settings.

But by being so durable, they often feel hard to the touch and have a short tufted pile. However, if the tiles are not on a firm base then the corners will pop up when pressure is applied to the middle and could cause a trip hazard and a very unsightly job. Firstly, many carpet tiles use a high proportion of recycled materials during their manufacture and secondly, they often generate less waste material when installing compared to the waste from wide-width sheet carpet. Once you discover there is such a product as carpet edge binding, it is easy to get hooked.

Making your own rugs is satisfying A soft underlay will allow the tile corners to pop up if you depress the centre of the carpet square, and should be avoided. For noise or heat loss issues, it is best to insulate the floor with insulation board first and lay your tiles directly on top.

It is best to first watch the video (see Video tab above) and then get started – the Easybind way.Carpet tiles are ideal for stairs and easier to fit than other floor coverings, but stair nosings must be used. These hold the upright tiles on the stair risers in position, so they cannot fall forwards and cause you to trip, and the nosings cloak the raw tile edges.
