For years, carpet has been the standard floor covering. Since they come in very bulky, it is not an easy do-it-yourself project. Most of the time, this job is left with the professionals. Carpet tiles, however, are easier to install than the regular bulky roll of carpets. If you have installed ceramic or vinyl tiles, you can easily install carpet tiles. It is even easier than installing regular floor tiles for they do not need glue and grout. Carpet tiles also solve the issue of maintaining your floor. With traditional carpet flooring, if you were to spill wine and it stained, at times you would have to replace the entire floor. With carpet tile, you simply replace the stained tile. In the place where I work, they used carpet tiles; they are really good in high traffic areas. I have seen some carpet tiles used in kitchens (these are the non-fuzzy types of course). Use it in your home office or workout areas in your basement or garage.
Here are steps on how to install carpet tiles:
1) Measure: Determine the number of tiles that you will need by measuring the length (L) and width (W) of the room to be carpeted. Multiply the width times the length to get the square footage of the room.
For rooms that are not rectangular, break the room up into smaller rectangles. Multiply the widths times the height for each of the smaller rectangles separately then add them up to get the total square footage of the room.
There are different tile sizes per box that you can choose from. Below are some samples:
