ABOUT CARPET TILES

Carpet tiles are panels of carpet (normally between 400mm and 800mm square) on a firm backing, which can be laid as tiles. They may be plain, to produce the effect of a normal fitted carpet, or may be laid in geometric patterns for decorative effect.

The two main advantages of loose-laid carpet tiles over conventional fitted carpet are that they can easily be lifted for access to under-floor services, and that they can me moved around to equalise wear. Their disadvantage is that they may become dislodged resulting in an unsightly look and tripping risks.

LEADING UK CARPET TILE SUPPLIERS

The Carpet Tile Company supplies a wide range of cut pile and loop pile carpet tiles. For example their Axent carpet tiles use an 80% wool, 20% nylon axminster construction. They are available in a choice of pile weights (1150 to 1350 gms per square metre) and tile sizes (440 x 440mm or 880 x 880mm). Their Axis carpet tiles are made from 100% Honeywell Anso Performa nylon. Axis carpet tiles have been designed to replicate the look and feel of an 80/20 wool/nylon carpet. The nylon fibre is spun into a fine carpet yarn and is then hank dyed - both methods that are usually associated with the traditional semi-worsted process. The result is a very hardwearing surface which resembles a traditional finish. The textured twist pile surface acts to conceal joints.
