Comparing Commercial Carpet Squares and Traditional Rolled Carpets

Commercial carpet squares, as the name suggests, are quite simply
carpet modules cut into squares that are designed to be manageable
while still allowing for creativity. Home depots sell them, but they
can also be directly purchased from carpet manufacturers. It is
advisable to buy carpet tiles in bulk when ordering to get the best
overall price.Comparison of Installation and Available OptionsCarpet
tiles are sold in a variety of designs, and are thus versatile options
for home decorators whose focus is more on variety and artistry.
Traditional rolled carpets, in contrast, usually use a single design
for the entire room, which limits their options.Tiles are much easier
to install than standard rolled carpets. Commercial carpet tiles are
sold in various sizes that can be manipulated or trimmed according to
the needs of a room and the decorator's taste, whereas rolled carpets
require finicky fitting and the unrolling of the bulky whole. With
adhesives like tapes or glues, tiles can easily be attached to the
floor or wall. Also, some commercial carpet squares come with grippers
which fasten to the sub flooring. Fasteners may be used, depending on
the type, to be doubly sure the tiles are not easy to displace.One
large advantage that square tiles have over rolled carpets is that the
former do not require expert guidance for installation. As a result, a
homeowner can select personal designs and avoid the costly measure of
using a professional home decorator. Within one afternoon, especially
if helpers can be found, carpet tiles can be completely installed in a
room.Comparison of Ease of Replacement and DurabilityRegarding
durability, traditional rolled carpet is thought to be superior
because of the different composition. Some tiles are made of recycled
or natural materials and labeled environment-friendly. These are
generally less sturdy than their rolled counterparts, which tend to be
made of wool and thus resist wear and tear better.The cost of
replacement, however, is a different story. When damage strikes part
of a wool carpet, the entire carpet needs to be replaced. Conversely
when a carpet square is damaged severely, it can be easily removed
without having to replace the entirety of the carpet. Thus when it
comes to ease of replacement and cost of repair, squares or tiles of
carpet have the clear advantage. This also is the basis of carpet
tiles being favored for areas that receive a lot of traffic or a high
risk of spilling.
