How you can select the right carpet tile
Ready to give your floors a “carpet tile” makeover? Here’s some guidance on how to choose the best tile for your carpet flooring.
- Go for carpet tiles with open cell cushion backing. These “re-inflate” after being compressed from the impact of foot traffic, protecting your floor covering more effectively and for longer.
- Select carpet tiles with built-in stain resist technology. This will help prevent staining and soiling over the lifetime of the carpet and reduce time and costs associated with regular cleaning.
- Remember to ask about the manufacturer’s warranty when you set out to buy carpet tiles. The best carpet tiles will come with a comprehensive warranty program, covering all the important aspects of carpet tile performance for the lifetime of your carpet.
- Consider using the Australian Carpet Classification Scheme (ACCS) as a guide while purchasing carpet tiles. This uses a series of stars to indicate the carpet’s durability and ability to retain appearance.
