Modern Carpet Tiles...
Quick and Easy
Opt for carpet tiles, quick to install and easy to replace.
As we have already discussed, the flooring options you finalize for your kid’s room must be carefully thought out and in keeping with the personality of your child.
Rug tiles have many advantages and are a popular choice among
consumers of today. They are all the rage in public settings frequented by kids, such as libraries, pre-schools, museums and more.
Thanks to the high demand of carpet tiles in a multitude of areas, including many offices, manufacturers have gone beyond our imagination to offer carpet patterns, colors and styles that allow us to mix and match and create that unique look.
But you are not really interested in the carpeting options for offices or libraries. You are not even concerned (for now, at least) of the wonderful options it presents for your living room and hallway.
You just want to find the best flooring option for your kid’s room. Period.
We know just what you want to hear. And guess what? You WILL hear just that and rush to buy your first set of carpet tiles before you reach the end of this page.
1. Cleanliness – Your Biggest Concern. Let us start by discussing what is at the top of your priority list for flooring options. Cleanliness! Carpets are an expensive and (supposedly) long term investment. You choose the color, the texture, the pattern that best fits the room’s theme.
And then it happens! The ‘accident’ and food or juice spills. Did we forget the cookie crumbs? How about grape jelly smears? Are you cringing already? Don’t worry, it’s Carpet Tiles to the rescue. Yes, the best benefit they offer is that you can replace a damaged or worn area without having to replace the whole carpet.
In fact, if you attend to it right away, you can even pick up that one tile, clean it with soap and water, dry it out and replace. Are you running to the store already? Wait, there is more!
2. You Choose the Size and Shape of Your Rug. Unlike traditional area rugs where the shape and size are pre-determined, carpet tiles offer you the versatility to fit the rug into the room as you want. You might think, hey, these tiles only come in squares (a few do offer circular ones too). True, but think out of the box and create exclusive carpet patterns. How about a small XXX shaped rug?
Tip: You could also consider a wall-to-wall carpet made of these rug tiles. It can lift the mood of the baby nursery or toddler room instantly.
3. Colors, Patterns and Styles to Suit Your Image. Now that you are convinced that carpet tiles are the best thing for your baby’s nursery or toddler room, how about tackling the terrifyingly trend-obsessed tweens and teens? They will fall in love with the variety of colors, styles and carpet patterns. The chance to create their own unique area rug (and maybe start a new trend? Awesome) is sure to tempt them in its favor.
4. Easy Access to Under-Floor Wiring. Another important point in their favor is that they also allow easy access to under-floor wiring or plumbing. They are installed over a solid or cement floor with self sticking adhesive. Once again, the ability to pick out one tile instead of the entire carpet, allows greater flexibility.
5. Living in a Rented Apartment? If you happen to live in a rented apartment, rug tiles are just right for you. They help introduce your personality into the mundane space and claim it as your own. Moreover, they are portable and can be resized to fit any room you might move into later.
6. What to Remember While Purchasing Carpet Tiles? You know that you have found the flooring option you were looking for. But there are some important points to remember while purchasing.
- Take measurements. Carpet Squares normally come in one size: 18 x 18 inches. Get your measurements right before ordering.
- Cost concerns. The cost depends on the thickness and density of the tile. While thick and cushioned tiles would be great for your living room, the child’s room needs a thin carpet allowing free movement of toddlers, tricycles and doll strollers.
- Think of the wear and tear. Vinyl or linoleum carpet tiles would best suit a kid’s room as they would be easier to maintain and can take loads of wear and tear.
- Consider the weather. Strong sunlight streaming through open windows can damage the carpet surface.
- Extra supplies. Purchase extra tiles at the same time as your main order. If you order later, chances are the colors will be slightly different.
7. The Pledge to Recycle. As a concerned environmentalist, you must always remember to recycle any old carpet or replaced rug tiles. There are companies that recycle and re-use. Besides a number of good carpet tiles manufacturers create new tiles from recycled products. Do your bit, buy such recycled tiles and help the environment.
Have you taken a peek already and decided on the carpet tiles that you plan to buy? Good for you. Go ahead and make that payment. You will be glad you did. Not only will your kid’s room be the talk of the neighborhood, you will soon be back for the design you had already secretly selected for your living room.
