Carpet tiles

Carpet tiles are an inexpensive alternative to wall-to-wall carpeting. Wall-to-wall carpeting is one piece of measured carpet professionally installed in a room. In contrast, carpet tiles are individual pieces of carpet that are pieced together on the floor.

Consumers who do not have the budget for professional installation of wall-to-wall carpeting should look into carpet tiles. The Home Depot do-it-yourself guide suggests that one of the few tasks that is too difficult for even the most experienced do-it-yourselfers is installing wall-to-wall carpet. However, installing carpet tiles is relatively easy.

Carpet tiles come in premeasured sizes such as 12 inches by 12 inches. Some have a peel away backing so that the tile simply sticks onto the floor. Carpet tiles are ideal for areas that need to be covered but will not be seen by guests when company is over. Consider carpet tiles for the basement area.
