For many homeowners, the very idea of choosing carpet can be overwhelming. With so many different types to choose from, going into a store or showroom can be daunting. If you know what you’re looking for, it can be so much easier.
If you’re looking for economical, durable carpet for high-traffic areas in your home, carpet squares fit the bill.
3 Advantages of Installing Carpet Squares
- Carpet squares are easy to clean
- They are less likely to attract and pick up allergens
- As they’re sectionalized, you don’t have to replace the whole thing if one area gets stained
Buying Tip: When you purchase carpet squares, buy a few more than you need so that if/when a stain does occur, you will have extras to replace the soiled ones. This way, you won’t have to worry about finding an exact match when it’s time to make a repair.
The Best Rooms for Carpet Squares
Carpet squares are ideal for high-traffic areas like children’s playrooms, basements and bonus rooms. The most popular size for residential carpet squares are the 18″x18″ tiles. The most durable type has the look and feel of cut pile.
Professional Installation Recommended
Professional installation is recommended because carpet tiles can separate and curl at the edges. A professional will know how to install it so that it is not only perfectly aligned, but covers the entire room evenly, with no gaps or curling that can cause tripping.
