Which Carpet Tiles should I choose?
Carpet Tiles come in many different colours, patterns and constructions. Common constructions of carpet tiles are loop pile, cut pile, twist pile, cord or rib. You can also get hair, velour and hobnail carpet tiles. All of these finishes can be used in any residential or industrial situation although this depends on the area in which they are to be laid. Normally you would not fit a coarse office carpet tile in a bedroom/bathroom or use the hobnail finish for kitchen carpet tiles. However if you have pets and need a hard wearing solution that works, then this may be the right choice for you. On the other hand using a light coloured cut pile carpet tile would show dirt quickly if fitted in a motor factors or the office of a busy engineering company and would be considered the wrong choice. Our advice is think about what the area will be used for and then choose a suitable finish before picking a colour.
The two most common fibres used in carpet tiles are nylon and polypropylene. Polypropylene is known for its great strength and durability and is generally lower in price than nylon. Nylon is a softer material so the fibre bends and springs back with movement making them more suited for castor chairs. Nylon carpet tiles have a heavy contract rating whereas most polypropylene carpet tiles are classed as general contract. Both types of carpet tile will look and perform almost the same but nylon tiles tend to keep their appearance for longer in high traffic situations. Choosing the right finish is important when using polypropylene tiles. There are real savings to be made as long as all factors have been taken into consideration.
