Using an Expert Carpet Tile Installer

Carpet tiles are a very simple floor covering to lay in comparison to others, but getting a really polished finish that fits perfectly to the walls and really lasts under the heaviest traffic, always use a professional.

It is always tempting to try installing products like carpet tiles yourself because they seem so simple, however fitting them perfectly to the edge of a room or getting the best result out of spaces that are not square takes experience. Carpet tile fitters are widely available because modular flooring is so popular in commercial environments, so searching out a good one should not be difficult.

Find a carpet tile installer you can rely on following a few basic rules;

• Ask contacts for recommendations
• Get recommendations from your carpet tile supplier
• Arrange for quotes from several installers
• Ensure installers are commercial specialists
• Request testimonials from other carpet tile installations
• Make sure business terms include a satisfaction guarantee
• Go with carpet tile installers who also offer maintenance

An important added consideration with carpet tiles is health and safety; poorly laid modular flooring can work loose creating tripping or slipping hazards, using a professional carpet tile installer ensures full risk assessment compliance.

Maintaining Your Carpet Tiles

Maintenance services are useful to have especially if your company does not include maintenance or property management staff; proper use of carpet tiles requires regular rotation or replacement to get rid of stains and spread wear or fading.

Replacement tiles can be quickly laid by anyone but full rotation of a floor, especially if adhesives have been used, is best carried out by an installer who can ensure all the carpet tiles lay down neatly and squarely with the walls after rotation.
