Replacing and Rotating Carpet Tiles

Replacement and rotation maintenance was a key design feature of the original carpet tiles, in response to a very real problem with carpet rolls and sheets.

Walkway areas or those around regular spillage points like a sink can quickly become discoloured, worn out or damaged, with regular carpets this means replacing the entire floor area. Even with all the strength and resilience built into carpet tiles eventually, these same areas will show signs of ageing; but that is easily fixed with a tiled floor.

Simple rotations of carpet tiles from low traffic areas to corridors means worn tiles are out of sight whilst busy areas of the office have modular flooring that looks almost like new.

Planning regular rotations of carpet tiles every six months or annually, depending on usage levels of your floor, means a minimum of disruption to business and a maximising of your investment in a modular floor. Free lay tiles can be rotated very quickly by your own maintenance team or general staff with little mess or fuss. Carpet tiles which have been affixed with adhesives may require the support of a professional installer to get a really good-looking result quickly.

Rotation alone can easily double or triple the lifetime of a carpet tile floor, but by combining it with proper cleaning carpet tile care and well planned replacements you can extend that life even further.

A beauty of any tiled surface is that if damage occurs; such as a rip or spill to a carpet tile, that tile can be removed and replaced in seconds with a new one. Whenever you get a modular floor installed, make sure you retain a few extra tiles for just this sort of maintenance and you can make sure that stains which would have required a whole new carpet with a roll, just need a fast, low cost replacement tile.

Regular replacement and rotation of carpet tiles can make a modular floor last for many years beyond what you may expect, so get the best value for money by ensuring a regular care plan for your carpet-tiled floor.
