Office carpet tiles fitter Slough, commercial flooring contractor

by Cavendis · February 3, 2016

We are continuing with the carpet tiles in the office in Slough and we are tessellating them as they are a ribbed tile from Heckmondwike. As the ribs are almost impossible to match – not least because some of these tiles are out by as much as 5mm, they look much nicer this way.

Generally Carpet tiles are easy to install, remove and replace and this is why they are most useful in large offices and working areas. If one gets damaged then you just pull it up and replace it.

Tricky cuts aside, the process of installing carpet tiles is straightforward and large areas can be laid in a short period of time and so this represents a significant reduced cost to the customer over other types of flooring.

Carpet tiles installation techniques
Installers tile from the centre of the room and out to the edges using a very small amount of low-tack adhesive to ensure a firm fit. The tiles are then cut to fit flush to the edges of the rooms.

There are now so many different carpet tiles in so many colours and surface patterns to choose from, it often helps to have a professional flooring company to provide suggestions on the right tile to suit your budget and aesthetic requirements .

Sometimes it can be very effective to mix and match products to create patterns or even logos during the laying process, resulting in a unique flooring design.

Types of carpet tile installation
The main laying patterns are quarter-turn, ashlar, brick, non directional and monolithic.

Quarter Turn: Tiles turned 90 degrees to one another – also known as Chequer Board or Tessellated.
