Step 1: Basic tools and indoor conditions Preparation

Before you begin, there are a few basic tools you need to have at your disposal to allow you to complete the job safely and efficiently.

These include:

Vacuum or brush

Tape measure

Fixed blade utility knife

Metal ruler

Carpet tile adhesive or double-sided tape

It’s important to make sure that the carpet tiles have acclimatised to the temperature of the room for at least 24-hours before fitting. Simply lift them out of the box and spread them out across the room to circulate the air between.

Step 2: Prepare the subfloor

Any existing floor coverings (i.e. carpet or underlay) must be removed before new carpet tiles can be fitted.If the old carpet was glued down, consider cutting it into strips using a utility knife. For larger areas, it’s worth hiring a carpet lifting tool to simplify the process of removal.The subfloor needs to be clean, dry and solid. Sweep the floor with a brush or use a vacuum to lift any loose dirt or dust. Damp floors will also need to be sealed with the appropriate sealer and uneven floors will need rectifying with a self-levelling screed.

Step 3: Measure the room

Accurately measure the width and length of the room with your tape measure and, using chalk or a pencil, mark the centre.The next step is to calculate how many full tiles you need. Add 10 percent for waste and future repairs. To do so, provisionally lay a row across the length and width, starting from the centre. Readjust the centre point if you need to and make sure you have enough spare tiles to cut for around the edge of the room.

Step 4: Arrange the tiles on the floor

Every tile has pile direction arrows on the back.For a streamlined boardroom look, lay them all in the same direction. If you’d like to create a checkerboard pattern with carpet tiles or to achieve a shading effect, alternate them. Have a little play around with them and see which you like best.

Step 5: Apply carpet tile flooring adhesive

Once you’re happy with the arrangement, you can then start to lay the carpet tiles using a suitable adhesive.We Recommend Using water based glue,Super simple to use, you can either apply the glue using a long brush or roller. After applying the adhesive to the back of the tiles, wait 20-30 minutes for it to dry to a clear, tacky film. Laying your tiles too soon when the adhesive is still wet will make it difficult for you to lift the tiles for cleaning or replacement in the future.

Step 6: Lay the carpet tiles

Instead of laying your carpet tiles along the wall, start from the centre of the room and work your way outwards. This is because, if the wall isn’t straight, your tiles won’t be either.Push the tiles together tightly without trapping the pile between the joints. And make absolutely sure every tile you lay is in line with the others and secure to ensure no movement.Once the full tiles have been laid, you then need to do the cuts around the perimeter. Carefully measure the gap between the end tile and the wall and make a marker on the rear of the tile. To ensure a neat cut, use a metal ruler and pencil, and change your cutting knife often.

Top tip: always cut from the back of the tile (never the front) by scoring two or three lines and mind your fingers!

Step 7: Final checks

After all the cuts have been completed, double-check the tiles are tight and aligned, as a poorly fitted floor can move and pose a serious health and safety hazard.If they are locked in securely and you’re happy, give the flooring a quick hoover to remove any debris left behind from the installation.

Carpet Tiles Layout Options:

Our carpet tiles range can be laid in many different ways. The three main layouts are Monolithic (stacked pattern), Brick or Ashlar patterns (brick horizontal and Ashlar vertical) and lastly Quater Turn pattern which alternates one vertical and the next horizontal. These will create a very distinct pattern using the same tile. You can also add some flair and mix multiple colours to create a unique pattern to suit your corporate them. Some Carpet Tile designs blend well into each other giving you the look of continuous flowing carpet, while others create a more unique pattern. It’s worth noting that not all carpet tiles can be laid in all 4 options due to designs. Each layout pattern is dependent on the carpet tile design.

Most of our carpet tile range comes in either 50cm x 50cm square tile or a plank version which is 25cm x 100cm allowing you to get more creative with your flooring options.
