The Metropolis Tile in Dark Grey is designed for busy residential and commercial spaces needing a durable, modern flooring solution. Its key benefit is the high stain and wear resistance, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. A minor caveat is that while versatile, its plain loop pile design might require careful styling to stand out in highly decorative interiors. This carpet tile offers a practical and resilient flooring option with its 100% solution-dyed nylon construction, featuring a loop pile for enhanced durability and a sleek appearance suitable for offices, schools, retail, and homes.

Yes, Metropolis Tiles can be used in basements provided the subfloor is dry and properly prepared. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent moisture issues, as prolonged exposure to dampness can affect the adhesive and backing.
While the plain design is versatile, mixing it with other styles might disrupt the intended aesthetic. If mixing, ensure the tile dimensions and backing are compatible for a seamless installation.
Made from 100% solution-dyed nylon with a durable loop pile, these tiles are designed for longevity in high-traffic environments. With proper care and maintenance, they can last many years, often exceeding 10 years in commercial settings.
The Metropolis Tile has a thickness of 5.6 mm, offering a good balance of comfort and durability for various applications.
For deep stains, use a carpet cleaner specifically formulated for nylon carpets. Always blot the stain rather than rubbing, and work from the outside in. Test the cleaner on a small, hidden area first. If the stain persists, consider contacting a professional carpet cleaner.
DIY installation is possible if you have experience with flooring. However, for a professional finish and to ensure optimal performance and longevity, especially in commercial settings, professional installation is highly recommended.
The product description does not specify eco-friendly attributes. However, 100% nylon is a recyclable material, and the durability contributes to a longer product lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
This may be due to improper subfloor preparation, insufficient adhesive, or inadequate acclimatization. Ensure the subfloor is level and dry, use the correct amount and type of adhesive, and allow tiles to acclimatize properly before installation. Re-adhering the affected tiles may be necessary.
Ensure stains are addressed immediately. Use a suitable carpet stain remover designed for nylon carpets and test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the fibers. Professional cleaning may be required for persistent stains.
This can happen if insufficient adhesive was used or if there is excessive moisture. Check the adhesive bond; if it's weak, carefully lift the tile and reapply the appropriate adhesive, pressing firmly. Ensure the area is well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup.
While solution-dyed nylon is highly colorfast, minor variations can occur between dye lots. Ensure tiles from the same batch are used in any given area. If inconsistencies are noticed post-installation, check if it's due to different cleaning methods or wear patterns.
Setup:
Metropolis Tiles are designed for installation on a clean, dry, and level subfloor. It is recommended to acclimate the tiles to the room's temperature for at least 24 hours before installation. Tiles are typically laid in a checkerboard or monolithic pattern using a recommended carpet tile adhesive. For best results and to ensure longevity, professional installation is advised.
Compatibility:
These tiles are compatible with most standard subfloors, including concrete, wood, and existing hard surface flooring (provided it is level and sound). They are suitable for use with underfloor heating systems, provided the maximum temperature specified by the adhesive manufacturer is not exceeded.
Care Instructions:
Regular vacuuming with an upright vacuum cleaner (preferably with a brush control) is essential to maintain appearance and remove surface dirt. For spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution or a carpet spot remover specifically designed for nylon carpets. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive moisture, and ensure tiles dry thoroughly after cleaning. Periodically, a professional deep clean may be beneficial for maintaining the tiles' optimal condition.
