How do I clean these carpet tiles?
Regular vacuuming is recommended. For spills, blot immediately and use a mild detergent solution with a damp cloth for stains. Avoid excessive water.
Are these tiles good for soundproofing?
Yes, they are designed to reduce impact noise by 20dB, which is beneficial for creating a quieter environment in busy homes or light commercial spaces.
Can I install these tiles over existing flooring?
These tiles are compatible with most indoor subfloors. Ensure the existing flooring is hard, level, and securely fixed. It's best to check compatibility with your specific subfloor type.
What is the thickness of the Supacord Carpet Tiles?

Troubleshooting
Tiles do not lay flat or have gaps
Ensure the subfloor is perfectly level and dry. Allow tiles to acclimatize for 24-48 hours in the room before installation. Check that tiles are butted tightly together.
Edges fraying after cutting
Use a very sharp carpet knife and a straight edge for cutting. Ensure you are cutting from the back of the tile. The 'anti-fray' properties should minimize this, but a clean cut is essential.
Excessive noise/impact still noticeable
While rated for 20dB reduction, extremely heavy impact may still transfer. Ensure tiles are installed correctly with a firm backing. Consider a thin underlay if the subfloor is particularly hard.
Stains are difficult to remove
Blot spills immediately. Use a mild carpet cleaning solution and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For persistent stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.
