Product Information

Full details

Our Heavy Duty 8mm Thick Carpet Tiles are designed for homeowners and businesses seeking a durable, stylish, and easy-to-maintain flooring solution. The key benefit is their robust construction offering long-lasting performance in high-traffic areas. A minor caveat is their 8mm thickness, which may require careful consideration for existing door clearances. These tiles provide a practical and attractive upgrade for living rooms, offices, showrooms, shops, and hotels, featuring a resilient loop pile, subtle ribbed texture, and a strong bitumen backing for stability.

FAQs

What is the best way to clean a stain on these carpet tiles?

Blot up any excess liquid immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For most stains, use a mild detergent mixed with water and apply with a damp cloth, working from the edge of the stain inwards. Rinse the area with a clean, damp cloth and blot dry thoroughly.

Can I install these tiles myself?

Yes, these tiles are designed for DIY installation. Their 50 x 50 cm size makes them manageable, and clear instructions are available for preparation and fitting.

How do I ensure the tiles lay flat and don't move?

Proper subfloor preparation (clean, dry, level) and the use of a quality carpet tile adhesive are crucial. Ensure tiles are firmly pressed into the adhesive and weighted down if necessary during the curing process.

What is the intended lifespan of these tiles?

These tiles are backed by a 20-year guarantee, indicating they are designed for long-term durability and performance under normal use conditions.

Are these tiles suitable for a home office with a rolling chair?

Yes, the heavy-duty construction and resilient loop pile are well-suited for areas with rolling chairs. Regular vacuuming will help maintain their appearance.

How many tiles are in a box?

Each box contains 16 tiles.

What area does one box cover?

One box covers 4 square metres.

Troubleshooting

Tiles not sticking securely

Ensure the subfloor is properly prepared, clean, dry, and level. Check that the correct adhesive has been used and applied evenly. Allow adequate drying time for the adhesive before heavy use.

Uneven appearance or pattern mismatch

Verify that each tile was rotated 90 degrees upon installation. Check that tiles are laid in straight rows and aligned correctly. Ensure consistent pile direction across all tiles.

Visible wear or matting in high-traffic areas

Vacuum regularly with appropriate settings. Consider using a rug or mat in the most heavily trafficked zones. Ensure the initial installation was done with sufficient adhesive coverage.

Difficulty cutting tiles cleanly

Use a very sharp utility knife and a sturdy metal ruler or straight edge. Score the backing of the tile first, then cut through the pile. Make multiple shallow passes rather than trying to cut through in one go.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable for high-traffic areas.
  • Easy to install and replace individual tiles.
  • Antibacterial and stain-resistant properties enhance hygiene and reduce maintenance.
  • Modern ribbed texture adds visual appeal.
  • Long-lasting performance backed by a 20-year guarantee.

Cons

  • 8mm thickness might affect door clearances.
  • Loop pile can sometimes be less comfortable underfoot than cut pile.
  • Requires a level subfloor for optimal installation and performance.
  • Not suitable for wet areas or areas prone to excessive moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Subfloor: Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level. Remove any old adhesive, dust, or debris. A primer may be necessary on some surfaces for optimal adhesion.
  2. Layout Planning: Plan your layout, considering the direction of the pile and the pattern of the ribbing for a seamless look. Start from the center of the room or a prominent wall.
  3. Adhesive Application: Apply a suitable carpet tile adhesive evenly to the subfloor using a trowel, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Work in small sections to prevent the adhesive from drying out.
  4. Tile Placement: Place the tiles firmly onto the adhesive, pressing down to ensure good contact. Use a straight edge or string line to guide your placement and ensure straight rows. Rotate each tile 90 degrees upon laying for the best finish.
  5. Cutting: Use a sharp utility knife and a straight edge to cut tiles for edges and around obstacles.

Compatibility:

These tiles are compatible with most standard subfloors, including concrete, wood, and existing hard flooring, provided they are level and sound. They are not recommended for use with underfloor heating systems that exceed manufacturer guidelines, nor in areas directly exposed to prolonged wet conditions.

Care:

  • Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly to remove surface dirt and grit. Use a suction-only vacuum cleaner head if possible, avoiding beater bars which can damage the pile.
  • Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and a damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inward. Rinse the area with a clean, damp cloth and blot dry.
  • Deep Cleaning: Professional cleaning or the use of a carpet cleaning machine designed for loop pile carpets can be performed periodically.
