Carpet tiles are a new exciting way to update your floorsFlor carpet tiles are a modular flooring product and one of the best new decorating innovations to come along in a very long time. Ideal for kids bedrooms, living rooms, family rooms, offices, hallways and just about anywhere you can think of. You can make your own custom area rugs of any size or go as far as wall to wall carpeting. As a do it yourself project this product is an easy choice. Gorgeous patterns, lush textures, and colors that just look great. These carpet tiles come in designs inspired by decorators and people like you that want to decorate your own way with your own color scheme in mind.
Carpet squares allow you to design your homes flooring your way in any room, over almost any smooth surface. Because it comes in tiles it is very versatile, Start with an area rug, and take it wall to wall. Create your own designs, mix and match, try new things because change isn’t scary when it isn’t permanent. Use them on hardwood floors to add more color or texture.
This type of flooring was created with flexibility and an endless variety in the way you can use it. You can design a unique area rug, pull it up and create something new in an afternoon. I know in my apartment I wouldn't want to spend any money on my floors if I wasn't compensated for it, or in a home or office that I was planning to move soon. That isn't a problem with flor because you can just up and take it with you. The floor carpet tiles are very easy to install, the most expensive tool you will need to buy is a cutting knife at around 12 dollars. FLOR stays in place even under heavy traffic and vacuuming. For spills you simply pull up the tiles and rinse under cool water. For stains, use a non-citrus/non-solvent cleaner. Always dry tiles before replacing. FLOR is engineered to hug the floor. Every order comes with new FLORDots that have notches that guide tile fit and the sticky side stays on the FLOR, not your floor this in effect makes a modular floating floor just like any laminate wood floor except its carpet. Floor Tile SizesIf you want to be creative with your floor styles then shaped tiles are for you. Squares and rectangles now join forces with rhomboids, subways, octagons, hexagons and ovals or circles. By mixing it up you create a unique looking floor that shows you creative talents. The 4x4 inch other standard tiles are still important and should be used with all designs. Overized tiles can be used when you need a pattern for an area that won't quite fit an even number of smaller shapes, these will ellimiate a lot of cutting if you are doing it yourself. The larger tiles are usually around 18 inches square and will make an intersting pattern to mix and match. Mini tiles like the Ann Sacks penny round Line are the size of coins and mounted on a net of backing for easy installation. Sort of like the older style 1 inch tile sheets. Cut mosiac tiles for borders and corners are even smaller than these, some being less than an inch. Most mosaics come in a wider range of colors and patterns now so if you wanted to install a matching splash guard for the counter top it is fairly easy to match the floor tile patterns and colors. Metal tiles come in copper, pewter and stainless steel in styles ranging from contemporary to traditional. These are mainly used as accents and not for large surfaces like the floor. If you like the look of these you can cut your costs in half by using metal glazed tiles instead of the real deal. You won't be able to tell the difference once the job is completed.
