Tiles & Planks

Carpet tiles are pre-cut squares or rectangles of carpet that are attached to a backing. The tile backing adds stability to the weave and prevents buckling or curling. Carpet tiles are also referred to as tiled carpet, modular carpet, or modular flooring. Instead of being sold off the roll, as in broadloom carpeting, carpet tiles are sold by the case or box.

Carpet tiles provide an easy way to customize the flooring in your home.

• Cost Effective Carpet tiles are generally less expensive than broadloom carpet. Tiles are versatile, easy to install, and provide an instant update to any space. 

• Modular Individual carpet tiles and planks can be easily arranged, replaced, or customized to fit your space, even oddly shaped spaces.

• Creative Control Mix colors and textures to create your own unique pattern or layout.

• Lightweight Tiles are lightweight in comparison to a roll of carpet and hence are easier to handle.

• Less Waste Buy only what you need—no excess scraps of carpet to deal with.

• Refresh If a tile becomes stained or damaged, you can easily swap it out for a new tile instead of buying a whole new rug.

• Sound Absorption Carpet tiles help absorb and dampen sound, making interior spaces less echoey and the sound of walking quieter. 

Instant Designer Look We source luxury carpet tiles that designers welcome into their spaces. Quality construction, arresting textures, versatile color palettes, and an environmentally friendly resumé are a few of the highlights in our collection.

In addition to the overall benefits of carpet tiles, like design flexibility, easy installation, and layout versatility, wool carpet tiles offer even more advantages:

• Sound Absorption The layered structure of carpet tiles already absorbs sound, but wool fibers do an excellent job dampening ambient noise.

• Thermal Regulation Wool is renowned for its cozy qualities and it adds a layer of insulation to floors that helps regulate in-house temperatures.

• Hypoallergenic Wool absorbs dust, chemicals, and other pollutants, keeping the air you breath cleaner. And since wool is a natural product, it does not off-gas.

• Vibrant Colors Wool yarns dye incredibly well, and wool carpet squares offer a bounty of colorways.

We proudly sell tretford® Interlife tiles—fusion bonded, contract-grade carpet tiles crafted from durable goat hair wool, and available in an array of colors or in classic, quick-ship neutrals.

Yes. Whether you are using peel-and-stick adhesives or gluing down, installation is a snap. Many of our customers are able to install carpet tiles themselves. If you are not up for that, a professional installation is usually less expensive and time-consuming than a wall-to-wall carpet project.

Carpet tiles require the same attention that a wall-to-wall carpet or an area rug requires. Here are our top-level suggestions for keeping carpet tile looking its best:

1. Vacuum regularly

2. Clean up spills quickly

3. Adopt a “no shoes in the house” policy

4. Select the right material—natural sisal stains easily, whereas a wool or a synthetic carpet tile has inherent stain-resistance

5. Order extra tiles so you can easily swap out a damaged or heavily soiled tile with a fresh one—this makes carpet tile ideal for busy households as well as commercial applications

For peace of mind, a Care Guide comes with all our carpet tile selections, findable under the Care tab on the product page.
