Carpet tiles

Step 1. First of all, you need to decide on the style and kind of tiles,

considering measurements, light in the room and whatever your project depends on. When you pass the very first planning stage, you are up for carpet tiles’ laying process. You need to find the centre of your room by finding the centre of each wall. To do that you need to measure the length of each wall and divide it by two. Do not forget to mark the point with a pencil.

To find the centre of your tiles, you will need to measure the width of the tiles and divide it by two. Place the centre of a tile at the wall’s centre mark. Do not forget to then mark the wall at each end of the tile and repeat this process on the rest of the walls in your room. Now get some chalk and draw lines from the parallel walls across the room. Those lines will help you to navigate when you are laying your carpet tiles, identifying the centre of the room.

Step 2.

Place the first tile square in the centre of the lines you have drawn and work tiles out from there.

Step 3.

This is your chance to express your personality. Use multiple colours to create the pattern you want. With carpet tiles, you can replace any of them at any time to change the pattern or fix a damage.

Step 4.

The step before the last one is to tidy your work up. Place your tile upside down and set it flush with the wall and mark at both ends where the carpet square overlaps the next to the last rows of full carpet squares. Use a carpenter’s square or straight edge and a utility knife to make a straight cut on the backside of the carpet square. Install the partial square with the cut edge against the baseboard.

Step 5.

Sit down and enjoy your work!
