Carpet squares have been around as a method of covering a floor for many years. They were most commonly used as a simple, cost effective floor covering in highly trafficked commercial buildings, such as airports and schools. However, the benefits of carpet squares have increasingly become recognized by homeowners and it can be found in many residential properties these days.

Modular carpet or carpet tile, as they style is also known, comprises small square tiles that are placed one by one to cover an entire floor. This makes them fairly easy to install and this is one of the attractions of using them. Carpet tiles are also easy to remove once installed and this makes it easy to replace damaged or worn tiles to keep the floor in a room looking fresh.

Those interested in using modular carpet have the option of using thinner tiles that are more affordable or thicker squares that can be more costly. The budget available will obviously determine the final choice, although thicker tiles can be more durable and this can provide a more cost effective option over the long run.
