Why Carpet Tile?
Extended Appearance: Permanently stained or damaged tiles are easily replaced; selective tile replacement eliminates wear patterns. The ease of swapping a heavily soiled tile with a new one from attic stock provides extended life for the installation. Since 80% of the wear is on 20% of the carpet, removal of worn, soiled, or damaged modules also extends the appearance life of the product.
Ease of Installation/ Replacement: This is critical for future renovation projects where existing offices are occupied. Costs of installation, handling, staging, and storage are reduced. One area can be done at a time, providing little disruption. No stretching is required and there are no seams to snag, ravel, or deteriorate. When removal is required, it can be done with minimal effort.
Design Flexibility:
o Pattern Interplay
o Create Total Custom Designs
o No Limits
o No Boundaries
o Way Finding
o Cultural Iidentity
o Area Rugs
o Public Spaces
o Quarter turning allows for a second pattern element or texture.
o Quarter turning disguises the “new” tile look when replacing soiled tiles.
Ease of Handling and Storage: Additional tiles can be ordered for attic stock and kept on site. Most Shaw tiles are packaged in 5-square yard increments. The tiles can be easily handled since the tiles are 24”x24” squares instead of 12' roll goods.
