Carpet tiles (also called modular carpet) are square pieces of carpet (usually 50×50 cm or 60×60 cm) designed to be laid in patterns or grid formats.

They are a versatile alternative to broadloom carpet and offer easy installation, replacement, and maintenance.

They are widely used in:
✔ Office buildings
✔ Hotels & hospitality areas
✔ Retail spaces
✔ Conference rooms
✔ Homes & apartments
✔ Educational and healthcare facilities

Typical Construction

Carpet tiles are manufactured in multiple layers:

�� 1. Face Fiber (Pile Yarn)
The visible surface that provides texture, feel, and color. Common materials:

• Nylon (Polyamide) – most durable, good colorfastness

• Polypropylene (Olefin) – stain resistant, budget-friendly

• Wool – premium natural fiber, great comfort & insulation

• PET (Recycled Polyester) – eco-friendly option

Nylon is the most common for commercial use due to wear resistance and resilience.

�� 2. Secondary Backing
Holds the fiber tufts in place and improves dimensional stability. Often made of:

• Synthetic woven or non-woven fabric

�� 3. Primary Backing
Base layer that anchors the yarn and supports the tile structure.

�� 4. Backing/Backing Treatment
Provides weight, strength, and sometimes adhesive compatibility. Types include:

• PVC bitumen

• Eco-friendly hot-melt backing

• Recycled rubber backing

Many manufacturers also offer custom sizes to match project requirements.

�� Performance Specifications 1. Fiber Density & Weight

• Face Weight: 500–1500 g/m² (depends on quality & use)

  • Higher weight → more durable & plush

• Pile Height: 3.0–5.5 mm

  • Lower → commercial-grade

  • Higher → residential / comfort

2. Stain & Soil Resistance

• Stain Protection: Often treated with stain repellants (e.g., Scotchgard)

• Soil Protection: Yarn finishes help prevent dirt embedding

3. Flammability / Fire Ratings

• Must meet local fire standards (example ratings):

  • Class 1 / Class A per ASTM E-648

  • CRI Green Label Plus for low VOC emissions

4. Wear & Durability

• Traffic Ratings:

  • Light Commercial: Low to moderate footfall

  • Heavy Commercial: High-traffic areas (airports, malls)

• Appearance Retention Rating (ARR):

  • Scale 1–5; 4–5 is ideal for heavy use

5. Sound Absorption

• Carpet tiles reduce noise — often rated with:

  • CAC (Carpet Absorption Coefficient)

6. Dimensional Stability

• Percent change in tile size after installation and humidity exposure

7. Backing Bond Strength

• Measured in Newtons (N) — higher is better for preventing delamination.
