Carpet tiles (also called carpet squares or modular carpet) are small, pre-cut sections of carpet, usually 50×50 cm or 60×60 cm, laid side‑by‑side to form a full floor covering, unlike traditional wall‑to‑wall carpet which comes in wide rolls.

Key Features
• Modular design: Easy to fit around corners, pillars, or irregular rooms; only damaged tiles need replacing
• Installation: Options include peel‑and‑stick, self‑locking edges, or adhesive dots — often DIY‑friendly
• Materials: Mostly nylon, polypropylene, wool blends, or recycled fibers; durable, stain‑resistant, and low‑shed
• Benefits: Good sound insulation, warmth, slip resistance, and lower long‑term maintenance costs
• Design: Mix colours, patterns, or orientations (brick, ashlar, monolithic) for custom looks

Common Uses
• Commercial: Offices, schools, shops, hotels — high‑traffic areas
• Residential: Home offices, playrooms, basements, rentals, or living areas

Pros
• Easy install & replace
• Cost‑effective repairs
• Flexible layout & design
• Easy to lift/move

Cons
• Visible seams if laid poorly
• Generally less plush than broadloom
• Can curl if backing fails
• Some cheaper types wear faster
