Our online store offers a wide range of high-quality flooring solutions designed to meet different needs and preferences. One of the key products in our assortment is carpet tiles, which have gained significant popularity due to their practicality and modern, stylish appearance.

Below, we provide a comprehensive overview of carpet tile features, including their advantages and disadvantages, to help you make an informed decision for your flooring needs. We explain why carpet tiles are a practical and stylish choice and in which situations they are best suited.

What Are Carpet Tiles?

Carpet tiles consist of square or other-shaped carpet modules that are installed side by side to create a uniform carpet surface. They are widely used in commercial spaces, offices, and educational facilities, and increasingly also in residential interiors thanks to their flexible design and installation options.

Carpet tiles are available in a wide range of patterns, colours, and textures, allowing you to create a unique and personalised interior. They provide both comfort and durability and are easy to install and replace when needed.

Installation

Installing carpet tiles is a relatively simple and fast process. Before installation, ensure that the subfloor is clean, dry, and level, and free from dust, dirt, or debris that could affect adhesion.

Arrows on the back of the tiles indicate the installation direction. Following these arrows ensures a consistent appearance and prevents visual inconsistencies in patterns and textures.

Installation Methods

There are two main methods for installing carpet tiles:

Double-sided tape
A quick and easy solution, suitable for smaller areas and temporary installations. The tape is applied to the subfloor according to the installation layout, and the tiles are firmly pressed into place.

Tackifier adhesive
Provides a stronger and more permanent bond. We recommend using Kiilto Pro Grip adhesive, available in our online store, which is specifically designed for carpet tile installation.

If necessary, carpet tiles can be easily cut to size to fit corners and edges using a sharp carpet knife and a cutting mat.

Advantages of Carpet Tiles

• High durability – Unlike parquet floors that may scratch or wear easily, carpet tiles withstand heavy foot traffic and are ideal for offices, schools, and public spaces.

• Excellent acoustic performance – Carpet tiles reduce impact noise from footsteps and heels, creating a quieter and more comfortable environment.

• Anti-static properties – Ideal for offices and spaces with electronic equipment, helping to prevent electrostatic discharge.

• Easy replacement – Damaged or stained tiles can be replaced individually without removing the entire floor.

• Safety and comfort – Slip-resistant, warm, and comfortable underfoot, making them suitable for both commercial and residential use.

• Design flexibility – A wide selection of colours and patterns allows for creative and customised interior solutions.

---

Disadvantages

• Not suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms or kitchens, as moisture can damage the fibres and adhesive layer, potentially causing mould or odours.

• Require regular maintenance – Carpet tiles can absorb dirt and stains more easily than hard flooring options like LVT or ceramic tiles. Regular cleaning is essential, and some stains may require professional cleaning or tile replacement.

• Installation requires precision – Although installation is straightforward, accurate alignment is essential for a visually consistent result. Professional installation is recommended.

Conclusion

Carpet tiles are a versatile, durable, and stylish flooring solution suitable for both commercial and residential spaces. Their flexibility, acoustic benefits, and design options make them a practical and aesthetically pleasing choice. With proper installation and maintenance, carpet tiles provide a long-lasting and functional flooring solution.

His two children train at our club, making the understanding and agreement a natural process. We are very grateful to Floor Covering OÜ for their support! We hope that their positive step will serve as an example for similar partnerships.”

“We support FC Flora because we value their dedication, teamwork, and passion—qualities that we also appreciate in our work. We are pleased to contribute to the development of the community and the support of young aspiring footballers,” said Mehis Salu, CEO of Floor Covering OÜ.

Established in 2010, Floor Covering OÜ specializes in the installation of various flooring materials and subfloor leveling using a mixer pump. The company offers suitable solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial flooring, with a focus on quality and customer satisfaction. Over the years, Floor Covering OÜ has become one of the leading installation companies, collaborating with well-known construction firms and flooring suppliers.

Kiilto Pro Speed is an excellent adhesive choice for purposes such as mounting toilet seats or gluing light partition wall frames to the surrounding concrete structures.

Perhaps the most talked-about adhesive sealant this autumn has finally arrived. We have renewed our range of Kiilto Pro cartridge adhesives.

The new Kiilto Pro Speed bonds especially fast. This means that the adhesive joint develops its structural strength significantly faster other adhesive sealants.

“The product’s fast bonding capabilities bring real added value for both contractors and their customers. Using Kiilto Pro Speed for mounting toilet seats during bathroom renovations, for example, means that the bathroom will be available for use sooner,” says Kiilto product manager Saana Leppänen.

Kiilto Pro Speed is a precision solution that is also suitable for applications that require a research-proven acoustic joint sealant.

Choosing the right adhesive sealant now easier than ever

With our new and further improved range of cartridge adhesives and sealants, we also wanted to make life easier for our customers. Choosing the right product is now even simpler. You can now find Kiilto experts’ product recommendations for various purposes in this handy application table.

“Kiilto has been operating for over 100 years, and we have manufactured adhesives since the early decades. We know the performance requirements for adhesive sealants, and we have extensive knowledge of their various applications,” Leppänen says.

The new Kiilto Pro Silicone Remover is an effective ready-to-use product for removing old silicone and adhesive sealants. Sprayable Kiilto Pro Silicone Remover softens old, hardened silicone and various adhesive sealants, making their removal easier.

Kiilto Pro Silicone Remover is a versatile product that is suitable for removing all types of silicones, as well as for removing MS- and SMP-based adhesive sealants. The sprayed Silicone Remover adheres well to the old sealant, even on vertical surfaces, without dripping. The product is packed in a convenient and highly effective aerosol package.
