Carpet tile is a popular flooring installation choice in hotels, casinos, restaurants, office buildings, and even homes due to the fact that it is versatile, easy to install, and eventually easy to replace. Depending on where it’s located and how it’s maintained, a carpet tile installation can last anywhere from five to 20 years.
To maximize the life of your carpet tile installation, our infographic above provides some tips for keeping your floor in good condition.
Over time, regular use causes dirt to build up in a carpet tile. If not maintained, this will cause the carpet’s appearance to deteriorate. We recommend vacuuming regularly, as this can remove up to 80% of the dirt and debris your floor accumulates.
In addition to vacuuming your floor regularly, a deep cleaning every so often can go a long way in the life of carpet tiles. We recommend using a detergent-free method, where dry powders use small porous beads to absorb the dirt, allowing it to be removed with a vacuum.
One way to prevent dirt and debris from entering your home or business in the first place is to install some type of tiered entryway system. This could include recessed floors and metal grates, walk-off tiles, and entry mats. When implemented properly, these systems can reduce dirt, debris and moisture by up to 80%.
