Carpet tile flooring is a modular carpet system preferred in offices, hotels, hospitals and commercial areas. We offer long-lasting, easy-to-maintain and aesthetic floor solutions with bitumen, PVC and eco-back backing options.
🧩 What is Carpet Tile Flooring?
Carpet tile is a modular floor covering solution that combines aesthetics, comfort and functionality in modern interiors. Unlike traditional roll carpets, carpet tiles are produced in square or rectangular panels and applied with modular laying systems.
This system offers not only easy installation but also many advantages such as maintenance, cleaning, replaceability and acoustic insulation. Today, it is widely preferred in high-traffic areas such as offices, hotels, schools, hospitals, call centers, banks, airports, and conference halls.
Carpet Tile Flooring Types
1. Bitumen Backed Carpet Tile
The most commonly used carpet tile type. Provides high sound absorption thanks to its bitumen backing and maintains its form even under heavy furniture. Especially preferred in offices, conference halls and hotel rooms.
- High acoustic performance (20-30 dB sound absorption)
- Resistance to deformation
- Long-lasting use (10-15 years)
- Ideal for office floor covering
2. PVC Backed Carpet Tile
Stands out with its durable and water-resistant structure. Suitable for use in humid environments or on raised floor systems. Not affected by temperature changes and long-lasting.
- Water and moisture resistance
- Suitable for raised floor systems
- Stable against temperature changes
- Compatible infrastructure with PVC floor covering
3. Eco-Back (Recycled) Carpet Tile
Produced from 100% recycled materials. Preferred in green building certification projects such as LEED, BREEAM. Essential part of sustainable architectural projects with environmentally friendly production processes and low carbon footprint.
- 100% recycled material
- LEED and BREEAM certification compatible
- Low VOC emission
- Environmentally friendly and sustainable
4. Polyurethane (PU) Backed Carpet Tile
Absorbs footstep sounds to a great extent with its soft and comfortable structure. Preferred in areas where comfort and hygiene are important such as hotels, hospitals, kindergartens.
- Superior walking comfort
- Maximum sound absorption
- Hygienic and easy maintenance
- Ideal for healthcare facilities
Carpet Tile Flooring Advantages
✓ Wide Pattern, Texture and Color Options
Modern carpet tile collections are presented with thousands of color and pattern options. Natural stone, concrete, textile or wood effects can be imitated exactly thanks to digital printing and warp-dyed yarn technologies. Offers design solutions compatible with alternatives like vinyl floor.
✓ Acoustic Performance and Sound Insulation
One of the most important advantages of carpet tile is providing acoustic comfort. Footstep sound can be reduced up to 20-30 dB thanks to the fibrous surface and flexible backing of the carpet. This feature is ideal for noise control in open offices, call centers and school corridors. PU backed or special acoustic underlay supported carpet tiles are used in projects requiring advanced acoustic performance.
✓ Easy Maintenance and Repair
Damaged or stained tiles can be easily replaced thanks to modular structure. Only problematic areas are replaced instead of renewing the entire floor. This feature provides 40-60% cost savings in the long term. Much more flexible than permanent coatings like epoxy floor.
✓ Moisture, Water and Fire Resistance
Carpet tiles with proper backing system are not affected by moisture and provide protection against mold formation. Also, many manufacturers produce according to EN 13501-1 standard with fire retardant chemical additives. Do not damage electronic devices thanks to antistatic properties and prevent static electricity accumulation.
✓ Environmentally Friendly Production and Recyclability
New generation carpet tiles are produced with environmental sustainability principles. Contributes to indoor air quality thanks to recycled yarn (Econyl®), PVC-free backing systems and low VOC emissions. Suitable for international certification projects such as LEED, WELL, BREEAM.
Carpet Tile Layered Structure and Technical Features
Carpet tile performance depends on its multi-layered structure. A typical carpet tile consists of the following sections:
1. Fiber (Surface Fiber Layer)
Forms the visible top surface of the carpet tile. The yarn type used in this layer determines the carpet's texture, softness, brightness and durability. Nylon yarn carpet tiles have high resistance to deformation and crushing. Polypropylene types are ideal for economical solutions.
2. Primary Backing
The first carrier layer that fixes the fiber yarns. Usually synthetic fabric reinforced with polyester or glass fiber. This layer provides structural integrity to the carpet.
3. Bonding Layer
Provides adhesion between fiber and backing. Produced with latex, polyurethane or thermoplastic resins. This layer maintains structural integrity of the carpet and ensures long life.
4. Reinforcement Layer
Provides load distribution, maintains tile form. Stability is maximized in double-layer or glass fiber reinforced systems.
5. Backing Layer
The layer that contacts the floor. Can be bitumen, PVC or PU backed depending on production purpose. Slip resistance, flexibility and moisture resistance are provided by this layer.

Carpet Tile Flooring Application Process
1️⃣ Subfloor Preparation and Measurement
Before starting carpet tile application, subfloor must be properly prepared. Floor surface should be smooth, dry and clean. If there is dust, oil, mortar residue or loose particles on the surface, it must be cleaned.
- Floor flatness control and screeding process
- Moisture measurement (should be below 5% on concrete floor)
- Surface cleaning and dust removal
- Area measurement and material calculation
- Laying plan and pattern direction determination
2️⃣ Adhesive Application
After the placement plan is completed, adhesive application is done to fix carpet tiles to the floor. At this stage, modular carpet adhesive specially produced for carpet tile applications or low-adhesive systems (tape, grid adhesive) are preferred.
- Special modular carpet adhesive selection
- Homogeneous and thin layer application
- Low-adhesive tape system (removable and installable)
- Grid adhesive technique (economical and practical)
3️⃣ Laying and Roller Pressing
After adhesive application, carpet tiles begin to be placed carefully. Each tile should be placed according to the determined laying direction and pattern plan.
- Tile placement according to direction arrows
- Edge alignment and seamless laying
- Pressing process with roller
- Elimination of air gaps
- Final check and cleaning
4️⃣ Cutting and Detail Works
Precision cutting operations are performed at corners, columns, doors and stair edges. Carpet tiles fit perfectly to the floor with special cutting tools and professional appearance is provided.
Carpet Tile Flooring Maintenance
🧹 Daily Maintenance Recommendations
- Regular vacuuming: Dust and dirt should be removed with daily or every other day vacuuming
- Spot cleaning: Fresh stains should be wiped immediately with damp cloth
- Traffic control: Mat usage in high traffic areas
- Furniture protectors: Felt usage under heavy furniture
🔧 Periodic Maintenance
- Every 3-6 months: Deep cleaning with professional carpet washing machine
- Stain removal: Intervention with special stain removers
- Renewal: Replacement of damaged tiles (modular advantage)
- Rotation: Load distribution with tile change in high traffic areas
💡 Professional Maintenance Advantages
Thanks to modular structure, only problematic tiles are replaced, providing 40-60% savings in the long term. No need to renew the entire floor.
You can make a maintenance contract for professional maintenance service, benefit from regular cleaning and inspection service.
