To install rectangle carpet tiles, first calculate how many tiles you need. Remove furniture and clean the subfloor. Mark the center of the room. Acclimate the tiles at room temperature for 24-48 hours. Lay the tiles with arrows aligned, cut them as needed, and use adhesive to secure them for a fresh, updated look.
Next, begin in the center of the room. This approach allows for a more balanced design. Place the first tile on the floor and press it down firmly. Use the utility knife to trim any tiles around edges and corners. Once the center is complete, continue laying tiles outward to the walls, applying adhesive as needed.
After all tiles are laid, allow the adhesive to dry according to manufacturer’s instructions. Lastly, trim any excess material at the edges for a clean finish.
For an enhanced aesthetic and durability, you might consider adding a rug pad underneath. Follow our upcoming section for guidance on maintaining your new carpet tiles and maximizing their lifespan. This will ensure your investment remains in excellent condition for years to come.
