Carpet Tile Sizes: A Quick Guide (Melbourne)
What size are carpet tiles? This short guide from Dex Flooring covers the common carpet tile sizes and shapes so you can plan your Melbourne floor and work out how many tiles you need.
The common carpet tile sizes
- 50 × 50 cm (500 × 500 mm) — the classic square, and by far the most common. Four tiles make one square metre.
- Carpet planks (25 × 100 cm) — long, narrow tiles for a timber-plank look. See carpet plank.
- Large-format (60 × 60 cm / 600 × 600 mm) — bigger squares, fewer seams, a cleaner look. See large-format carpet tiles.
- 96 × 96 cm — extra-large tiles used in some ranges for big open floors.
How many tiles do you need?
For 50 × 50 cm tiles, you need 4 tiles per square metre. Measure the room’s length × width in metres, multiply for the area, then add about 5–10% for cuts and spare tiles. Not sure? We measure for you at the free quote and confirm the exact count — no over- or under-ordering.
Which size should you choose?
50 × 50 is the safe all-rounder and gives the most design flexibility. Planks suit a modern, linear look; large-format gives a smoother, less “tiled” finish. All are modular, so single-tile replacement works whatever the size.
