COMMERCIAL CARPET TILES FAQ
Commercial Carpet Tiles FAQs
Answers to common questions about choosing, designing, installing and maintaining commercial carpet tiles in Melbourne.
What are commercial carpet tiles?
Commercial carpet tiles are individual modular carpet sections, commonly supplied in square formats. Installers arrange the tiles to create a complete carpeted floor.
Are carpet tiles suitable for offices?
Yes. Suitable commercial carpet tiles can work well in offices, meeting rooms, reception areas and shared workspaces. However, the selected product should match the expected traffic and use.
What is the difference between carpet tiles and carpet planks?
Carpet tiles commonly use a square format, while carpet planks have a longer rectangular shape. Both are modular flooring systems, but they offer different layouts and visual effects.
Can individual carpet tiles be replaced?
Yes. Individual damaged or heavily worn carpet tiles can often be replaced without changing the entire floor, provided suitable matching material is available.
Should I keep spare carpet tiles?
Yes, where practical. Keeping spare tiles from the original installation can simplify future repairs. Production batches may vary slightly in colour.
Can carpet tiles be installed over concrete?
Yes. Suitable commercial carpet tiles can be installed over a properly prepared concrete substrate. However, check the surface condition, flatness, moisture and manufacturer requirements first.
Does the subfloor need preparation?
It may. Depending on the existing floor, preparation can include removing old adhesive, patching, grinding or levelling.
How are commercial carpet tiles installed?
Installation requirements depend on the selected product. Installers should follow the manufacturer's approved adhesive, layout and installation system.
Are carpet tiles good for acoustic comfort?
Carpet generally provides a softer acoustic environment than many hard-floor surfaces. However, acoustic performance varies between products, backing systems and substrates.
Can different carpet tile colours be mixed?
Yes. Depending on the collection, different colours can be combined to create feature areas, pathways and defined zones within a commercial interior.
Are carpet tiles suitable for high-traffic areas?
Suitable commercial-grade carpet tiles can be used in high-traffic spaces. Always choose a product with specifications and commercial ratings suited to its intended use.
Are carpet tiles easier to repair than broadloom carpet?
They can be. Because carpet tiles are modular, damaged sections can often be replaced individually. Broadloom carpet repairs may require work across a larger section.

Yes. Dex Flooring supplies and professionally installs suitable commercial carpet tiles for projects across Melbourne.
