This really depends on how large the area is and what it will be used for. Hence, we would always recommend using carpet tackifier adhesive/double sided tape for all commercial applications. So where members of the public will be walking over. As simply loose laying, unless in a temporary situation, would not be appropriate.

Most noteworthy, always use an adhesive which is specially designed for use with carpet tiles. Hence, do not use carpet spray adhesive as this will permanently fix your tiles to the floor and the whole point of carpet is that you can lift, clean or replace in the future as and when required. Therefore a carpet tile tackifier adhesive, double sided tape or a low tack version of the spray adhesive is the right adhesive for the job. Lastly, please make sure to follow the instructions on any adhesive to make sure the desired results are achieved.

Definitely do not use any bleach products as this will for sure stain the pile and will soak through to the bitumen backing and melt it. A damp cloth can be used with a tiny amount of washing up liquid to remove stubborn stain or an appropriate carpet cleaner. We have known customers to run wet cleaning machines over and one lady once swore by putting them in her washing machine which she said kept them looking ‘like new’. Although we definitely wouldn’t recommend this. If you want to run a wet and dry vacuum over then we advise testing on a very small area first. In order to check that no serious damage will be done before doing the whole area as every machine is different.

Yes, carpet are great for pets. Any accidents that will inevitably end up happening mean that one or two single tiles can be lifted and simply cleaned. If you do not want to clean then make sure you have a few spare and drop them in and discard the dirty ones. We tend to find that loop pile tiles are best steered away from as they can catch in claws and pull up. Either use smooth pile tiles like a cut pile or if not then our hobnail ones work pretty well in this environment.

Yes they can, however there’s again a difference between damp floors, sweaty floors that condensate and rising damp. We recommend that you should always seek professional advice. In these types of situations before attempting to mask any damp issues covering over with a few carpet. This can be unsafe depending on the level of damp occurring. Without us seeing the area in person you cannot really advise anyone the best course of action so call a specialist or contractor first.
