When you are deciding on a carpet for your home or commercial space, there are different types of carpet that you can opt for. More often than not, you will need to decide between wall to wall carpets or carpet tiles.
Here at Insta Carpet, we specialise in commercial and residential carpet laying, with experienced carpet layers who can install various types of carpet for you.
So, when it comes to carpet tiles vs wall to wall carpets, what is the difference between them and which one should you pick?
Carpet Tiles
Carpet tiles are squares of carpet that can be combined with other carpet tiles. They come with attached backing, meaning that they can easily be mounted to the subfloor with ease. There’s no need to cut them as you would with a carpet roll which makes installation quick and simple, with minimal waste.
Wall To Wall Carpet
Wall to wall carpets are the traditional form of carpet that are available, also known as broadloom carpets. These are what people often refer to when they use the term ‘carpets’. Wall to wall carpets are available in large rolls, designed for a seamless finish.
Despite their name, they aren’t necessarily used for ‘wall to wall’ cover, but they can be used for large scale patterns. If you are looking for versatile designs and excellent plush quality, wall to wall carpet is a great choice.
