Best tutorial I've found. I'm using carpet tiles to convert my garage to an office
Fantastic. Glad it helped. Honestly the most versatile flooring option out there 😊🛠️
Nice video brother. One tip I’ll offer is this: At the end of your videos you should ALWAYS give a call to action. If you have another video on a similar topic, direct them to it at the end of the video and place that video as your endscreen. This will keep more people on your channel and it will tremendously help to grow your channel. The content is solid. Good job man. Keep at it 👊🏼
Thank you. I really appreciate it. I will work on the call to action and end screens.
This is incredible!
4:25 That was slick….
Awesome. Thanks for watching my friend
Great video. Thanks for the tips and tricks. Has helped me make up my mind. 👍
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching 😊
Wow I think I can do this! Thanks😊
You can do it 🛠️🛠️👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for the video. I might be buying a cheap house soon to live in for a year or so and then rent out. May end up going this route. Never seen it done before, but it looks too easy. Thanks again.
I’m telling you it’s stupid easy as long as you’re going over a hard surface floor. Carpet tiles may not be for every situation but are great option. Good luck
@@RapidRepair oh yeah it looks that way. Thanks again.
Thanks for uploading! Do you know if the carpet squares can be installed over Interlocking Foam Exercise Floor Mats? That’s what’s down now and the extra padding would be nice.
I’m sure you can if you want to, However carpet tiles over such a squishy underlayment would likely cause the edges to tip up when walked on. You could purchase just 1 box and test it. Good luck.
@@RapidRepair I see what you mean, maybe a little too much give. Thanks for the upload and prompt reply. 🤙
Great video, thank you! Quick question - do you tuck the tiles under the baseboard (like traditional carpet) or have them butt up to them? It looks like you measured and cut to the baseboards. I couldn't tell if your baseboards were installed a little lower (than normal) because you were not going under. Cheers.
Great question. These baseboards are low so just butting the carpet up to it closed up nicely. No gaps. If your baseboards are too high sliding underneath would be nice and hopefully no gaps. This stuff is so easy to work with 🛠️🛠️
Appreciate the response! Thanks!@@RapidRepair
Great video. What type of carpet tile did you use?
Here’s the exact one!!

There are so many great options… if you don’t find one locally, they can even be ordered online too…
Do these hold on a concrete floor.. mine has a sealer on it with a little grit?
Yes I think you’ll be totally fine directly over concrete. Carpet tiles will never be as soft as traditional carpet with pad, but it has so many other advantages. It is worth it for sure.
Where do you get the sticky squares for the corners... name and where? ThxQQQQ
They were included in the cartons of carpet tiles. This exact one was purchased from Menards. Here is the link. Let me know if you have any other questions.

V Good!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi, just to confirm, the stickers are the only thing holding the carpet together and to the subfloor? There’s no additional adhesive needed or peal and stick on the back of the tiles? Thank you
That is correct. I have seen some carpet tiles with peel & stick backing. However, it’s not necessary with this one and most of them. This is technically a floating floor, the sticky tabs are literally only holding the corners down so when you vacuum and things like that, they don’t pop up. It works very good. We have not had any problems at all. Good luck 👍🏼🛠️
@@RapidRepairdo you need carpet padding under these tiles? I know you’re laying it right now but I wanted to double check :)
@@hannahwilson5325 these are designed to NOT use padding. Yes the final product is not soft. But very durable and easy to install. Easy to replace stained carpet tiles 😊🛠️🛠️
Can this tile be vacuumed with out the corners unsticking to the floor?
I’ve not seen a problem with vacuuming at all. They sell millions of carpet tiles per year. Although in commercial installs they use floor glue, not needed for residential 😊👍🏼
Do you think a moisture barrier would be needed under the carpet tile if their being installed in a basement?
I honestly don’t think so. Do you run a dehumidifier in the summer?
A moisture barrier test you can run is cut a square of plastic (like 2x2 foot) tape it securely down to the concrete floor. Check it in a few days if water droplets / condensation has formed under the plastic sheeting 🛠️🛠️
@@RapidRepair Good idea for a test! And yes I run a dehumidifier in the basement. Thanks for the response!
A lot cheaper than a calcium chloride test kit. Lmao good work man!!
Surely its better to use adhesive strip not tabs to ensure tiles keep snugly fitted?
This room is a home office and the carpet tiles are holding up great. You can’t even see the seams unless you’re trying to find them. It’s a great product and they all stay in place perfectly 😊. Now if it’s a super active child care center or something I’m not sure. 🤔
Can this be installed on top of ceramic tile?
YES. 100%. You will be happy with the results. Good luck
How good are the adhesives…how long does it last? When you vacuum does the squares move?
These carpet tiles require NO adhesive at all. So easy to use. No vacuum problems at all. The only obvious difference is it’s not as soft under foot as traditional carpet and pad. However in a lot of areas you want easy to clean and even replace individual carpet tiles if needed 🛠️🛠️
The longevity should be the same as traditional carpet
Free floating or sticky back?
These are totally free floating carpet tiles. So easy
I regret using the corner sticky tabs. My 2nd time around I used the releasable pressure sensitive adhesive and an very happy now
@@Alien-fv9gd what brand tape do you use?
Can I buy this product in Home Depot
Hello. This exact one isn’t at The Home Depot. However, they do carry carpet tiles in stock that are similar. This one is from Menards. 👍🏼🛠️
If my toddlers see the carpet can come up omg. I thought i would be able to atick it TO the subfloor... Now im worried
You absolutely can use carpet glue if you want to 🛠️🛠️
No glue 😮..vaccum will suck those up
Thanks for watching. This is how they are designed to work. This room has been vacuumed many times in the last 6 months with no indication of carpet problems. They still look brand new 👍🏼😊
What the hell man?… your not using GLUE first???
Glue isn’t recommended for this product. Residential carpet tiles. They are holding up great…no problems vacuuming, etc.
Glue down is a different product and may be more common in commercial and over concrete sub floors. Thanks for watching 😊🛠️🛠️
And a professional would do it properly,
