I want a durable easy to maintain floor for my kids playroom in the basement.  At work we have carpet tiles, are these suitable for my basement?

 

Great question, yes carpet tiles provide a very durable floor and their construction make them ideal for your application.  Carpet tiles are easy to install, provide a warm, softer floor yet are durable enough to handle wear and tear and are easily replaceable.  They come in a variety of colors, textures and patterns which can be mixed up to create unique designs.  They offer a contemporary look suitable for anywhere in the home.  There are a variety of installation methods.  They of course work exceptionally for home offices as well.  They are easily maintained and offer stain protection in most cases, perfect for kids activities.  A few extra tiles purchased will ensure they are handy if replacement of a tile or section is ever required.  Be creative.  Mix them up for unique looks in your rooms.
