Floor carpet tiles are modular carpet squares, usually 50 by 50 cm, that cover a floor like a patchwork and can be replaced one at a time, which makes them popular in offices, shops, schools and homes. Prices run from about PKR 120 to PKR 400 per square foot. This page covers modular carpet squares for offices, shops and homes, pile types and backing, loose-lay and glued fitting, noise and comfort, stain care, rates and replacing damaged tiles. It also covers office carpet tiles searches. For related pages see carpets and rugs, rugs and runners and raised floor.
Pile types and backing
Loop pile is tough and hides wear in offices, cut pile feels softer and suits homes and meeting rooms. Backing of bitumen or PVC adds weight and stability, so tiles stay flat without glue in many cases.
Indicative rates
These ranges show common retail figures before fitting.

Prices move with brand, model, size and stock. Use these ranges to judge a quote, then compare the exact model and what is included.
Loose-lay and glued fitting
Heavy backed tiles can be loose-laid with tabs, which allows easy lifting for raised floors, while glued tiles suit busy shops with trolleys. Start from the centre and keep pile direction consistent or deliberate.
Noise and comfort
Carpet tiles absorb footstep and room noise, which helps open offices and reception areas. They feel warmer than hard floors and add comfort for standing staff.
Stain care
Vacuum often, blot spills quickly and use a mild carpet cleaner. Stain-resistant fibres help in offices. A damaged tile can be swapped, which is the main advantage.
Replacing damaged tiles
Keep 5 percent spare tiles from the same batch, and mark pile direction. Lift a damaged tile, clean the spot and fit a new one. Batch shades can differ, so do not rely on reordering later.
Installation
The floor must be clean, dry and level. Installation should be done by a trained flooring fitter, with the subfloor checked for level, dryness and strength first.
Before you decide
Choose pile and backing for the traffic, keep spares and lay on a clean dry floor. Measure each room and add 8 to 10 percent for cuts and waste, compare at least two quotes on the same product, thickness, wear layer and fitting scope, and keep the invoice and warranty card. Ask for a sample you can test in your own light and keep a spare box or two from the same batch for repairs. Check that the subfloor is level, dry and clean before work starts, agree stage payments, and inspect the finished floor in daylight before paying the final instalment. Prices change with material costs, exchange rates and stock, so confirm the current figure before you decide.
