Carpet tiles, also known as carpet squares or modular carpeting, are easily installed side-by-side to create a smooth, carpeted floor that looks just like wall-to-wall carpeting.
Step 6: Build out the tiles toward the walls. Continue to build out the tiles toward the four walls. Bring each new tile tightly up against a tile on the X and Y axes. While holding the tiles tightly together, place an adhesive dot sticky side up on the floor and press the tiles firmly down on the adhesive dots. Each adhesive dot will join four carpet tiles on each adjoining corner. The adhesive is designed to allow you to pull the tiles apart if you make a mistake. The adhesive bond actually gets stronger after a few hours.
Each dot joins a corner of four adjoining tiles.
Follow all the safety instructions included with your new carpet tiles. Handle the utility knife used for trimming carpet tiles with great care and always cut away from your body.
