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 7: Measure for the edge sections of tile. When you get to the edges of the floor, you will probably have to cut some of the tiles to fit between the last row of full-sized carpet tiles and the wall. Slip a carpet tile, face down, under the last tile in the row. Make sure that the tile is snug against the wall. The arrows on the tile’s backside should face the same direction as the tile next to it so the pattern remains the same. Using the edge of this adjoining carpet tile, make a mark on the bottom on either side of the tile to be cut. Mark the bottom of the edge tile where it will be cut.
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.
