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 11: Make any additional special cuts. For tiles that will install around door moldings and similar features, cut the tile so it fits to the edge of the wall and then measure and cut out the indentation for the molding. Take the time to measure twice so you only have to cut once, and the carpet tile will drop right in place.
Measure twice and cut once to make the tile fits.
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.
