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 4: Lay tiles in an XY pattern. Temporary lay a set of tiles to form the X and Y axes of the room, using the chalk lines as guidelines. This baseline row should be tightly aligned to the edges of the X and Y lines. Stand at the main entrance of the room to see if the pattern needs adjusting. Shift the baseline tiles to avoid any awkward rows. Adjust the pattern if necessary.
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.
