Carpet tile can fix anything.
Modular tile for offices, corridors, libraries and exhibit space — replaceable square by square, installed in phases so the floor never closes.
Carpet tile changed how commercial carpet is shipped, installed, maintained and repaired. Today it comes in squares, planks and specialty shapes with a nearly unlimited range of colors, patterns and layouts.
Before modular carpet took hold, commercial installations relied on broadloom — rolls manufactured in 12- and 15-foot widths that crews had to move and position through offices, schools and hotels. Modular tile solved that. Individual pieces move easily through a building, open up design options broadloom can't match, and let a damaged area be replaced without pulling an entire room.
How commercial carpet tile is made
Carpet tile combines the carpet face with an engineered backing built for dimensional stability. Depending on manufacturer and product, backings incorporate vinyl, thermoplastics, fiberglass reinforcement and other composites.
Manufacturers produce tile in squares, rectangular planks and specialty geometric shapes. The combination of color, shape, size, pattern and installation direction gives designers real freedom — a single product line can produce a dozen different floors depending on how it's laid.
Why carpet tile works in commercial buildings
The biggest advantage is repairability. When a section is stained or damaged, individual tiles can be pulled and replaced without touching the rest of the floor. For that reason we recommend clients keep attic stock from the original installation.

Carpet tile works well in commercial offices, healthcare facilities, schools and universities, hotels and hospitality, libraries and institutional buildings.
Louisville commercial carpet tile experience
Trade Mark Floors has installed commercial carpet tile throughout Louisville, Kentucky, and the surrounding region, including Southern Indiana.
Our work includes the University of Louisville School of Nursing, the University of Louisville Ekstrom Library, Creation Gardens and The Filson Historical Society, along with many other commercial projects.
Our crews work with traditional squares, planks, specialty patterns and complex layouts — including ashlar, quarter-turn, monolithic and random installations where the pattern has to carry across an entire floor plate without a visible break.
