Hint: it involves cleaning & maintenance.
A recent article in CleanLink magazine points out that installing carpet tiles (as opposed to larger rolls) in commercial facilities, once considered a major headache, is now potentially a smart solution for airports, colleges, hotel chains, retail stores, arenas, and other similar venues. Why? A few reasons…
- They’re easy to install, maintain, and replace. If a tile is stained, one can just replace that modular square.
- Multiple design options and plenty of colors, patterns & textures are available.
- They’re more durable than in the past, thanks to new tech and better manufacturing.
- They’re easier to transport as squares in boxes than rolls of carpet.
In terms of cleaning, all it takes is a regular vacuuming routine, spot treatments for stains, and an annual or semi-annual deep clean. And regular and effective cleaning increases the life of carpet tiles.
As for replacing a damaged tile, if the new one stands out, you can rotate your tiles, or simply wait until it blends in with the others.
There will always be a need for traditional carpets, but modular carpet tiles are becoming a viable alternative for commercial settings. They brighten up a space, and they make cleaning and maintenance easy for maintenance staff.
