The flexibility of use of carpet tile

Mannington’s Jones said technology and community are blurring the lines that previously defined corporate workspaces, allowing for various types of work in a number of places, which lends to the flexibility of use of carpet tile. “It’s [still] a definite fit for corporate, but we’re seeing it used more in traditional broadloom markets like K-12 and areas of healthcare.” In corporate spaces, patterns such as those in the company’s Redefined Collection, which will be introduced at NeoCon, “can be used to emphasize the energy of a marketing area or the sophisticated quiet of a boardroom, with appealing transitional and way-finding cues between. But each pattern, or an integrated mix, is well-suited to retail, higher education, hospitality and healthcare.”

Baucom said from its inception, carpet tile made sense for many functional reasons. “It is easier than broadloom to move in a freight elevator. Modular flooring makes sense in modular workspaces. Individual carpet tiles are easy to replace.”
