Loose Lay vs. Self-Adhesive Carpet Tiles

Why Choose Loose Lay Carpet Tiles?

At CarpetTilesOutlet, we exclusively offer high-quality loose lay carpet tiles from the brand Interface. Our entire stock comes directly from the Interface factory and is always delivered new and boxed.

What Are Loose Lay Carpet Tiles?

Loose lay carpet tiles are designed to be laid directly on the subfloor without glue or adhesives. They stay in place thanks to their weight and a special non-slip backing. This makes them ideal for both temporary and permanent flooring – from offices and hotels to public buildings and living rooms.

Benefits of Loose Lay Carpet Tiles

Easy installation: no glue or special tools required.
Flexibility: tiles can easily be removed and repositioned – perfect for moves or redesigns.
Low maintenance: damaged or dirty tiles can be replaced individually.
Durability: made from high-quality materials for intensive use.
Sound absorption: reduces noise – ideal for offices or call centers.

Disadvantages of Self-Adhesive Carpet Tiles

While self-adhesive carpet tiles may seem convenient to install, they come with several downsides:

Difficult to remove: may damage the subfloor.
Limited reusability: often cannot be reused after removal.
Not suitable for underfloor heating: adhesive layers often don't tolerate heat well.
Inconsistent quality: varying adhesive strength can cause tiles to lift over time.

Accessories for Optimal Installation

To get the best results from your loose lay carpet tiles, we offer several helpful accessories:

Anti-slip underlays: provide extra grip and make installation quicker.
TacTiles: small, one-sided adhesive squares to connect tiles together without glue on the floor.
Double-sided tape: ideal for added security in high-traffic areas such as doorways or under radiators.

All accessories are available in our webshop and easy to order with your tiles.
