What Are The Best Attic Carpet Tiles?

Make the most of the space your home has to offer, including the space available in your attic. Cushy carpeted flooring tiles and mats offer great options for creating a cozy living area in non-traditional spaces. Attic carpet tiles solve many of the installation challenges that come with this space; they’re easy to maneuver around low, angled ceilings and tight staircases.

Attic carpet tiles can transform your space in several ways. They can help buffer sound, which is particularly helpful when kids are playing on the upper levels of the home. They’re also soft and comfortable underfoot, increasing your attic’s versatility beyond a space for storage.

How to Choose the Best Attic Carpet Tiles

Consider the following qualities when choosing attic carpet tiles.

Comfort


Think about how you plan to use your attic space. If it’s to be a playspace for kids, then providing maximum cushion and comfort is important. Look for a high pile carpet or a tile that includes an underlayment for extra cushion.

Color


Consider the type of look that you want your finished attic to have. Many carpet tiles are available in numerous color options, so chances are you can find a tile that matches your vision.

Durability


Think about the types of wear and tear the tiles will be exposed to. If you’re creating a play area for kids, then tiles with excellent stain resistance may be a good choice. If you have a very humid attic, then look for tiles that are waterproof and resistant to mold and mildew growth.

Ease of Installation


Attic carpet tiles tend to be easy to install, but consider the type of installation that works best for you. If you’re looking for a temporary installation, then tiles with puzzle-style edges can be a great choice, and the tiles can be easily removed again. Alternatively, you might consider a tile with a peel-and-stick backing if you’re looking for a more permanent, longer-lasting installation.
