Can Carpet Tiles Be Used As A Rug?

Carpet tiles can be used for multiple purposes, from serving as a full flooring solution to piecing some together to make an attractive, durable rug.

A carpet tile rug will likely be much easier to clean and maintain than a traditional area rug will, as carpet tiles are made to endure high traffic, heavy furniture, regular use, and more. Depending on the carpet tiles used, some are also designed to resist the growth of mold and mildew, resist water and moisture, and should a small section become damaged or stained, it will be easy to replace.

Of the many products available that would work to make a carpet tile rug, the following 5 are among some of the more popular choices:
