How Big Are Carpet Tiles For Basement Floors?

There are many different styles and types of carpet tiles for basement floor settings. While they all have qualities making them suitable for environmental factors of a basement, they do vary when it comes to size and thickness. Deciding on which size of carpet tile to install in a home basement really depends on how big the space is in which it will be, how fast and easy you want to install it, and what type of look or design you’re going for.

Greatmats has numerous carpet tiles for basement floor applications, from modular carpet tiles that are 1 foot by 1 foot to comfort carpet tiles that are roughly 2 feet by 2 feet! Here, we will discuss the following 6 popular carpet tiles for basement floor installations that are available at Greatmats.

Style Smart Riverside Carpet Tiles - 18x18 Inches

Style Smart Riverside Carpet Tiles are 18 inches by 18 inches. They are 3 mm thick and weigh only 0.25 pounds per tile.

This carpet tile is made in the USA and can truly be installed in minutes with an easy peel-and-stick installation. Unlike traditional plush carpet with an open-cell foam underlayment, dampness does not cause a spot or stain to appear, as the seepage will likely never reach the carpeting and doesn’t have any padding to soak into.

Modular Carpet Squares - 1x1 Foot

Modular Carpet Squares are also 1 foot by 1 foot. This product has a thickness of 9/16 inches and weighs about 1 pound.

This product is also good for a damp basement with its raised design and mildew-resistant qualities. It is made from recycled materials, and it features a carpet top with a berber texture. It is manufactured to handle high roll loads with its quality construction and is perfect for cold basement floors, as the tiles reduce transmission of cold temperatures from the subfloor through the carpet by way of the layer of air in between.

These carpet tiles are easy to snap together without padding or adhesive. It’s also equally as easy to remove the tiles for temporary installations or to check subfloors when needed.

Intellect Commercial Carpet Tiles- 2x2 Feet

Intellect Commercial Carpet Tiles are 2 feet by 2 feet. They are each 2.3 mm thick and weigh roughly a pound and a half each.

This carpet flooring is great if your basement is a high-traffic area, as it is Class 1 fire rated and super easy to clean and maintain. The tiles are easy to install with pressure-sensitive latex carpet glue, and once installed, they present excellent wear resistance, performance level, durability, and endurance, even under constant use and abuse.

This low-cost nylon carpet tile is made in the USA and will deliver optimum quality and dependability.

Royal Interlocking Carpet Tile - 2x2 Feet

Royal Interlocking Carpet Tiles are also 2 feet by 2 feet. They are ⅝ inch thick and weigh about 1.5 pounds.

This product is among the best and most versatile modular carpet tiles at Greatmats. It is very durable and has numerous benefits, including ease of installation. It can easily be placed directly on a clean, hard surface floor without using special tools, adhesive, or additional padding. It’s a great one to install where spills, leaks, or other accidents are likely, as it is waterproof and stain-resistant.
