How Thick Are Commercial Carpet Squares?
Commercial carpet squares are designed to be extra rugged and durable, making them suitable for use in a business that sees lots of traffic. While these tiles are durable, they are also designed to be thin enough to make a seamless addition to an existing space.
Commercial carpet tiles are available in thicknesses ranging from 3 mm all the way up to ¼ inch or more. These thinner dimensions allow you to lay the squares on top of your existing floor while still fitting flush against door jams and allowing doors to swing freely.
The result is that you won’t have to rework elements of your office to accommodate a thick carpet tile. You can quickly and easily install the tiles without taking on additional work and expenses.
Though these carpet squares are relatively thin, they still have the strength that you need in a commercial setting. They’re made from top-quality, highly durable materials and they feature elements like mildew and UV resistance to ensure the tiles last and you get the most out of your investment.
