Featured Product Categories for Carpet Tiles for Kids' Rooms

Customers use our carpet tiles for a kids' room in a variety of ways around the house or at a commercial facility.

For Playrooms

Our playroom carpet tiles are durable enough to stand up to any rambunctious behavior that children can throw at them. They resist staining if kids spill food or beverages on the floor of the playroom. Multiple products offer mix-and-match color options, letting you and your kids show off your design skills.

For Bedrooms

Carpeting is a traditional flooring for a bedroom, offering warmth and comfort for activities like lying on the floor and reading a book, using an iPad, or taking a nap with the family dog. You can select among several different colors that can complement your furniture.

For Schools and Daycares

Schools, daycare facilities, indoor playgrounds, and churches can all benefit from our kids carpet tiles. The tiles don’t require glue, so they can be picked up and reinstalled whenever needed for different activities in the facilities.

Educational Carpet Tiles

Educational carpet tiles are ideal for schools and daycares. They showcase artwork to help kids learn their colors, letters, numbers, and more. Some products use the graphics and colors to simply make the learning environment more vibrant and fun.

How to Choose the Best Kids Carpet Tiles

If you’re unsure which kids carpet tiles to select for your home or facility, our customer service experts are happy to provide advice. You can also use the following tips to help you narrow down your options.

Consider the Room

Think about how the children use the room where the carpet squares will go. A playroom needs more durable carpeting than a bedroom, where comfort and softness are essential features.

In a retail or professional setting, such as a daycare, a children’s museum, or a classroom, you’ll want children’s carpet tiles that offer a lot of color and vibrancy to make kids excited to attend class and play with their friends. In a busy facility, they need to stand up to constant foot traffic while being easy to clean and maintain.

These kids carpet tiles also work for indoor playground facilities. The Kids Can Be Kids facility used our products to create safe flooring for children, while using multiple colors to keep the energy up.

Choose the Installation Type

At Greatmats, we focus on kids carpet tiles that are easy for DIY installations.

• Interlocking: Many of our most popular options have interlocking, puzzle-style edges that are easy to install. You can then disassemble them whenever you need to return to the original subfloor.
  
• Peel and stick: For a semi-permanent installation, use peel-and-stick tiles to adhere them to a firm subfloor. The peel-and-stick carpet tiles are easier to remove later than if you use carpet adhesive.
  
• Floating: Floating carpet tiles sit on top of a plastic base. The interlocking system is part of the plastic base, meaning the carpet tiles have flat edges that provide a clean look in the final layout.

Selecting the Right Cushioning

Many of our children’s carpet squares have a foam layer attached to the backside of the square, combining carpeting and foam in one piece. This saves time versus installing a roll of foam followed by a roll of carpeting.

We have several styles of carpet tiles with thick, plush carpet fibers that are comfortable for sitting and playing. They feel soft when walking barefoot in a bedroom, too.
