Royal Interlocking Carpet Tile is a versatile and durable interlocking carpet that is perfect for a basement setting. It delivers the warmth and cushioned comfort that traditional carpet does.
The tops of these flooring squares have durable carpeting that is bonded to a soft closed foam base. The resulting carpet tile will stand up to foot traffic, furniture, and lots of use and play time. It’s waterproof and non-absorbent, so it helps to prevent the growth of unwanted mold, mildew, and bacteria. It also keeps odors at bay.
These interlocking carpet tiles can be installed directly on clean concrete or tile without using adhesive or an additional pad. The resulting floor is odor proof, easy to clean, and provides a comfortable surface on which to sit or stand. It offers anti-fatigue and insulation value similar to traditional carpet.

Modular Square Carpet Tiles are perfect for damp areas like basements. They have a raised modular design resulting in a floating floor with a carpeted top.
These carpet squares are simple to snap together for an installation without padding or adhesive. It’s also equally as easy to remove the tiles for temporary installations or to check subfloors. It’s a great choice for cold basement floors, because they reduce the transmission of cold from the subfloor through the carpet by way of the layer of air in between.
