What to Look for in Game Room Carpet
Game room carpet with the following qualities will be best suited to use in these high-traffic spaces.
Durability
Game room flooring will face significant foot traffic, especially if installed in a commercial space like a bar. As a result, the flooring needs to be highly durable.
When looking for carpet, consider the manufacturer’s warranty. Many of the more durable commercial products are backed by a limited lifetime warranty, so you can buy in confidence, knowing that your investment is designed to last.
Stain Resistance
If you allow drinks and food in your game room, then sooner or later, they are bound to be spilled. Choosing a stain resistant carpet can maximize its lifespan and help to keep the floor looking its best.
Additionally, consider choosing modular carpet tiles so that you can easily replace one or two squares of carpet if they do become stained. You will save money over the cost of replacing an entire room of carpet, and can keep your game room looking its best.
Easy Maintenance
It’s also important that you can easily maintain the flooring that you choose. Look for a product that is easy to clean, and that you can use your existing equipment on.
A product that can tolerate the occasional use of carpet cleaning machinery makes your maintenance job easier, allowing for a deep clean whenever it’s needed.
Simple Installation
Consider the type of installation method that is best for your needs, too. Many modular carpet tiles offer DIY-friendly installations that are ideal for homes and commercial spaces.
If you will be installing the carpet in an area that could flood, like a basement, then modular carpet tiles are an excellent idea. With a waterproof modular carpet tile, you can remove and dry out the tiles if the space ever floods.
Design Options
Game rooms are traditionally full of bright colors and fun patterns, and many carpet squares allow you to continue this trend. You can choose from carpet tiles that already have printed patterns, or buy tiles in multiple colors so that you can create your own pattern.
You can also use carpet tiles to create a more reserved look that’s suitable for a game room in a bar or other space. You will find many tiles in blacks, greys, and other neutral tones that can fit right in with your decor.
Additional Features
Depending on where you’re installing your game room, you might want to choose a carpet with certain unique features. For example, if your room has many large windows, you might choose a product with UV light resistance, helping to ensure the carpet’s colors don’t fade.
In a commercial game room, you might find that a product with sound dampening properties is ideal. This type of flooring can make the room more enjoyable to use.
