Qualities to Look for in Kids’ Carpet Tiles
The best kids’ carpet tiles will all share some similar characteristics.Soft, Cushioned Surface
Children will spend time crawling, sitting, and kneeling on the floor, and trips and falls are also bound to happen. Carpet tiles that are soft and cushioned can help to keep kids comfortable and safe.
The pile height of the carpet tile can affect its cushion. Look for a tile with a greater pile height, which will help to create a softer surface.
Many carpet tiles also incorporate foam, which offers additional shock absorption and cushion. Foam interlocking tiles are ideal for boys’ and girls’ rooms, thanks to the cushion they offer.
Stain Resistance
When you choose a tile that’s stain resistant, the spills and messes that occur in kids’ rooms won’t be a big deal. Stain-resistant tiles tend to be easy to clean, and you don’t have to worry about constantly watching for potential messes.
Modular Design
Choosing tiles that have a modular design can also be highly beneficial when kids are involved.
Even if you choose a stain resistant tile, it’s possible that the tile may become stained, worn, or damaged over time. When the tiles are modular, this isn’t a big problem.
With modular tiles, you can swap out a damaged tile without replacing the rest of the flooring. This capability makes it easy, fast, and cost-efficient to maintain the floor.
Great Color Assortment
Of course, colors also matter when it comes to kids’ carpet tiles. Bright, colorful tiles are just more fun, and kids are more likely to enjoy them.
Consider buying carpet tiles in multiple colors, which allows you to create fun patterns and designs for a truly unique and eye-catching look. You can even lay the tiles to create lines and areas used for games, making a room that’s interactive and designed just for kids.
