flor carpet tile owners

what do you think of them? love em? hate em?

love them. and so does my roomba.

I love it. Installed 350 square feet of wall to wall tiles over a concrete floor myself in about 1.5 days.
Make sure you have a sharp cutter if you are doing wall to wall. The edges were fairly easy but obviously more time consuming.

I love that you can pick up just one square for spot cleaining if needed and just stick it back in place.

Love them! I have 2 kids, 2 dogs and a spill prone husband, but you'd never know it from my carpet...

The real test came this summer when a problem with our evaporative cooler left dirty grease spots on the carpet.

Some dish soap, warm water and my thumbnail got the spots out. Even if it hadn't, I could have just replaced a few squares and had my new looking carpet back instead of having to replace a whole room.

love it. needed a runner for an extremely narrow hallway. got a gorgeous set of tiles from flor, removed the backing on the stickers, and voila. the customer service reps are also great with advice on what types work well where. can't wait to renovate my house so i can flor-ify it.

thanks for the feedback. is there sufficient padding? i received some samples and they seemed a little thin. also, regarding installation did you start in the center of the room and cut down the perimeter pieces or did you start in a corner?

Some styles are thicker and more padded than others.
I used morning coffee over concrete and it is very confortable. I remember that the walking on clouds sample was very thick and plush but it looked too much like traditional wall to wall for my taste.

For installation: I started at the corner and went as far as I could through the room with whole tiles (which were very easy to line up in a alternating pattern) before doing the two wall for which I needed to cut the tiles.

ok got it. how did you handle the baseboards? did butt the tiles up against them or tuck them underneath? thanks.

FLOR is a modular carpet flooring system that allows you to create your own rugs or wall-to-wall carpeting of any size. In addition to being made from recycled and renewable materials, the modular pieces result in less waste from cutting to size, and worn spots can be pulled up and replaced without replacing the entire carpet. Worn carpet pieces are accepted by the manufacturer for recycling and recycled back into new carpet.
