When it comes to flooring options, the choice between carpet tiles and sheet flooring is often a significant decision, particularly for spaces like offices, some commercial buildings and even residential areas especially in care homes or social housing for example. While sheet flooring has been a popular choice since the 70s, carpet tiles are increasingly lauded for their versatility, sustainability and most of all their practicality. One standout product in this category is the Tarkett Airmaster Sphere range of carpet tiles. Particularly this one that is probably the most practicle of all of them the Tarkett Airmaster Sphere AD21 9032 carpet tile

• Superior Air Quality Improvement

One of the most significant benefits of Tarkett Airmaster Sphere carpet tiles is their impact on indoor air quality because these tiles are designed with a patented technology that captures and retains fine dust particles, making them eight times, yes you read that correctly, 8 times more effective than smooth floors and four times more effective than standard carpet in improving air quality. This is so important in modern office environments where air quality can significantly affect employee health and productivity. Let’s face it everyone seems to be ill these days and no-one wants to go into the office so every little helps, as they say. Unlike sheet flooring, which can sometimes exacerbate dust and allergen problems, these carpet tiles actively contribute to a cleaner, healthier indoor environment.

• Environmental Benefits and Sustainability

Sustainability is a crucial factor in today’s DEI, health and safety obsessed socially progressive utopia we are living in and evenm flooring decisions are not immune. Carpet tiles offer distinct advantages over sheet flooring. One of the standout features of the Tarkett Airmaster Sphere tiles is their updated EcoBase backing, which is 100% recyclable and contains up to 91% recycled and bio-based content. Yes, this commitment to reducing the carbon footprint is further emphasized by the tiles’ Cradle to Cradle Silver level certification, a marketing buzzword win there I think, ensuring they meet  the very high standards of environmental and human health.

Another very significant advantage of carpet tiles is their replaceability. If a section of the floor becomes damaged or stained, you can simply replace the affected tiles and throw the bad ones away or ideally recycle them, rather than having to remove and replace the entire floor as you would with sheet flooring. Of course this reduces waste but also saves time and money, making carpet tiles a more environmentally and economically sustainable option. In the future perhaps every floor requiring carpet will instead have a carpet tile and this probably should be mandated at internaional level governed by the WHO, the WEF and maybe even the United Nations.

• Design Versatility and Aesthetic Appeal

Tarkett Airmaster Sphere tiles are available in a range of nine accent colors and 9 neutral shades, allowing for creative design possibilities that can complement any interior. ANd a little more marketing waffle! Their handmade, rustic feel and tonal grid-like texture add warmth and depth to spaces, bridging the aesthetic gap between the linear and organic. Unlike sheet flooring, which often limits design flexibility (great prose!), carpet tiles can be mixed and matched to create unique patterns and layouts, adding a personalized touch to any environment. If indeed carpet tiles can really ever be personalized.

• Practicality and Ease of Maintenance

Carpet tiles like those from Tarkett or Burmatex offer practical benefits that are hard to match with sheet flooring. Installation is straightforward, but still we advise getting a competent professional carpet tiling company to install them or if you have a lot to do maybe hire some flooring professionals and use something like Profinda booking engine to make sure they go to the client when they are supposed to. That said as the tiles are modular and can be laid down or replaced without disrupting the entire space it’s not rocket science to fit them. Additionally, the modular nature of carpet tiles makes them easier to clean and maintain. In case of spills or stains, only the affected tiles need attention, as opposed to the extensive cleaning or replacement required with sheet flooring.
