They are cheap in price, easy to install, durable, long lasting, and a great DIY money saving  project for most everybody including home owners , and small business owners.

I know you’re thinking what carpet tile could have to do with your home theater system. Just imagine having your system set up inside a cathedral: a large open room with surfaces that don’t absorb a single sound wave. Can you imagine what the quality of the sound might be? Think of the amount of reverb that would be coming back at you. You wouldn’t even be able to understand the dialogue in a movie. Now think about what materials are in a cathedral: stone, wood, glass, brick, etc. Look around your living room and what do you see? More than likely you are seeing the same types of building materials. Unfortunately, most homes aren’t constructed with the home theater system in mind.

Now you are wondering how you can use carpet tiles to your benefit. Carpet tiles are the perfect thing to provide acoustic flooring in your home theater. The sounds coming from your theater system will be absorbed, and this will diminish any potential reverb or echo that bounces from the floor to your ears. This is especially beneficial for front speakers

Residential carpet tiles are very affordable and easy to install. If you have an unfinished basement, they are a cheap and easy way to provide a floor with the best acoustic properties. Your basement may be the best option for a home theater. Imagine a room in the house perfectly tuned for your theater system, and carpet tiles are the perfect sound insulation. You could crank up Lord of the Rings or AC/DC as loud as you want. You could even completely soundproof a room by tiling the walls. This may be especially helpful if you have neighbors close by, or if you keep different hours than the other people in your house.

Additionally, If you are a musician, carpet tiles would be the perfect sound insulation for a practice space or studio. Recording equipment, especially top of the line microphones, are very sensitive to natural reverb. Carpet tiles are the perfect solution to provide a better acoustic environment. And they will keep sound from escaping into adjacent rooms. You could play the drums and not wake the baby.

So whether you are a home theater buff, a musician, or just someone looking to maximize the acoustic efficiency of their personal space, carpet tiles are the answer. Search the Focus Floors website for different styles and colors of carpet tiles and see what you can come up with. They just might be the perfect answer for your flooring and acoustic needs.

• The first thing you need to do is determine your pattern. You need to first decide what tile will be in the middle of the room. Once you have determined which tile will be the focal point the real work begins.
• Measure the length of each wall and take half of this number to determine the middle of wall. Pencil in a mark in the center of each wall.
• Next, measure one side of the tile and divide that in half to find the center of the tile. Line the center of the tile up with the center of the wall, and mark the wall on each end of the tile. Repeat this process on all of the walls.
• After you have completed all of your marks, line up a chalk line from one tile marker to the one directly across the room. Snap a chalk line for each. This will create a crosshair in which to place your center tile.
• From here all you need to do is line up tiles from the center toward the outside edges of the room. Do not remove the adhesive backing just yet. You can experiment with different color patterns at this point for as long as it takes to find the one that best fits the room. Once you have determined the pattern, installing carpet tiles is as easy as removing the adhesive backing and smoothing out the tiles. All that is left is to trim the squares against the wall.
• For this last step in carpet tile installation you need a razor and a straight edge (a ruler or carpenter’s square if handy). Turn the carpet tile over and line up the edge with the wall. Make a mark on the back of the tile where it overlaps the next to last row of tiles. Use the straight edge and razor to cut the tile at this line. Check the fit of the tile in the space, and determine if it fits. Once you get a good fit, remove the adhesive strip and smooth out the remaining tile.
• There you have it, the least difficult and least time consuming carpet installation ever.

Recently, carpet tiles have expanded into the area rug category. This latest emerging trend is popular with loft and apartment owners who use carpet tiles to create sophisticated, sectional space with carpet tile.

Design Flexibility
Consumers use their own imagination to create their various patterns and colors. Some patterns lend themselves to even more creativity by their ability to be quarter turned (the tiles have directional arrows on the back) creating greater depth through this planned shade variation.

Carpet tiles can be used over most smooth hard surfaces including particle board, hardwood, concrete, laminate or vinyl flooring and ceramic tile. They have a skid resistant durable and pliable back so no padding is required. All that is needed for a do-it-yourself project is a chalk line, straight edge, sharp utility knife and either double sided tape or pressure sensitive adhesive which can be applied to the backing with a small sponge brush.

Carpet tiles, originally introduced in the 1960’s were not as well constructed as they are today. They did not wear as well and weren’t as easy to clean. Color and pattern selections were mundane. They have dramatically changed the look and performance.
Focus Floors offers three basic size tiles: 18”x18” tiles, 24”x 24” tiles and 36”x36” tiles. However, some tiles are now being offered in rectangular panels 24”x36”. Their durable face fiber is literally fused into a tough but flexible backing, this eliminates any unraveling edges.

These densely constructed, low profile ¼” – 3/8” thick tiles weigh approximately 1 pound per square foot depending on the face weight and backing of each style. So they are heavy enough to hug the floor.

Carpet tiles are easy to clean or replace. Vacuum or simply remove the soiled tile and wash the mild detergent in a sink or tub. Tiles may also be rotated from higher traffic areas to lower traffic areas to maximize wear and improve appearance.

You can always contact Focus Floors for more information and carpet tile samples.

Once, you have recycled content to go back into new products you are only able to reintroduce 20-30% recycled content with 70-80% new raw materials. This is the main reason for expanding the number of new products that can use a percentage of recycled content. Besides a wider range of products there has become a need to develop lighter weight products that still have the same wear or performance capability as a older version that was heavier because it used more raw materials. This process is working and thanks to improved product development less is proving it can be best. Processes that offer the consumer lighter but stronger features are a key to maximizing the use of recycled content.

Focus Floors is constantly looking at ways to reduce their impact on the land air and water.
