How to Connect Carpet Squares
Carpet squares, also known as modular carpeting, come in a variety of fiber styles including nylon, Olefin, wool and fiber blends. The squares are backed with a padding that offers cushion and support. Carpet squares are durable and ideal for both commercial and residential environments. They are easy to clean and maintain with methods used for cleaning traditional carpeting. The squares are connected with a glueless system that uses adhesive strips so no additional chemicals or adhesives are needed during the installation process. Does this Spark an idea?
