How to buy carpet tiles for a school?

So you’ve been tasked with buying carpet tiles for your School you work in, but where to start? This blog post is a guide on how to buy carpet tiles for your school.

What’s your budget?

One of the most important factors is establishing a budget. Can you afford the beautifully designed Interface carpet tiles without burning a hole in your pocket? Or are you looking for something more budget friendly that doesn’t skimp out on quality?

Let’s start with Nouveau Connections. The most affordable commercial carpet tile on our website. Great for hallways and classrooms. It may only be £1.89 but the quality cannot be faulted. There’s a choice of 10 colours, it’s made with Stainsafe material and it can be delivered next day. Perfecto.

Or are you looking for premium quality without the premium price tag? Stop right there because you’re going to like this. Desso Essence & Desso Essence Stripe are the iconic duo. If you’re after a more design led flooring on a budget these star pupils are what you’ve been searching for. They’re ideal for borders, walkways and feature areas.

Did the first two not tickle your pickle? Try Nouveau Futureproof. If you’re looking for a brightly coloured carpet tile for your school and can afford to push the boat out a bit in terms of budget, Nouveau Futureproof is the one for you. It’s bright, comes in a whopping 36 colours and has A-rated environmental credentials.

Do you need entrance matting?

You don’t want the young ones sitting on carpet tiles that leave indents in their legs for days and you also don’t want to use a thin, colourful carpet tiles as entrance matting because they’ll be filled with mud and worn down in no time - not what you need. So it’s important to get the right carpet tiles for different areas.

If you’re after flooring for your entrance but you’re on a tight budget, we recommend Nouveau Walkway Protect. It’s the perfect high performance and wear-resistant solution for any interior. At such a low price point, we suggest these durable and easy-to-clean polypropylene carpet tiles should go straight in your basket.

Burmatex offer some great heavy duty carpet tiles for an amazing price. No job is too big for the Burmatex Grimebuster because it was designed with open-plan spaces and large commercial environments in mind.

So you’ve narrowed down what carpet tile is the most suitable for the area and budget, what next?
