• Q: can your carpet tile be installed over a low knap basement carpet?

  A: Ideally any carpet should be removed before installing new carpet tile as it is best to install carpet tiles on a smooth, clean surface.

• Q: Can we install carpet tiles over existing carpets?

  A: We recommend removing existing carpets before installing new carpet tiles. It can be possible to install carpet tiles over very low-pile or commercial existing carpet. Still, ideally, carpet tiles should be installed on a smooth, clean, flat surface to ensure proper adhesion and no gaps between tiles. If you are installing over a high pile carpet with a plush pad, we recommend placing a 1/4" plywood board over the carpet to keep the tiles from separating when walked over.
