Border Carpet

Would you rather have Granite tops and carpet through out the house or Laminate tops and tile through out?

If had to decide between a Granite top and ordinary carpets through out your home(except for kitchen and bath)or a modern looking laminate top and upgraded tile with border accents throughout what would you choose?

That would depend on where I lived and how I used my house. If I had kids playing on the floors a lot, carpet, it's so much more comfortable than tile, and cheaper than area rugs. The granite counter is a bonus either way for its durability. I'm not a fan of carpet stains and shampoo machines, but I did grow up in the midwest and I think "tile" and my feet get cold.

Carpet Tiles

Anytime it involves your floors, you shouldn't limit yourself to just carpet, but try the newer carpet tiles instead.  Carpet tiles are available in an array of designs and a great choice of materials as well.  Bordered, geometric, contemporary, or bamboo - will give your floors a complete makeover and a great look as well.

When you go out to buy carpet tiles, you'll need to think about where you plan to install them. The tiles will vary in density as well as thickness. Carpet tiles with more thickness have a cushion so that it's soft on the surface, making them ideal for homes.  They will also provide a degree of thermal insulation as well.  The thinner types of tiles are best for offices, gyms, and other high traffic areas.  All carpet tiles are easy to maintain and will last you for a long time.

The tiles will come in a variety of materials and patterns.  If you choose, you can make your home a greenhouse by using bamboo carpet tiles, or you can choose terracotta carpet tiles that will  give your interior an earthly feel.

You may just want to liven things up a bit or play down your floor, depending on the look you are going for.  Carpet tiles that are made from foam, rubber, linoleum, and vinyl are best for children's rooms, office spaces, or other high traffic areas.  The cost for the tiles will depend on their thickness and density, which means that the prices can range from 1$ per square foot up to 40$ per square foot.

Tiles for carpet will offer you several advantages when you compare them to wall-to-wall carpets. They are easy to install and easy to transport, as you can install them without having to move any furniture!  They are very durable as well, and will last longer than most types of carpet even when they are used in high traffic areas.

You can also unleash your creative side as well with carpet tiles.  You can mix and match different tiles, or use a color for the border and even create a distinctive look using various patterns.  Unlike wall-to-wall carpet, you don't need any professional help in case of tear, wear, or staining.  If they become torn or stained, just replace that tile with a new one.

There are carpet tiles available to fit each and every taste, even budget and furnishings style as well.  As they are less expensive, they will offer you the chance to experiment with your interior.  Pretty much the same with carpets, the installation of tiles is very important.

They must be installed on hard surfaces, such as stone, cement, or ceramic tile.  The surface has to be smooth and clean, so the adhesives will last and your floor will have a well-finished look.  The carpet tiles will normally have cushion or padding already installed, which will reduce the cost and extend the life of the carpet.
