Carpet FAQ’S

What are the benefits of carpet tiles?

• Huge variety of designs and styles –
  At McMats Carpet Market we have a huge amount of commercial carpet tiles in a large variety of colours and patterns. So come down to the factory and have a look at what we have on offer.

• Comfortable –
  Carpet tiles are comfortable to walk on and many are cushion backed, giving them a more spongy depth.

• Easy maintenance –
  Carpet tiles are light and easy to install. In fact, you can install them yourself. Many people use carpet tiles in their homes and the entire floor can be laid within hours without paying expensive installation charge.

• Easy to replace –
  Forget about the hassles that dirt, coffee or other types of stains do to wall-to-wall carpets, ceramic or clay tiles. You can simply remove the stained tile, clean it and then place it back in its place. Check out our blog that shows how easy to replace they really are.

• Reduce the noise level –
  Carpet tiles are brilliant sound insulators. You can place them in areas with high sound levels. By reducing high frequency areas, carpet tiles help in creating a comfortable and quiet atmosphere.

• Prevent injuries –
  You can install our Carpet Tiles in slippery areas, even a staircase because they offer good resistance against trips, slips, and falls.

• Installation procedure of carpet tiles is easy and saves money –
  Carpet tiles are quick to install in an office or home and you need only a sufficient portion to cover the surface. You don’t need to glue them so they are great for rentals and investment properties. You just need a sharp Stanley knife and a steel edge ruler to cut into edges or corners. You can store our tiles easily and transport them from one place to another place without any hassle, unlike carrying a roll of carpet that can be very strenuous and heavy.

Why use second hand carpet?

The benefits of using second hand carpet from McMats Carpet Market is that we source our carpets from commercial installation sites and the material is therefore designed for thousands of people to walk on everyday. It has never been in areas of children or animals so is clean and durable. Usually hotels, offices, gaming venues change their carpet because they want a new style, or are renovating or changing their branding / look and feel. We have pulled up commercial carpet that has been in offices for under a week and is being removed simply because management didn’t like the colour. Secondhand carpet is perfect for use in a bedroom, commercial office, home office, bungalow, unit, lounge, movie room and more. It is particularly a great investment for new start up businesses or rental properties.

We even have unique one off styles and colours which would look great in any home, including some retro and vintage carpet and one off wild designs. Also check out our range of Brintons Axminster Wool Carpet.

Is the secondhand carpet clean?

Yes. The carpet we source and reuse is taken from high-rise commercial buildings. We do not source carpet from a domestic environment where dogs, cats, canaries and kids have rolled around on and soiled. Commercial carpet will have general wear and tear (in some areas), some parts that are faded (e.g. high traffic areas or where chairs have been situated) and other idiosyncrasies that we assess once we take the carpet back to our factory. The carpet is graded out and then priced accordingly.

We always professionally steam clean our carpet before we lay it on any floor. A large bulk of our customers have been with us for years and swear by the durability, longevity and quality of secondhand commercial carpet.
