Headline: The Honest Truth About How Our Floors Work

Look, I know what you’re probably thinking: "Carpet tiles? Isn't that for ugly office cubicles?"

That used to be true. But we’ve completely re-engineered how this stuff works for actual homes. If we were sitting down for coffee and you asked me why you should put this in your house, here is exactly what I’d tell you.

1. Forget the Glue (Seriously)

The reason people hate installing carpet is the mess. The glue, the tack strips, the knee-kickers—it’s a nightmare.

We use something called the FriXion System. Think of it like a high-tech version of those non-slip pads you put under a rug, but way stronger.

  • How you install it: You just peel the liner off the FriXion pad, stick it to the corner of the tile, and press the tile to the floor. That’s it.
  • The Genius Part: The pad grips the subfloor so the tile doesn't slide, but it doesn't permanently bond. If you place a tile crooked? Just pick it up and move it. You can't mess this up.

2. The "Life Happens" Factor (Yes, they are Washable)

This is the feature that changes everything. If you have kids or pets, you know that spills aren't a matter of "if," but "when." With traditional carpet, a glass of red wine or a muddy dog means you’re on your hands and knees scrubbing for an hour.

With our tiles?

  1. Pop it up: Lift the soiled tile off the floor.
  2. Wash it: Throw it right in your washing machine (on the gentle cycle).
  3. Put it back: Once it's dry, place it back down. It’s like having a brand-new floor every time you do laundry.

3. Why You Should Buy Direct (The Insider Tip)

You might have seen our products on Amazon, Walmart or at other retailers. And that’s great—it proves we are the real deal and trusted by the biggest retailers in the world.

But here is the inside scoop: Buy it here, directly from us.

When you buy from the big marketplaces, you're paying for their fees and their policies. When you buy here at CarpetDIY.com (Atelier):

  • You save money: No middleman markups means the best price, guaranteed.
  • You get fresh inventory: You are getting product straight from the line, not something that’s been sitting in a generic fulfillment center for six months.
  • You talk to experts: If you have a tricky install question, you aren't chatting with a bot; you're talking to the people who actually designed the floor.

Bottom line: We made this flooring to be easy enough for a first-time DIYer but durable enough for real life. Grab a sample pack, give it a feel, and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.
