Description
Office & reception carpet tiles
Make your floors work harder with Commercial Printed Carpet Tiles built for branded environments and daily operational wear. These commercial carpet tiles combine UV-printed, full-colour graphics with durable rubber backing to deliver a modular surface that suits office carpet tiles, reception carpet tiles, and contract carpet tiles for corporate fit-outs. Whether you need a subtle brand pattern across a lobby, a logo repeat through customer walkways, or zoning graphics for departments and queues, the modular format keeps your space flexible and easy to maintain.
Because tiles can be installed and refreshed in sections, reception areas and front-of-house zones stay presentable with minimal downtime. For contractors and facilities teams, the modular approach also supports phased installs and staged refurbishments—ideal when access is limited or multiple sites are being updated on a tight schedule.
High-traffic commercial carpet tiles
High traffic carpet tiles are most effective when they are designed for repeat cleaning, frequent movement, and selective replacement. This is exactly where modular flooring outperforms traditional one-piece coverage: if a doorway strip, corridor line, or queue lane becomes worn, you can replace only the affected tiles instead of rebuilding the entire floor. As a result, commercial environments retain a consistent, professional finish without unnecessary material cost or disruption.
In addition to durability, UV printing enables precise brand control—sharp logos, clean typography, and defined wayfinding graphics that remain visually stable over time. That makes these printed carpet tiles suitable for retail corridors, reception lines, meeting-suite routes, and other high-visibility locations where appearance and safety both matter.
Artwork & layout requirements for commercial use
Recommended resolution: Minimum 150 DPI at final size. Use 300 DPI for small text, detailed icons, or photography-heavy layouts.
Colour reproduction: Full CMYK printing using UV-resistant inks for long-term colour stability in commercial areas. Pantone matching is available on request—include PMS references with your artwork submission.
Accepted formats: PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, high-resolution JPG. Vector artwork (AI/EPS/PDF with vector elements) is preferred for logos and crisp text.
Bleed: Add 50mm bleed on all sides for full-coverage graphics. Our pre-press team checks bleed and scaling before production to prevent unwanted borders or cropped elements.
Three ways to submit artwork
1. Upload print-ready files
Upload during checkout for files under 64MB. If your artwork is larger, share via Google Drive, Dropbox, WeTransfer, or similar and email the link with your order number. Every file is manually pre-flight checked for resolution, bleed, and dimension accuracy before printing.
2. Use free design consultation
If you have brand assets and a clear brief, our design team can prepare a professional layout for your commercial carpet tiles. Provide logos, colour references, preferred placement, and any examples you want to follow. Initial concepts are typically shared within 24–48 hours for review.
3. Choose bespoke design services
For complex environments—multi-zone plans, large-format pattern systems, sponsor grids, or reworking low-quality files—bespoke design services produce print-optimised artwork and editable source files for future repeats.
Proofing & approval
All orders follow a proof-approval workflow. You receive a digital proof showing exact layout, scaling, and placement. You can request adjustments before approving for production, ensuring the final commercial fit-out matches your requirements.
Commercial Printed Carpet Tiles pricing
Pricing is calculated by square footage. Smaller coverage areas cost more per square foot due to setup and handling requirements, while volume orders unlock lower rates for contract carpet tiles and multi-site installations.

| 0.68 – 1.34 sq ft | £19.64 |
| 1.35 – 2.69 sq ft | £10.87 |
| 2.70 – 5.38 sq ft | £7.09 |
| 5.39 – 10.76 sq ft | £3.60 |
| 10.77 – 108 sq ft | £3.60 |

Professional finishing for contract installations
Finish options are designed to improve durability, safety, and presentation—especially important for reception carpet tiles and high-traffic zones where edges can take constant impact.
Overlock stitching for a clean commercial finish
Colour-matched polyester thread creates a refined, durable border that resists fraying and maintains a neat outline. Overlock finishing suits permanent office areas, reception zones, and premium customer-facing spaces where visual quality is a priority.
Best Applications: Executive reception areas, boardrooms, permanent corporate installations, branded retail zones, corporate lounges, premium office spaces
Anti-slip rubber border for public-facing safety
A safety-grade PVC rubber strip creates a beveled transition around the edge to reduce trip risk and add grip. This option is well suited to high traffic carpet tiles used in busy public environments or temporary layouts where movement may occur.
Best Applications: Trade show exhibition booths, temporary installations, high-traffic zones, public spaces, areas with wheelchair access, hospitality venues, modular flooring systems
Edging pricing for commercial carpet tiles
| Edging Type | Cost per Running Foot | Commercial Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Overlock Stitching | £0.50 | Professional sewn edge on all sides, colour-matched thread, prevents unravelling in commercial environments |
| Anti-Slip Rubber Border | £0.75 | Safety-grade PVC rubber strip on all sides, enhanced grip for commercial areas, beveled edge profile |
Calculating edging costs: For a 3000 x 2000mm carpet tile (3m x 2m), the perimeter is 16.4 running feet (5m total perimeter). Overlock edging would add £8.20, whilst rubber edging would add £12.30 to your order. Edging is optional but strongly recommended for commercial settings with frequent footfall.
Exceptional bulk savings for commercial rollouts
Volume pricing is structured to support contract-scale coverage. Once your total coverage crosses 108 sq ft, the £3.40/sq ft rate applies—ideal for multi-floor office fit-outs, refurbishment programmes, and multi-site retail branding.

Rubber-backed modular construction for commercial floors
This construction is designed for stability and repeat handling. Unlike traditional carpet that can shift, ripple, or require complex installation, the rubber-backed base supports reliable placement and straightforward maintenance for office carpet tiles and reception carpet tiles.
Anti-slip safety performance: Strong grip against hard floors reduces sliding and creeping under heavy use.
Moisture resistance: The backing helps protect subfloors by limiting liquid penetration.
Acoustic benefits: Rubber density assists with sound dampening in busy corridors and open-plan areas.
Dimensional stability: Tiles maintain shape and lay flatter over time, reducing edge issues common with unbacked alternatives.
Installation simplicity: Modular placement supports staged installs and quick changes during refurbishments.
Modular replacement advantages for high traffic areas
For high traffic carpet tiles, replacement speed and selective maintenance are critical. The modular approach supports practical upkeep without disrupting operations.
Spot replacement: Replace only the worn or stained tiles rather than rebuilding the whole floor area.
Spare inventory strategy: Order extra tiles at the start of a project so replacements match instantly without reprint lead time.
Traffic pattern management: Rotate tiles between low-traffic and high-traffic zones to distribute wear evenly.
Access to subfloor systems: Lift tiles for cable or maintenance access, then reinstall cleanly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are Commercial Printed Carpet Tiles durable enough for offices and reception areas?
A: Yes. These commercial carpet tiles are produced with UV printing for colour stability and rubber backing for stability on hard floors. They are suitable as office carpet tiles and reception carpet tiles, including areas with frequent foot traffic. Optional edging further improves durability and edge performance in busy environments.
Q: How do I clean and maintain high traffic carpet tiles?
A: Vacuum regularly to remove grit that causes fibre wear. For spills, wipe promptly and spot-clean using mild detergent and water, blotting rather than rubbing. For broader cleaning, commercial carpet cleaning methods can be used. Routine maintenance helps preserve appearance and print vibrancy.
Q: Can I replace single tiles if an area gets worn or stained?
A: Yes. The modular format is designed for targeted replacement. Lift the affected tile and replace it without disturbing surrounding tiles, which is one of the key benefits of contract carpet tiles for operational spaces.
Q: How much do commercial carpet tiles cost?
A: Pricing starts from £3.60 per square foot for orders between 5.39–108 sq ft, reducing to £3.40/sq ft once your total coverage exceeds 108 sq ft. Smaller coverage areas cost more per square foot due to setup requirements. Express delivery adds 10–40% depending on speed, and optional edging costs £0.50–£0.75 per running foot.
Q: What file formats do you accept?
A: PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, TIFF, and high-resolution JPG are accepted. Vector files are preferred for logos and sharp text. Use at least 150 DPI at final size (300 DPI recommended for detailed designs) and add 50mm bleed on all sides for full-coverage artwork.
Q: What turnaround options are available for contract carpet tiles?
A: Standard production is 5 working days from proof approval to delivery. Express options include 72hr (+10%), 48hr (+15%), 24hr (+20%), and same-day collection (+40%) where available. All times begin after artwork approval.
