Problems solved by technology

[0011] Another disadvantage associated with the above-mentioned adhesive and pre-coat installation methods is the requirement that the floor to which the tile is to be fixed be extremely clean and dry
However, it has been realized that this type of flooring can only be used where heavy rolling transport is not expected, in which case there would be a "snowplow" effect, causing the edges of the carpet to lift

Abstract

The present invention describes a backed cushioned carpet tile and a method of applying adhesive-free backed cushioned carpet tile installation. This carpet tile is made to exacting specifications, in any individual carpet tile, no corners are 1 / 16" or more off the floor due to curling, and no corners in the tile have loops larger than 3 / 16". In this way, substantial or no adhesive use can be used to complete the installation of carpet tiles that can withstand various types of wear, such as the rigors of rolling transport, etc., without causing movement over adjacent tiles or cocked.

Description

field of invention [0001] In general, the present invention relates to back cushioned or foam carpet tile installations that can use little or no adhesive, back cushion or foam tile carpets for such installations and use with Methods associated with back cushioning or foam tile carpet tiles with little or no adhesive. More particularly, the present invention relates to substantially free-laying back cushioned modular carpet installations with little or no adhesive that retain their position during use and are capable of withstanding rolling Transport without undesired lateral displacement. Background of the invention [0002] Carpet tile assemblies are widely used as floor coverings because they offer many of the advantages over wider sloom carpets. Because such rugs are offered in relatively small sizes, such as 18 x 18 or 36 x 36 square inches, are common specifications. They can achieve visually different design effects. In addition, the life of the floor covering as ...
